02896002747 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02896002747 👆 is reported as a common scam involving automated calls falsely claiming to be from HMRC about tax evasion or court action. The scammers use prerecorded messages threatening arrest warrants and urging recipients to call back specific numbers. Many have noted errors in the message, such as misnaming HMRC, and suspicious elements like American voices or unresponsive call-backs.

Woke up to an automated call saying I was involved in some tax fraud and threatened with court if I didn’t ring back. Not the best way to start the day! I didn’t bother returning the call but looked the number up online, and turns out it’s a scam. At least they didn’t say my name, which was a bit of a relief.

I had a similar experience. The caller claimed to be from HMRC, and my phone flagged it as a possible scam. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!

I received a message claiming to be from HMRC, insisting that I contact a 'Linda Wright' immediately, or else they would issue an arrest warrant against me. My phone identified the call as likely fraudulent. When I attempted to return the call, an American-sounding automated voice informed me, "This number is not currently active for receiving calls." It was the same number they had instructed me to call back.

Got a call claiming to be from HMRC, but I reckon it’s just a scammer trying to pull a fast one. I've gone ahead and blocked the number!

Got a robot voicemail from 0289 600 2747 just yesterday. It said I had to call Linda Wright at HMRC or I’d face an arrest warrant. My phone flagged the number as maybe a scam. So, I tried calling back, but an American-sounding robot told me the number isn’t accepting calls right now. Really strange, what’s going on?

Just yesterday, I got a robo call from a woman claiming that someone had filed a complaint against me about dodging taxes and that the HRC would be taking me to court. She clearly said my full name. I didn’t bother calling back but did report it to the HMRC. I knew right away it was a scam because they messed up and said HRC instead of HMRC in the message. Total giveaway!

i got a call from a number that looked like it was from belfast. when i picked up, a recorded female voice said she was from hmrc and accused me of tax evasion. she told me to ring back straight away to sort it out. i didn’t bother calling back and blocked the number. they left a message on my answerphone, which sounded quite pushy and kept telling me not to ignore it and to call them back. honestly, if hmrc needed to get in touch, they wouldn’t use calls like this. don't fall for it!

Beware of scammers pretending to be from HMRC! They’re talking about tax evasion or fraud - definitely going to report this to the HMRC phishing department asap.

Can someone please confirm for me that this is definitely a scam? I got a call this morning and, foolishly, I rang the number back. The person on the line said he was ‘agent William Evans’ and it all sounded pretty official. They never actually told me what I was meant to have done but they kept warning me about going to prison and advised me to get a lawyer. Then they said someone would be in touch within the hour to sort out a payment plan, but nobody called me back. I’m probably being gullible but I really need to know if this is a scam or not.

Got a call from this number, they left me a voicemail pretending to be from HMRC saying I had an arrest warrant. They wanted me to ring them back but it felt off. I’m pretty sure it’s just a scam.

Absolutely agree. Clearly a scam and dodgy business. I gave them a ring back (masked my number using 141) just to see what would happen (and for a bit of a laugh :)). Ended up with the same automated message on voicemail. Not quite the amusement I’d hoped for, so I ended the call.

Count me in as well! This appears to be the newest trick in their playbook!

I've just received a rather alarming message myself. It was a recorded voice informing me that failure to return the call will result in the issuance of an arrest warrant. Quite concerning, wouldn’t you agree?
