03002003831 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 03002003831 👆 is reported as a number frequently linked to sophisticated HMRC VAT scams. Fraudsters send convincingly official-looking letters and make automated calls threatening arrest, demanding immediate payment of fictitious VAT debts. Despite some callers using the genuine HMRC number, criminals often spoof it to appear authentic. Recipients often find errors in names or addresses and amounts owed that don’t match their records. Genuine HMRC rarely calls first and, if concerned, individuals are advised to directly contact HMRC through trusted official channels. Never disclose personal or bank details when called, and always verify suspicious communications independently. Reporting such incidents to HMRC and local authorities is essential to combat these scams and protect vulnerable people from financial harm.

Received a call from 0300203831 claiming they were from HMRC about some VAT issue. Has anyone else had this? I’m a bit suspicious, sounds dodgy to me. Just want to check if it’s for real or just a scam going around!

I got two letters through the post, one supposedly from HMRC and the other from VAT Debt Management, both referencing this phone number. They looked really convincing, even used those official brown HMRC envelopes that made it seem so legit. When I rang the number, I had to go through loads of departments and was left on hold for about an hour and a half - felt exactly like dealing with the actual tax office. They claimed I was VAT registered and owed a massive £27,068.58. Seriously, don’t ring them! Just ignore it!

Our company, which has been dissolved, has received a couple of letters from "HMRC" demanding £28,000 in outstanding VAT. The return number on the correspondence was 0300 200 3831. I plan to reach out to HMRC tomorrow to verify whether these letters were genuinely issued by them.

My neighbour keeps getting letters meant for me, claiming I owe VAT to HMRC and telling me to ring 03002003831. I even got contacted by a so-called debt agency demanding payment. When I tried calling them, no one answered, and they just sent emails asking for all my personal info but never gave any names or direct phone numbers. I refused to cooperate. I’ve reported everything to HMRC and the police because it’s clearly a scam. They’ve registered a company in my name but used my neighbour’s address. Don’t get caught out by this!

Today we received a letter that pretends to be from HMRC - but we’re both employed, not self-employed, plus the name on it is totally wrong and it’s actually addressed to my neighbour who lives just across the street! Surely a scam, because when you Google the number it’s not legit at all.

This number is definitely a scam pretending to be HMRC. They even got my name wrong on the letter, but it looks pretty legit at first glance. The crooks have actually registered a business under my name so now there’s some fake VAT debt. I’m receiving official letters from HMRC alongside the scam ones. HMRC have now passed my case to their fraud department to sort it out.

I got a letter saying it was from HMRC telling me to call 03002003831, though there was a mistake in the letter, it seemed real enough. I decided to call a number I already knew for HMRC, and found out the letter was fake. From what I hear, HMRC are aware of these scams but arent really taking proper action. Best advice - don’t phone the number on the letter or visit any website it mentions.

This number really is from HMRC regarding VAT, but usually they don’t call folks directly, they send letters instead. If you get a call from this number, just tell them you’ll ring them back. Then head straight to hmrc.gov.uk and find the official VAT contact number to check it’s legit. Scammers often spoof real numbers to trick people. However, if you ring the official number yourself, even if it’s the same one that called, you’ll get through to the proper department. Scammers only have control when they’re the ones making the initial call.

I’ve just experienced a rather similar call myself. When I picked up initially, there was complete silence on the other end, so I decided to hang up. However, they immediately called back. A robotic voice then proceeded to issue a warning about some alleged tax fraud case against me, insisting that if I didn’t press 1, I’d find myself in hot water with the law. This is definitely something I’m going to report to the proper authorities. I worry this scam could potentially ensnare those in vulnerable situations, who might be facing their own challenges. If anyone else has encountered this, I urge you to report it too; we need to put a stop to these tactics swiftly!

The chap on the line was muddled, and as soon as I mentioned I couldn't quite grasp what he was on about, he threatened to hang up and claimed I’d be nicked within the hour! It was all so odd, especially when he brought up HMRC - it just didn’t feel genuine. What’s more, he called me but then proceeded to ask for my name and address, which really ought to be in his records, don’t you think? Just wondering if anyone else has experienced a call from someone actually English, as that wasn’t the case for me.
