Heads up! This number really belongs to HMRC, but scammers often fake it just like they do with genuine bank numbers. HMRC won't ring you unless you've been in touch with them first. Make sure to read through all the comments below. Also, keep in mind that some dishonest scammers and even some confused folks with mental issues sometimes post bogus 'safe' reviews for scam numbers or false scam alerts for legit ones on here. Stay sharp!

Spotted this on the HMRC site: Letter IDMS99P relates to Simple Assessment. Basically, if you owe money on your Simple Assessment tax, HMRC will send you a letter letting you know about the overdue payment. The letter includes details like: - ways you can settle the bill - if you’re not able to pay everything at once, to ring HMRC on 0300 322 7835 - the consequences if you don’t pay or get in touch within 28 days after getting the letter Definitely don’t just ignore it!

Got two separate letters asking for payment on old simple assessment taxes from years ago. I’m certain I’ve paid all my taxes, plus I retired 8 years back so everything should be fine. The letters look super legit and proper official, I imagine loads of folks might get worried and just cough up. Also, my tax office is in Newcastle, not Bristol like the letters say.

Got a letter from these lot claiming I owed more than £650. I called my accountant to check, and they said it was a scam and that my tax was all sorted with no money owed. I sent them a photo of the letter, and they passed it on to the actual HMRC to look into. I can’t help but wonder how many folks have been tricked and paid up. Like someone else mentioned, HMRC don’t send bailiffs out - they just tweak your tax code the next year. Also looked up the postcode on the envelope, and it doesn’t show up on Royal Mail’s system at all.

I got a letter claiming I owed money for the 2016-17 tax year, mentioning a 'simple assessment' they said they recently sent me - but I never got it. Feeling a bit iffy about it all, I rang HMRC on 0300 200 3500 to check. They confirmed the letter was real but admitted it was sent by mistake. They said the simple assessment had been posted out too, but from what I’ve seen, stuff often gets lost with how messy the postal service is these days.

I received a missed call from this number, so I decided to ring them back. A gentleman picked up, but his accent was so thick I couldn't make out a word he said before he hung up on me. After doing a bit of digging online, I discovered that this number has been flagged as a scam associated with HMRC. I've since added it to my blocked list.

Make sure to check not just the number 0300 322 7835, but also take a glance at the reference number at the top of any correspondence you may have received. It's another good method for determining whether it's genuine or a bit dodgy!

Sorry about my previous message. I've just checked and this number seems legit on the HMRC website. If you head over to gov.uk and look up ‘Letter IDMS99P - Simple Assessment’, you’ll see it mentioned. Also, HMRC clearly says ‘You must not ignore the letter’, so it’s definitely important.

I just got a letter demanding £680 in tax from 'HMRC', threatening that a debt collector will be sent if I don't pay. The letter looked really official, with proper letterhead and all. But it didn’t add up because I already got my Tax Calculation late last year and just received my new Tax Code for this year. To be sure, I checked my details on the real HMRC website and nothing was wrong. Luckily, finding this site helped me see that the phone number they gave is totally fake!

I've just had eye surgery and couldn’t make out the letter myself, but luckily a relative, who knows these things better, took one look and said it’s definitely a scam. After doing some digging, I’m fully certain it’s just a trick playing on people’s fear of the tax authorities. If the tax people know about this, which they surely do, they’ve got the means to stop it and should act straight away. The letter mentions debt collectors and ruining your credit score, so it’s really intimidating stuff. I’m 80 years old and have been paying my taxes faithfully for over six decades.

I wasn’t entirely sure if this was genuine, so I rang the official contact from the HMRC website to check. They were after some old debts that might not even be valid, so I’d say don’t just brush it off! When unsure, it’s best to do what I did and use the authorised HMRC number to confirm.

I got a letter that looked proper, saying I was owed tax money from 2018, something like £1250. I honestly thought it seemed off. I looked up the number they gave and found out it was a scam. The letter arrived in one of those brown envelopes you’d think comes from the tax office. Luckily, I didn’t call them - wouldn’t want to deal with those con artists. Watch out for these fake official letters, they’re tricking people big time. I'm really glad I spotted the scam and shredded the letter right away. I should probably report it as well.

Like many others have mentioned, I got a letter that looked pretty real saying I owed money after some sort of assessment. Thing is, it didn’t come with any payment details or paperwork.

Honestly, steer clear of this number and don’t engage with it.

Scammers might mess with the numbers they show, but I actually received a letter myself. Before I rang the number on it, I had a look at my personal tax account and found out I really did owe some straightforward assessment fees that had slipped my mind. If you get a call or even a letter about this sort of thing, it’s a good idea to double check your personal tax account.

I've been getting these letters from Simple Assessment saying I owe them money, with a phone number 0300 322 7835 on it. I tried ringing twice, waiting ages - like over an hour each time - just to get through. When I finally did, they cut me off suddenly when I asked to pay in instalments. They only wanted full payment, no flexibility. The guy on the phone started losing patience and his Scottish accent sounded a bit off, which made me suspicious if it’s even legit. Now the latest letter says they’ll send it to debt collectors if I don’t pay. Honestly, I’m not sure what to trust anymore, especially since the number on the letter is still the same 0300 322 7835.

So, I got a letter supposedly from HMRC saying I owe £758, but I actually got paid £790 from them last year. It’s only been a couple of months, and now this number 03003227835 sent me a letter. I called and they kept asking why there were charges for hotels on my account, but I don’t even have a job right now! Feels really fishy, like these people have my personal info but I can’t trust them. I asked them to send me a detailed list of all the charges but still not sure if this is a scam or if HMRC is even involved. Does anyone know if these scammers are actually pretending to be part of the government?

I got a letter not long ago claiming I owed money to HMRC, but that’s not right as I actually got a refund this year because I paid too much tax. The letter talked about something called 'Simple Assessment' PA302, which is meant for people who are self-employed - I’m definitely not self-employed! They even gave a Barclays Bank account number 63464695 with sort code 11-47 to send the money to, but that’s nothing like the bank info HMRC actually uses. Honestly, this is a scam so don’t send them anything!

The digits on those scam letters dont match this number. Just cause you genuinely owe taxes and got a proper letter doesnt mean there isnt a scam going around. Loads of folks have been tricked by it. Maybe theres another reality where folks like those exist at the same time as us.

Honestly, someone deserves to be fired... or better yet, dragged in front of MPs in the commons to answer for their terrible performance. These dodgy people are cashing in on others' suffering.

BEWARE - THIS IS DEFINITELY A SCAM. They’re pretending to be HMRC but are just trying to con people out of money. They’re really good at making it look genuine. I got two letters with my National Insurance number on them, supposedly from HMRC. After checking with the real HMRC, turns out I don’t owe a penny. Since I ignored those letters, now I’ve received another fake letter from a ‘collection agency’ insisting I pay up. I’m going to report this to the police, HMRC’s fraud team, and the National Insurance folks for fraud. Please stay very cautious!

Avoid this number, it’s part of a scam. They send you letters pretending to be from HMRC, but it’s obviously fake. I’ve noticed the scammers even post on this site trying to say it’s legit. Don’t ever phone numbers straight off any letters you get, even if your national insurance details are mentioned. The safest bet is to look up HMRC’s contact info on their official website yourself, rather than clicking any ads on Google. Always use the real site to find the right number.

I really wanted to believe it was just a scam after reading what others said, but I decided to ring the official HMRC number from their website. Turns out, it was genuine. Sure, some of these letters might be dodgy, but others could be totally legit. My advice?

I looked up this number and found that it really belongs to HMRC. However, there have been fraudsters faking this exact number, ringing folks up with threats about unpaid tax and pushing them to pay on the spot. So if you get a call from 0300 322 7835 claiming to be HMRC, don’t give them any info straight away. Instead, ask for a reference and say you’ll call back to check it's legit before you do anything. That way, you can be sure you’re dealing with the actual tax office, not some scammers.

What really worries me is that the letter included my actual National Insurance number! I strongly suggest reporting this straight away to Action Fraud, so they can investigate further. Maybe they can check it against the bank details mentioned!

Got a letter about a basic assessment, and this was the number listed... Turns out it's a scam because the account info on the payment slip wasn't for HMRC at all.

Got a letter today pretending to be from HMRC saying they sent me a breakdown before but I never replied, and asking me to pay using a payment slip... I’ve sent photos of it to HMRC’s phishing team. Really worried about how they even managed to get my National Insurance number tho!

This is definitely a con. All the letters I’ve gotten from HMRC always have my complete name, middle name included, but this one didn’t. The sum they claimed I was meant to pay was absurd, and loads of people have flagged that phone number as bogus on different websites.

Definitely not a scam. I rang 0300 200 3300 to get some clarity about the Simple Assessment Statement that popped up. I even asked them to check Google and get that report removed because it can be really misleading. Best thing is to go straight to the government’s own website where you can settle the bill. Just remember to have your Gateway login handy along with two pieces of ID before you start. Always stick with the official site for these things.

Got a proper letter from HMRC, though I wasn’t sure why the phone number on there looked a bit odd. So I rang HMRC through the number I found on their official website and they told me I do owe about £800 from a past tax year. Best to ring HMRC yourself to be certain. Looks like people are getting a bit panicky, but this all seems legit to me.

I rang HMRC about this number and they told me it’s not theirs at all, not in their system. The letter about money I supposedly owe was all wrong too, not the usual official style. HMRC confirmed I don’t owe anything, so this must be a scam. Don’t believe the positive reviews, those are probably fake and done by the scammers themselves.

After looking into it, I rang HMRC and the letter was legit, turns out I do owe some money. The number on the letter to contact them is 03003227835. You should have a detailed statement showing how much you owe. If you’ve applied for the marriage allowance, that might explain the charge. Loads of folks were caught out by this one.

I got a letter from Simple Assessment about some unpaid tax recently. At first, I was pretty doubtful, especially after reading some of the comments here and on other caller ID sites. To be sure, I rang the official income tax number on gov.uk, which is 0300 200 3300, and they confirmed the letter truly came from HMRC. One thing I found out is that HMRC never calls from a number that shows up on your caller ID - they always ring with a withheld number. So if you get a call from something like 0300 322 7835, it's probably a scam. If you get one of these letters, I’d definitely recommend ringing the number shown on gov.uk to check it out. Also, ask for a full explanation of what you owe and verify if any changes have been made to your tax code since, to avoid paying money you might have already covered.

Not long ago, I got a letter about unpaid tax from Simple Assessment. I was a bit unsure if it was a scam after reading through some reviews on here and other phone ID sites. To clear things up, I rang the official income tax helpline on the gov.uk site, which is "0300 200 3300", and they confirmed the letter genuinely came from HMRC. Something important I found out is that any calls HMRC make usually come through as "no caller ID," so if you get a phone with a number like 0300 322 7835 showing, it’s probably someone trying to scam you. My advice for anyone who gets this kind of letter? Call the number on the official gov.uk website yourself. And take the time to get a detailed explanation of the charges. Plus, check if your tax code changed or if you’ve already paid what they say you owe before panicking.

Not long ago, I got a letter from HMRC with this phone number on it, and thankfully it turned out to be a scam. Folks definitely need to watch out for this kind of thing. It’s always safest to check stuff through the official HMRC gov site rather than trusting random calls or messages.

At first, I wasn’t too sure about it, but I rang the official gov.uk helpline and they confirmed it’s legit. Turns out it’s about taxable benefits declared on the P11D, which is different from your regular income tax stuff. This kind of thing doesn’t actually pop up on the government gateway. Bit annoying, but it’s definitely real and not some scam - it’s just an underpayment.

I got a letter saying I owed £2250, so I rang 0300 322 7835 to sort it out. The person I spoke to said I should pay up first and then they'd send me a breakdown, which I found odd since the letter didn’t include it. I told them I checked online and there was nothing showing I owed any money, which seemed to annoy them. When I said I’d pay on the website, they suddenly offered to give me bank details to send the money directly. I pointed out the letter had a payment slip already, but they kept pushing for immediate payment through their details. They said the website might take up to three weeks to update. I said I’d wait until then before paying. After the call, I double-checked with HMRC and they confirmed the number I called isn’t theirs, and I actually don’t owe anything. Definitely something fishy going on!

Watch out, this is definitely a con. I got a letter that looked like it came from HMRC, telling me about some missing tax linked to my National Insurance number. The contact number they gave was fake, and HMRC themselves told me it’s not legit. Be really cautious because these scammers are also posting comments on sites claiming the number’s real, but it’s not. It’s a total rip-off.

Cheers for sharing this. My elderly neighbour, who’s 95, got the exact same letter and ended up sending money. It’s definitely a scam. The payment was sent to someone named A O SHIPLEY, so it wasn’t from HMRC at all. I called HMRC myself and they confirmed they know about this fraud. The letter even had the right national insurance number, which makes it trickier to spot as a fake, so just be careful.

A family member got a letter claiming they owed £2764 and told to ring this number. When they did, the person on the line was really pushy, insisting the full payment had to be made right away or they’d face legal action. I looked a bit into it and it’s obvious this number isn’t linked to HMRC, even though the “03003227” part looks like something HMRC would use. Plus, the bank details on the letter don’t match what HMRC says on their official government site. I’d say don’t trust this - best to call HMRC directly using their official .gov number to check.

Got a letter saying I owed £2250.00 for an overdue simple self assessment. The phone number listed was 0300 322 7835, so I gave them all made-up details - fake name, National Insurance number, postcode, the lot. The person on the line got annoyed, saying they couldn't confirm my identity, and then cut me off. When I rang back, I ended up speaking to the same bloke again. Honestly, when does that ever happen? I just said “Sorry, wrong number” and hung up while he was trying to keep me on the call. Definitely a SCAM.

I received a message from this number saying it was HMRC. The text said I hadn't paid my taxes and warned me to pay right away or they'd take legal action. It's totally a scam and one of the usual ones you hear about. HMRC would never handle stuff like this by texting you.

It’s not a scam call, it’s actually HMRC. Even if you’ve already got a tax refund, there’s a good chance you still owe some money from past years.

I received a letter claiming to be from "HMR" saying I owed money from a past tax year. It was called Simple Assessment IT. I tried calling the number given, but since it was after 5pm, it just said the office was shut until 9am next day. The letter felt dodgy straight away - the reference number didn’t look anything like a real HMRC one, though it did have my National Insurance number on there, which was pretty unsettling. I checked my HMRC gateway account and it shows I don't owe anything from previous years; in fact, I got a tax refund back in October. The letter looked legit apart from that phone number (03003227835), which isn’t the official one HMRC gives for tax enquiries. Everything else seemed standard like a real letter, except the statement of liabilities. It just showed an amount supposedly owed and a year, plus a slip for payment but no explanation of how they calculated the figure. I’ve forwarded the letter to HMRC’s fraud team, but just a heads up - this is definitely a scam trying to catch people out!
