08443510750

The phone providers really oughta do something about these calls, like put some sort of company code at the start so you can tell who’s calling. If they don’t, they should be held accountable for letting it go on. It’s getting ridic!

I was contacted by a recorded voicemail from the number ‭0844 351 0786‬, claiming to be from a chap named Andrew Lobo, apparently representing HMRC. The voice was distinctly American and sounded robotic, threatening me to get legal representation and return their call regarding a rather “urgent” issue, warning I’ll face “serious repercussions” if I don’t comply. When I returned the call, a gentleman with a noticeable Indian accent informed me of a supposed tax audit they’d conducted on my profile. He mentioned they had sent me a letter three months prior and, since they hadn’t received a response from me, they were gearing up to file charges against me for several serious offences, including: 1. Tax fraud 2. Tax evasion 3. Altering financial records, among others. They claimed I owed a staggering amount of £3986. The caller proceeded to pressure me into paying up, or else they would escalate the matter to court-suggesting I could be slapped with a fine of up to £35,000 or even face five years behind bars. When he asked me how I wished to proceed, I admitted I was utterly baffled, as his allegations made no sense whatsoever. It was all very manipulative and frightening. In a huff, he ended the conversation the moment he realised I wasn’t falling for his tactics. He threatened to seize my properties and freeze my earnings as well. I managed to jot down a badge ID: 523983 and Case Reference Number: DC/2320/R, with him identifying himself as Andrew Lobo.

Got a call saying I'm involved in fake tax claims and that I should press 1 to talk to someone about it. They warned me if I don’t, I’ll get a notice for arrest. Total scam!

Got a call from some recorded voice claiming to be HMRC India, saying there’s a tax fraud case against me. Naturally, I freaked out a bit cause I had no idea what was going on!!

Got a call from a computer voice claiming to be HMRC saying I’d ignored letters and there’s a warrant out for me, which is total rubbish! Honestly, never pick up these calls. HMRC won’t be ringing you like that, ever!

Got a robo call from "HMRC" saying I’m involved in some tax fraud, and I should press 1 to speak to someone. So glad it was just a machine and not a real person - I would have told them to get lost in no uncertain terms! :( what a load of rubbish.

Got this robocall saying it was from the tax office, HMRC. They accused me of fraud and warned that if I didn’t hit 1, I’d be getting arrested soon. Total scam!

I experienced something similar, and I must say, it's quite unsettling. It's alarming to find oneself in such a dire financial situation without any prior knowledge of it. I was completely taken aback! It's disheartening to think that there are individuals out there who exploit the very lives that others, with great generosity, have been given. What a disgrace!

Avoid replying entirely. It's a scam from HMRC.

On the 19th of September 2019, precisely at 10:03 in the morning, I happened upon an automated voicemail from the number ‭0844 351 0750‬, allegedly originating from Andrew Lobo’s office, which claimed to be Tax Auditors for HMRC. The voice, distinctly American and automated, warned me that I ought to have legal counsel ready, as the matter at hand was “extremely urgent,” bearing the threat of facing the full brunt of the law should I fail to respond. Curiosity got the better of me, so I returned the call, whereupon I was met by a chap with a strong Indian accent. He asserted that a tax audit had been conducted on my records and mentioned a letter they had supposedly dispatched about three months prior. Since they had not heard back from me, they were preparing to lay charges of: 1. Tax fraud 2. Tax evasion 3. Falsification of accounts, and so forth. According to their calculations, I owed a staggering £3,459.95. When he inquired about how I handled my tax filings, I explained that I engage an accountant for that purpose. However, he insisted their review of my account revealed discrepancies - which left me baffled! What was it they had compared my figures to? He urged me to settle the matter promptly, or they would escalate it to legal proceedings, threatening severe repercussions should the court find me culpable. This included the potential auction of my properties, garnishing of my wages, fines extending to £30,000, or even a prison sentence of up to five years. Should I be convicted, he indicated that a warrant for my arrest would promptly follow. When I confessed my confusion, expressing that none of the information was congruent, he remained obstinately rude throughout our conversation. He issued threats that left me quite shaken and ultimately ended the call when he recognised I was not succumbing to his intimidation tactics. Before he hung up, he managed to provide a badge ID of 523983 along with a case reference number: DC/2320. - The number to beware of: ‭+44 844 351 0750‬.

Received a call just now from someone claiming to be Dennis Grey from the tax office. I had a feeling they'd go down this route-such dreadful individuals!

Got a call from some robotic voice saying they were from HMRC. Sounded totally fake and annoying. Definitely a scam trying to trick people. Watch out for these dodgy calls!

Got a call from a robotic voice claiming it was from customs and the HRMC, telling me I needed to contact solicitors and ring them back. Felt dodgy to me.

Got a call with a recorded voice saying it was HMRC and that there’s some fraud case on me. They warned if I didn’t press 1, I’d be arrested or something. I just ended the call straight away!

So I picked up the phone and just said hello, and out of nowhere an automated voice replies with goodbye! When I tried ringing back, the call just dropped right away. Weird stuff.

i got a call from someone who wanted info about a crash i'd supposedly been in. i could tell it was a scam right away, so i just ended the call. now i'm wondering if maybe i shouldnt have hung up so quick. if they ring again, i'll probably play along just to mess with them and waste some of their time!

Got a call from a call centre today, number pinged like 4 times. You can actually hear loads of chatter in the background before someone picks up.

Got a call from a robot! I picked up and said hi, then this robotic voice just said goodbye!

Totally a scam! Some woman called saying she was from the Queen’s office, threatening me about owing tax money. Turns out it’s one of those fake bank and credit card scams, often run by people in India trying to freak you out about government debts. Needless to say, I’ve blocked the number! Watch out for this one!
