7 yearsGot a recorded message telling me to ring HMRC straight away or I'd need a lawyer. Don't get tricked! Total scam call!HMRC7 yearsGot a call from someone in India asking for my personal info, which I didn’t give of course, told them straight it seemed like a scam. They rang me a couple of times but I just hung up. It’s really not on, acting like proper scammers just to get info before posting anything. I rang HMRC myself to sort it out, definitely wouldn’t trust that number at all.HMRC7 yearsI got a message on my voicemail that was full of bad grammar and sounded dodgy. It said something like "We have serious charges against you and your National Insurance number. This is urgent. Call ##### now or face terrible legal trouble. This is your last warning from Mike Wilson at HM Revenue and Customs." Honestly, it felt really threatening and borderline criminal. I worry this kind of scam could easily scare older or vulnerable folks. I've reported it to the TPS, but I’m not sure they’ll actually do anything about it. What a nasty way to try and cause panic.NationalMike WilsonHM Revenue and CustomsTelephone Preference Service7 yearsRidiculous attempt at scaring people with legal nonsense pretending to be from HMRC and some "officer Dennis Gray".
