08444740101 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08444740101 👆 is reported as a costly and deceptive number frequently mistaken for the official HMRC contact. Users often call it attempting to resolve tax issues, only to incur unexpectedly high charges, sometimes exceeding £40, with long hold times and unhelpful service. Numerous accounts describe it as a scam or premium-rate line not directly affiliated with HMRC, with some callers unwittingly incurring fees by calling back after missed calls or automated messages. Many advise against using this number and stress verifying HMRC’s genuine contact details, typically beginning with 0300. Victims recommend reporting such calls to official fraud and police channels to help combat these fraudulent practices, as traditional call-blocking measures offer limited protection due to spoofed and foreign-operated scam operations.

Avoid ringing this 08444740101 number, I just got hit with an extra £5.36 on my direct debit after a 4 minute call. I was trying to get through to HMRC about a tax refund and thought this was their free number, but clearly it’s not.

08444740101 is definitely not HMRC. This number shows up on Google if you look for the HMRC contact, but it’s a premium line that charges you extra just to link you through. It’s not officially connected with HMRC at all. Make sure you look up the correct HMRC number and double-check before ringing. Avoid using these third-party connection numbers, just call HMRC directly.

Got charged £42 for calls from these numbers and when I contacted the network, they wouldn’t do anything to help. Such a pain!

The comments here show how to get in touch with the police systems designed to log EVERY scam call or number. Using TPS or blocking these calls doesn't do much good. These scams are mainly run by overseas criminal groups who use millions of fake or spoofed UK landline and mobile numbers generated by computers. Make sure you report ALL scam attempts straight to the cyber crime unit and let them handle it. Then share your story on this site so others know what’s going on and how to report. It won’t work if only a couple of people report - EVERY scam call needs to be reported.

I missed a call from this number and wasn’t sure who it was. I rang it back because I was expecting a call and just hit redial by mistake. This was back on 20th January. Today, I saw on my landline bill that I got charged £5.90 for a 30-second call to an answering service. I’m proper annoyed with myself for making such a daft mistake.

Total scam - pretending to be from HMRC and the Tax Office. Don’t even bother ringing this number! I’ve already reported it to Action Fraud. My lad lost £5 from his phone credit trying to sort out a tax question with them.

TAX FRAUD ALERT!! Look at the comments below. The issue is, loads of folks still get caught in these scams, which is why they keep happening to everyone. Don't talk to these callers - don't give them any info. Don't answer yes or no questions. It’ll end badly. And don’t ever ring back a random number without looking it up on sites like this. Ringing back unknown numbers without checking is just silly. Scammers love it when people do that. If you’ve called back - even if nothing seemed wrong - have a look at your phone bill, you might have been ripped off.

Got a dodgy call pretending to be HMRC, saying there’s a warrant for my arrest unless I press 1 right away. I hung up straight away, but my phone bill shows they held the line for 46 mins and I was charged £34! Tried getting help from the phone company but they won’t do anything since it was an incoming scam. Best advice - don’t pick up at all!

DO NOT PICK UP! I got a call from what sounded like some fake HMRC scam, they said if I didn't press anything there'd be a warrant for my arrest. I hung up straight away but later saw on my phone bill that the call stayed connected for 46 minutes and I got charged £34! Tried getting help from my phone provider but they won’t do anything, even though it was clearly a scam coming in to me!

Seriously, how is this even allowed? I ended up paying £6.80 and didn’t get any information at all. Now I have to call back, which means more charges! If I’d known it would cost that much, I wouldn’t have bothered. Total rip-off!

Got hit with a £42 charge on my phone bill after being on hold forever. The bloke kept asking me the same things again and again, really annoying. I can’t tell if it was actually HMRC or just a scam call. He did seem to know where I work though, which is a bit worrying. Fingers crossed my tax stuff is all okay now.

I’ve ringed 08444740101 a few times lately, looks like four times from my call history. It’s for sorting out some tax stuff back on 21st October 2020. Now I’ve got a £40 bill for these calls. Seems like people have been moaning about this number since 2017. Isn’t there tech to block numbers like this?? Or can phone companies add a beep or warning if the call costs way too much? I’m trying to get my provider to sort it out.

I was trying to call the tax office using what I believed was a free number, but it turned out to be a premium rate line, even though the call should have been free. It was the first number that popped up when I searched online. HMRC really need to make sure their official contact info is easy to spot in search results. I’m just trying to pay my tax and ended up getting ripped off!

I got billed for three calls made to this number about a tax question for HMRC. My phone bill shot up loads after calling 08444740101 just three times. Took me ages to figure out it was an HMRC number. Their website is awful and I ended up paying £9 for a 10 minute call where I was left on hold while trying to sort out an issue. So useless, honestly. I can’t help but agree with what others are saying. Why no one keeps an eye on that website? We’re forced to use it to file our tax returns. What a terrible situation we’re all stuck in these days.

Ended up paying £11.40 for a chat about my tax return. The person on the other end was completely pointless which made the call drag on for a whole 57 minutes.

this is really unfair, you have to ring them up to clear up a mix-up they caused, then waste an insane amount of time for no good reason and end up paying an outrageous fee. is this how the government thinks they’re looking after us? honestly, I feel like becoming a modern robin hood, taking all their cash and using it to actually help folks. it’s a proper daylight robbery, but backed by the law - couldn’t sum it up better myself.

Bloody rip-off!!! Ended up paying £8.72 for a call to the local council about my National Insurance number being nicked and used in some dodgy scam to nab my bank info. What annoyed me more was they just brushed me off, saying they couldn’t help at all and told me to ring the jobcentre instead, as they’re apparently the only ones who can help with that sort of thing! It’s a joke. If you’ve been scammed, there’s basically no one to speak to except the jobcentre - ridiculous! Why doesn’t the government step up and give proper advice or support to fraud victims? It’s nuts. They hold all our info, but their weak security gets hacked time and again. They couldn’t care less about people, just their own bottom line!
