They first called me from a mobile phone number with a very elaborated scam about a tax fraud investigation - started by asking personal questions like address/name/Nationality, and then threateaned me to send the police at my house to arrest me unless I could pay a large amount of money immediately.
When I told them I thought it was a scam, they became verbally abusive, screamed at me that this was serious matters,, and called me back (several times) with this so-called official courthouse nu
SCAM!
My dad received a call saying, actually screaming at him that he had to pay £800 of taxes and that otherwise he would get arrested. As my dad’s English is a bit broken over the phone, he said that he couldn’t understand them so they screamed even more saying “ If you don’t understand and if you need somebody else to talk on your behalf, if because you are scared and you know you are wrong” .
So my mum called me and I say to put the phone close to my dad’s one so I could hear and as soon
Like everyone else said, claiming I have outstanding taxes and an arrest warrant out. Haven’t been back in the UK for a couple months so wouldn’t know if I got a letter from hmrc. Called me from +44 7845 XXXXXX first then I hung up because I suspected fraud. He called me back from this number and was telling me case id and arrest code etc. Started to feel legit after he told me to go on the gov website and the number was there the same. I asked to call back after checking my documents and he sai
I thought I was clever and they got me like a little baby. I wasted a half an hour talking to them and stressing out. I only realized this is a scam when they started to rush at the end asking to pay te outstanding tax directly.
I have received a call from them as well, Asian guy said I own money to HMRC and there is a warrant for my arrest or I pay £1765 or I go to court and it will cost me £30,000 I was so confused then I asked him to sent me emails conforming my case he became very angry shouted at me called me a criminal, I hang up he kept on calling back. It was a nightmare situation I could not believe this is happening to me at the end I blocked the number, Its a SCAM people be careful
Got a call on 08/02/2021, very stressful day, had a lady first who gave me her full name and batch ID, then my case number and warrant notice, I freaked out as she was threatening me that it will affect my stay in the UK and I will have to attend to court, currently I'm dealing with a high risk pregnancy, so I spend more time in the hospital than at home, so I couldn't believe what was happening i never did anything wrong in my life either in Spain or UK, and how I could attend court if I'm in c

Kept calling me back, sent me an sms to download an app called Revolut he said download this and sent the mone
Indian accent guy called and told me he work for hmrc and asked me to confirm details. He told me that I owed £1325 tax need to pay straight away and threatened to take me to the court if not payment. Very dangerous....
SCAM CALL at 8:00. they had an extremely convincing robot and hold music they tell you to press one, SAME PHONE NUMBER as royal courts of justice which appears legitimate however I was suspicious and hung up straight away, dialed the number back myself and heard the official number for royal courts of justice stating their phone lines are NOT OPEN until 9:00 AM. The man had an Indian accent, was in a crowded room and and was pushing me to pay £1,700 and if not I would be fined £30,000. I hung up
Just been called by this number too. It was first a mobile number and then when I asked them where they are calling me from and they said it was the Senior Courts Costs Office from the UK Government, I noticed it was a different phone number on the website. He then called me from the same number from the website so it looked even more real and said I am officer Yalcin Davies, we sent you 2 letters for suspected fraud on the UK government. That I had not replied and that it was my last warning. T
This number called me today telling I have to pay 1640 £ and if I don’t I will be arrested up to 3 years or will have a fine up to 45k£. Spend 30 mins on the call because couldn’t understand why. Then I realize that’s fraud, I asked to email my bill and I will have a look.
They tried to be super professional, had a robot talking in the beginning, the you have to press a button choose which option you want. Just their English is not that great, talking slang
I had this call this morning from a Indian accented guy, claiming I owe money to HMRC and there is a warrant out for my arrest unless I pay the fine right away. I Googled the number with him on the phone and the number was right linked to government web so I was believing him but he start treating me giving me options but pushing me to pay without going to court ect so I got suspicious then asked many questions I could then he got angry so I understood that there were something wrong so ended

I just received a call from them (0120446XXXX) and as I was reluctant they said they will call me from the main landline (02079476000) which we checked together online while on the phone. We hang up and he called from that number then I confirmed my full name and address and he said he needed more info to be able to provide more info about my case. Then I said, this does not sound right, tell me now what all this is about. He got angry and rude and advised in 14 days they will take me to court,
This number pretends it is HMRC for unpaid tax, threatening that you have warrant out for your arrest and to pay money. PLEASE do not pay these guys anything!!!
Hi everyone, please do not answer this number. They managed to push me to pay £3951 yesterday pretending they were from HMRC. I am disabled so I got really scared and in a brain fog. I cried and I panicked and I felt pushed to pay. These are professionals. Please arrest these XXXXX.
Got a call saying I’m doing tax fraud and I owe £2000 and there was arrest warrant for me, wasn’t too sure so I asked my manager, he said it was a scam and told me to report them, I emailed XXXXXXX
Got a call today and I kept asking who is issuing this arrest(lol) and he wouldn’t answer me and just kept saying it was from the gov or whatever, he eventually hung up on me because I wasn’t falling for it. So don’t worry it this guy calls you, it’s a scam
A recorded message saying I was evading tax.
Answered the call to an Indian chap called 'XXXX XXX' .
He informed me that there was an arrest warrant out in my name. I questioned his credibility and he then called me back with this number which is a Royal Courts of Justice phone number. Somehow they have hacked into their network. I did give him my name and postcode but no house number, saying send me some official documents. This is a scam!
Called by 2 different Indian guys that said I owed money and there was an arrest warrant for me. First they called me from a different number (+44133231XXXX) and then after they told me to check the government's website they called me from this number. Said they would freeze my accounts and stuff like that. Talked to my accountant in between, it must be a scam. Will re-post if I get arrested xD
Good called by an Indian man who said that I was doing fraud evasion (which I don't), told me that I had to pay immediately or I could try to use a lawyer but I could lose my case and have to pay 10,000£ pound. sounded super legit so be aware
Called me today.. a man with an Indian accent claiming to be HMRC and demanded I pay £1000 for tax or face going to jail today. Very pushy and aggressive..be aware.
The first call was a Liverpool no, with a voice message which then took me to an Indian man just like the other comments below, demanding money otherwise the police will come to my house and arrest me for tax fraud. Complete scam. At the first stage do not give your address details/post code. I asked him to give me his no. and I will call him back, he refused, got angry, called me simultaneously on a London no. which does appear to be correct, so somehow they are scamming that no. in governmen
An Indian man called me, saying I have been done for tax fraud. That someone called them to report me for fraud. I was like XXXXX. Then he said I’m going to be arrested and there’s already a warrant for my arrest. But surely if it was real they wouldn’t have asked me for my name. I was crying and fell for this scam. They asked me for a total of £1350. I was then transferred to another person. Who told me how much do I have in my bank account. I told them I was a single mum and had no money. Then
Complete Scam. Avoid. Hang up immediately! Pretending to be the court office acting on behalf of HMRC saying I will be arrested if I don't pay as they found my guilty of Tax fraud. In my panic, I unfortunately feel for their scam and was lucky that my bank stopped the payment.
Indian accent person called me and said the same thing, the police will arrest me within 25 minutes if I’m not paying £5000 right now. I offered to pay £50 to avoid the arrest and the person started laughing and saying that for £50 the police will not stop. They kept holding me on call and there was already 3 different people talking to me and asking for different amounts of money. They also said I will be arrested for 14 days and not allowed to talk and met anybody during this period. After the
SCAM! The ask to pay immediately some alleged outstanding payment to HRMC threating regarding the fact that you will be arrested if you won’t pay straight away.
Had this experience this morning, claiming I owe £1,985 in tax and there’s a warrant out for my arrest unless I pay the fine right then. They want me go to the post office and buy 20 amazon POR by £100 Inch and pay them with this. Ended up hanging up and googling the number and finding out that it has nothing to do with them. Scammers
Had this experience this morning, claiming I owe £2,600 in tax and there’s a warrant out for my arrest unless I pay the fine right then. Ended up hanging up and googling the number and finding out that it has nothing to do with them. Scammers
