Expert Opinion
Beware of unsolicited calls from unknown numbers, especially those claiming to be from official bodies like the tax office—always verify independently to avoid falling victim. Reports consistently describe these as tax scams, where callers pose as HMRC representatives offering refunds but hang up when pressed for proof. No legitimate authority demands immediate action over the phone; hang up and contact them directly using official channels. Block the number straight away, and report to Action Fraud if you've shared details. Enabling call screening on your phone can filter out such nuisances, keeping your line clear of persistent pests.

Potential tax fraud.
A number that others have flagged as a scam.
When I answered, the caller claimed to represent TaxBack and said I was owed a tax refund. I asked for proof of UK government authorization; they said they couldn’t provide a registered number, so I told them UK public licensing is open information and they must share it. They then hung up.
The call was cut off as soon as I answered, which suggests a likely scam or spam.
