Expert Opinion
Verify any unsolicited call claiming official status before engaging. Scammers frequently spoof legitimate numbers like those tied to the City of London Police to impersonate authorities, particularly regarding HMRC tax issues. Reports overwhelmingly indicate threats of arrest for unpaid taxes, demanding personal details or payments—classic hallmarks of fraud. Hang up immediately if pressured; legitimate bodies never solicit info this way. Contact HMRC or police directly via official channels to confirm. Enable call blocking on your device and report suspicious activity to Action Fraud. Stay vigilant to avoid falling victim to these intimidating tactics.
