Claiming to represent a tax authority, warning of court proceedings and urging me to hit 1 for an agent. The speaker had a US accent, and HMRC never calls like that. Clearly fraudulent
HMRC Impostor Scam Alert!
Summary — +447447580498
Expert Opinion
Spot the scam straight away if a call claims to be from HMRC with threats of huge fines or legal action—legitimate tax authorities never ring you up demanding immediate payment. Hang up without engaging, especially when the voice sounds American, as these fraudsters often use automated messages to panic you into pressing buttons or sharing details. Block the number immediately to avoid repeats, and report it to Action Fraud for tracking. If rattled, double-check your tax status directly on the gov.uk site. This ploy preys on fear, but staying calm nips it in the bud—scams like this rack up millions in losses yearly, so vigilance pays off.

Pre-recorded alert claiming to be from the tax authorities, delivered in an American accent. They threatened a huge fine for alleged unpaid taxes. Since I don't owe income tax and HMRC doesn't make such calls, it's clearly fraudulent. Could alarm those more susceptible.
