An automated message in an American accent claimed to be from HMRC, stating that legal action was being taken after a letter, and prompted me to press 1 to speak to an officer; I ignored it and the call ended after a brief goodbye.

Expert Opinion
Recorded messages claiming urgency from HMRC, especially with accents mismatched to UK authorities, often signal scam attempts to extract personal details. In this instance, the automated prompt to connect to an 'officer' after mentioning legal proceedings mirrors common tactics used by fraudsters impersonating tax bodies. Genuine HMRC communications arrive via post or verified channels, never unsolicited calls demanding immediate action. Hang up without engaging, and report the number to Action Fraud or your phone provider to block it. Verify any tax issues directly through official gov.uk portals, avoiding any shared information over the phone. Staying vigilant prevents potential identity theft or financial loss.
