Expert Opinion
Receiving a recorded message claiming to be from HMRC about returned post and impending legal action sounds like a classic scam tactic to panic you into pressing buttons or sharing details. These calls often aim to extract personal information or lead to phishing sites—never press 1 or engage. Instead, hang up immediately and report the number to Action Fraud or your phone provider to block it. Verify any HMRC issues directly through their official website or by calling the genuine helpline on GOV.UK. Staying vigilant helps protect against identity theft and financial loss; if in doubt, trust your instincts and avoid responding.
