If I get a call from a number I don’t recognise I ignore it and then google the number. People will usually confirm it is a suspicious number

I had one too, just ignore. The legitimate tax office does not conduct itself in this way.

I had one like this recently. It said I was about to be arrested for tax fraud. It is scary, even when you realise its a scam.

The call came from 07591 850795
Please don't be alarmed if you receive a call from this number!
Just hang up

At about 10.30am this morning a voicemail was left on my husband's mobile.
His phone was off at the time but the caller was obviously not 'live' as the message was half way through when recording started.
Words to the effect if no response received a warrant would be issued and you will be arrested immediately etc.etc.etc.

We are wise to these idiots but these morons can frighten the life out of innocent people.
Bring back hanging!!!
