Nothing to be scared of You wouldn’t get a phone call if you were being investigated for anything I seem to get a lot of these and similar phone messages

Yes, ignore it.HMRC do not contact anyone in that manner.

Complete scam, it’s a recorded voice. Don’t press any numbers. I get that one regularly. You can report on the .gov website for HMRC scams. They’ll try and get the number taken down and stop anyone else being harassed.

Its a scam, sounds US based to me. I wouldn't worry, if they were really investigating you I'm sure they wouldn't use a recorded message to let you know. You did the right thing in putting the phone down. It will be fine. flowers

I have just had a phonecall with a recorded message saying I am being investigated by the national crime agency and my national insurance number has been suspended as it has been used in several criminal activities confused at that point I felt scared and put the phone down blush
