last week we got a phone call/recorded msg supposedly from HMRC .The very posh voice said that this was a fianl warning and we should expect an arrest warrant for non payment of tax. Within 48 hours.To learn more about the case we should call them asap ... they left a number .Now as I am fully aware of our tax payments and the fact that we have always paid any money we owe on time I was a bit put out.I'm not gullible though and the fact that the voice didn't use any name of the person facing arrest made me think it was a scam.I called my OH who was out on a job and he phoned our accountant who confirmed the return phone number was in fact a much publicied number used in a scam.Since that call I've had the same call three times ..all threatening arrest within 48 hours .A call like this could cause a great deal of distress to someone more vulnerable than me so be aware of it and dont panic .It came from an 001 number .
Old people don’t use the internet?
