The "HMRC" Scam

Watch Out – the HMRC Scam is back

Residents are reporting that they are once again receiving scam telephone calls purporting to be from HMRC, and informing them that due to their failure to pay the correct tax they are being taken to Court.  The perpetrators then leave a number to call back on.  To many of us this is an obvious scam, but to some this could give rise to anxiety and the urge to call back to find out what it’s all about. 

Just ignore the call. HMRC would not contact you in this way, and who knows what calling back might cost you!
