TELEPHONE MESSAGE THREATENING HMRC LAWSUIT
There is currently a telephone scam where a recorded message is left, allegedly from HMRC, stating that HMRC are bringing a
lawsuit against the individual and going to sue them. The recipient is asked to phone 0161 8508494 and press 1 to speak to the
officer dealing with the case. This scam is becoming widely reported and seems to be targeting older people.
PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THE MESSAGE.
HMRC takes security very seriously but you need to be alert, if you cannot verify the identity of the person making the call you
should not disclose your personal details. You should report these incidents on the Action Fraud website, or you can call them
on 0300 123 2040 from Monday to Friday 09.00- 1800. Please note this number will be charged at your normal network rate.
