Phone fraudsters may ring your phone and hang up immediately, hoping you will call back. When you do, you may be connected to a premium-rate service that charges high fees. In text scams, you may receive messages from unknown numbers that appear to be from friends or contain tempting offers, encouraging you to respond and incur charges.
Genuine HMRC calls will not threaten immediate arrest or demand instant payment, especially by unusual methods such as gift cards or bank transfer. HMRC usually contacts people about tax matters by letter first, not by phone. If you are unsure, hang up and contact HMRC directly using the official number from its website.
Never provide personal or financial information to unexpected callers. End the call and search the number in our database to see whether others have reported it. If the caller claims to represent a legitimate organisation, contact that organisation directly using its official contact details. You can also report the number on who-calls.me.uk to help warn others.
Numbers beginning with 01 and 02 are geographic numbers for households and businesses. 03 numbers are used by organisations with a nationwide presence. 07 numbers are usually mobile phones. 08 numbers are service lines, with 080 being freephone. 09 numbers are premium-rate services and can be expensive.
