A scam! ere's a message stated on the official Edinburgh Sheriff Court website: "We have been informed that some members of the public have received phone calls purporting to be from Edinburgh Sheriff and Justice of the Peace Court about outstanding payments. These calls DO NOT come from Edinburgh Sheriff Court. This is a scam and should be ignored. SCTS does not proactively call people threatening action over National Insurance, unpaid fines or debts."
Google says it's The Edinburgh Sheriff Office. Hmmmmm whatever.
Had a call from this number no VM left
F**** me! "Loosing national insurance " I'm getting done for tax invasion and tax fraud I owe 1900£ call got off! FRAUD!!!! Didn't even know my name! Saying I've got a warrant out for my arrest furious
Robocaller threating legal action and push 1 to be connected. Normal utter cr@p scam call.
Don't call an HMRC mobile & tell them you are HMRC!
Received a phone call from 131 225 2525 - another one of those scam "you'll lose your national insurance number" "your national insurance number will be suspended" calls.
Usual long pause then male robotic voice, started to hear “magistrate” word so ended call
Just had a call from this number. Couldn't make out most of original message so waited for someone to answer. Definitely not British voice who asked me why I'd phoned. Told him he'd phoned me so he asked me my name and I replied he should know it then I hung up. Definitely a scam.
ive checked their website and they have a statement at the top saying this Edinburgh Sheriff Court and Justice of the Peace Court We have been informed that some members of the public have received phone calls purporting to be from Edinburgh Sheriff and Justice of the Peace Court about outstanding payments. These calls DO NOT come from Edinburgh Sheriff Court. This is a scam and should be ignored. SCTS does not proactively call people threatening action over National Insurance, unpaid fines or debts. Please do not contact the court unless you need to discuss an existing case or account. If you have concerns about possible fraud, please contact the police.
Got a call off this number regarding my nation insurance and a court case. Said I needed to press one to speak to a case worker. I didn’t press anything and it cut off. I’ve blocked the number
Nuisance call definitely
Automated message which I couldn’t hear very well but mentioned magistrates and fines. I hung up. I’m in Tyneside so can’t be genuine.
It was silent, then I said hello few times and line broke.
