Didn't bother to answer. I have read it is a scam. It will be about a tax refund but it's a lie.

I had a call this morning from 0161 394 1669 from an Asian Woman who knew my name. She said she was calling about a HMRC refund so I just hung up. Tried calling the number back and it does not exist.

PPI Refund scame

Unknown Caller

Got a woman who woke me up knew my name, purported to be claiming a refund from Hmrc and then also ppi on cards etc I thought ppi had finished. Said I was disabled for years and due nothing as hadn’t paid anything, she said then no not tax related. By this time I said sounds like a scam to me. Was asked if wanted to continue call, said no, she hung up. I used to work in a call centre so can spot a hard sell tactic. Unfortunately didn’t get clear answers, now blocked after reading comments.

I’m very suspicious, checked up on “companiesintheuk.co.U.K.” Very interesting. Have a look.

Luckily, my phone tells me if a call is suspected spam or fraud, so I don't answer. Then I block the number.
