We have received several reports recently of an HMRC scam whereby people are getting automated messages, supposedly from Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, stating monies need to be paid and law suits are being filed.
We are aware of this scam and are encouraging residents not to give out any personal details and not to call back where messages have been left. If you feel the need to contact HMRC, please only do so through numbers sourced by yourself and to leave a period of time after you have received any contact from possible scammers.
Please spread the word to your friends and family, particularly those who you feel may be vulnerable to this type of scam.
