Caller said I had a serious law suit filed against me and I was to ring back the given number immediately.

Some people may be fooled by this scam the Government & Regulators must do more to protect the vulnerable & close these sites down.
  • Caller: HMRC Scam
  • Call type: Prank call
So I went here & found that this scam had been active for some while

They've moved on from "Free Boilers", then (Piggybacking on a real scheme, but to take advantage).
I have an Online Personal Tax Account with HMRC and it's great.

Really easy to use, and to interact with.

Up to date info on all essential aspects of PAYE and Self-Employment, plus accurate info on NI record and State Pension entitlement.

Mind you, I've only paid £4.70 Tax in the last decade!

They won't fool me :D

Quite!

It was in the aftermath of the financial crash and most of our Savings Bonds were attracting the high interest rates that preceded it.

They're so poor now that I have transferred the max. allowable portion of my Tax Free Allowance to SWMBO!
