HMRC Phone Scams

In October 2020 HMRC reported a 127% rise in the number of phishing scams reported to them that took place in August 2020 compared to the same month the year before. 

September of that same month a case was reported in Canterbury where  a man lost £15,000 to one of these scams. 

Therefore it is necessary to keep track of the numbers that are being used and the tactics employed. On this page we have recorded and categorised HMRC scams that are reported to us and reported on social media.

We keep up to date records of numbers used for HMRC phone scams; including phishing scams and premium rate numbers.
