This is typical of scams in which threats and intimidation are used to try to get UK residents to pay a HMRC fine that does not exist. Avoid any contact with this number. If you have already answered the phone then hang up immediately.

 

What should I do if I get a call from 07898499233?

Do not answer the phone. At most take a screen shot and then delete the number and block further contact. You can report to HMRC by emailing phishing@hmrc.gov.uk or by phone on 60599.
