Received a call from HMRC neededing to confirm some details or that you're being investigated?

HANG UP! It's a scam

Never, ever give out your personal details over the phone, especially if the request is a result of a cold call. If you receive a call asking you for these details:

• tell the caller you will be reporting this incident to the authorities
• hang up and block the number from contacting you again
• take a note of the telephone number and report the incident to Action Fraud
• help spread the word on this scam
