Husband took the automated call said it was HMRC and that they were taking him to court for fraud. He was told to press one but nobody answered. Is this a premium rate scam
Message states as from HMRC threatening court action its not genuine HMRC would contact via letter or recorded letter
Wife received automated call saying it was HMRC and that we are being taken to court re outstanding law suit. Call was terminated at this point by us as HMRC would communicate everything in writing. This is an attempted fraud / scam / hoax call. Tried calling number back after terminating call and receive an automated voicemail similar to BT 1571 service.

| 9177750325 | Some stupid woman from New York will not stop phoning me. She asks for someone whose name is close to "Monica". I answered her call once and told her she has the wrong number and to never phone again, but she just keeps phoning. Have her blocked but 3 different numbers like this continue to phone me and leave blank voicemails that sound like a call centre in the background. |

| 01639326894 | A guy rang and said he wanted to speak to (me), and he also said the name of the Company, but very indistinctly, so I said "who did you say was calling", to which he replied "You Claim for Me". In return I said to him, "what on earth would you be claiming for me?" to which he replied "You have a good evening then" and then ended his call! I've never heard of "You Claim for Me" before, but whoever they are you can bet your bottom dollar that there's going to be more money in it for them than there ever would be for whoever they contact! |

| 07031983789 | We have been alerted by a number of new and approved suppliers that unfortunately a fraudster is requesting quotations (see example below) with the intention to order goods using the e-mail addresses v.m.john@gre-edu.co.uk, and v.m.john@netscape.com, and in some instances quoting the University’s Barclays Account details to support his authenticity; the fraudster is requesting that he is contacted using the Mobile number +44 (7) 0319 83789, or +44 (7) 0240 89890, both of which happen to be high Premium lines and could prove very costly to the caller. Some suppliers have confirmed that the scammer has also targeted other Universities over the last few weeks. We have therefore taken the following steps: - Informed all suppliers on the University’s In-Tend database of the scam to avoid or at least minimise the possibility of goods being supplied to the fraudster. - Communicated with Tucows domain managers, whose Legal Officer is dealing with the e e-mail addresses which were set up in Fortworth, Texas, USA; - Trace the scammer’s delivery address as a fictitious “Greenwich London Division Centre” in London E6 or Greenwich Surrey Division Centre, Access House, 141 Morden Road, Mitchum, Surrey CR4 4DG; - Provided to the Metropolitan Police Action Fraud squad with details of the scam. You are strongly advised as follows: - Do NOT process any documents, particularly requests for quotes or invoices containing the addresses v.m.john@gre-edu.co.uk and v.m.john@netscape.com or any similar suspicious e-mails; - Do NOT call any of the above premium mobile numbers; - Only accept Purchase Orders for goods, service and works requirements via the University’s Parabilis e-Procurement system; and - Forward all communications regarding the above or any other scam to procurement-team@gre.ac.uk. If you have not already done so, which I will provide to the Police Action Fraud squad; - Forward this e-mail to your trade association or Chamber of Commerce requesting that they inform their members of the fraudulent practice. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused by the fraudster. Kind regards. |
