Have you received an unexpected and surprising phone call about an outstanding tax bill? HMRC will never ring up threatening arrest. Only criminals do that.

Always ask yourself - could it be fake? It’s ok to reject, refuse or ignore any requests. Only criminals will try to rush or panic you.

Taking a moment to stop and think before parting with your money or information could keep you safe.

If you have any suspicions, forward emails to [email protected] and
texts to 60599.

🚨Criminals are using COVID testing to target the public with fake text messages. Remember:

❌The NHS will NEVER ask for payment or any financial details.

✅Report suspicious text messages by forwarding them to 7726 (it's free of charge).
