TAX OFFICE ‘SCAM’

PLEASE BE ON YOUR GUARD

One of our Town Councillors recently received a telephone call from a person purporting to be from the Tax Office (HM Revenue and Customs) claiming that they owed a large amount of unpaid tax and that having ignored letters a warrant had been issued for their arrest.

THIS WAS A SCAM

Please be on your guard for such calls,

DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION 

and if you do receive such calls

IMMEDIATELY TELEPHONE THE TAX OFFICE ON 0300 200 3300

HM Revenue and Customs will not telephone you they will always write to you.

Thank you.
