I was almost scammed today
Got a call at home from what was the Royal Court of Justice official number - looks like they've got very good cloners these days - saying I owed almost 3k in unpaid taxes. Immediately I was suspicious cuz my work history is such that its unlikely I underpaid, much more likely I overpaid. They told me that three auditor had a found incorrect and false statements on my tax form. More bull**** that wan rng true in my head cuz my employers always fill out my tax form. Then he got quite aggressive when I wanted more information and refused to give me the info I was asking for. He finally went over the top when he told me that he was going to freeze my bank accounts and it would be done within the next hour. Including credit cards and savings accounts I have over 25 different bank account I almost laughed when he said that but I was convinced enough to consult my work colleague who used to work or HMRC. My colleague confirmed it was a scam. HMRC can only request for your account to be frozen. They almost had me but they were just too pushy. I'm a bit disappointed that I was even convinced a little but I'm most disappointed I got off the phone before I could tell him to go f&&K himself
Anyone else had any issues with scammers?
