Watch out for HMRC Scams
It could be a scam if it:
1. is unexpected, 2. offers a refund, tax rebate or grant, 3. asks for personal information like bank details, 4. is threatening, 5. tells you to transfer money
You can be sure that HMRC will:
1. only ever call you asking about a claim or payment on a debt that you already know about, 2. never leave a voicemail threatening legal action, 3. never give the reason for a call on a voice message
If you receive any communication through WhatsApp claiming to be from HMRC it’s a scam.

I must express thanks to the writer for rescuing me from this particular difficulty. Right after searching throughout the world-wide-web and seeing ideas that were not pleasant, I was thinking my life was done. Existing without the presence of answers to the issues you have sorted out all through your entire website is a crucial case, as well as ones that might have badly damaged my entire career if I hadn't discovered your web page. That ability and kindness in playing with everything was important. I'm not sure what I would've done if I had not come across such a solution like this. I am able to now look forward to my future. Thanks for your time very much for this skilled and result oriented help. I won't be reluctant to recommend the blog to anybody who would like counselling about this issue.
