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 wish to express my thanks to you for rescuing me from this particular predicament. Just after exploring throughout the online world and finding advice which are not beneficial, I assumed my entire life was well over. Being alive without the presence of approaches to the difficulties you have solved by way of your report is a critical case, and those that might have adversely damaged my career if I had not encountered the blog. The skills and kindness in touching a lot of things was invaluable. I'm not sure what I would have done if I had not encountered such a thing like this. I am able to at this moment look forward to my future. Thanks for your time very much for your impressive and effective guide. I will not be reluctant to recommend your site to any individual who needs direction on this area.
