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.

The good tips additionally worked to be a fantastic way to understand that the rest have the same dreams the same as my personal own to know the truth significantly more when it comes to this matter. I'm sure there are a lot more pleasant occasions up front for those who browse through your blog.
