A number of readers have reported receiving calls from a well spoken woman claiming to be an HMRC tax official who intended to make a claim against me and instructed to press number one for further information. Some did not did not do that but pressed 1471 and was given the following number: 02678 951247.

HMRC do not ring to talk to anyone about their tax, so disregard the calls.

You can call HMRC to report this scam on 0300 1232040.
