This telephone number 01223 613900
Is sending out voicemails purporting to be from HMRC and IT IS NOT THEM.
They will ask you to call the above number immediately or you will be contacted by their solicitors …. blah, blah, blah...….
The message ends with "take care" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, right 🙄👿
Whilst so many are anxious about HMRC grants being accessed, these criminals could be fooling the unsuspecting, so make a note of that number.
I posted this in 2 subsections purposely, not by accident 👍

Not just that number. There are multiple scammers running variations of the same scam who use various numbers and most of whom probably aren't even in the UK. They can choose what phone number they want to appear when they dial out so can even clone genuine numbers.
Never trust anyone who calls you looking for something (whether it be money or personal details) unless you were expecting their call and know what it's about.You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means - Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride1 -
It seems scum will jump on any crisis for their own ill gotten gains.0
