Oh dear, there is an arrest warrant with my name on it

[silverfoxcc]

Had a call, well a recorded message from the HMRC ( Yeah Right) telling me i owe them money and if i dont press '1' an warrant will be issued for my immediate arrest.

Well thats two i have against me now as i didn't bother with the last call they made. I really am tempted to press 1 the next time and tell them i am still waiting for them to call

The number shown was 03002003857

Perhaps when you call back you'll reach the charming chap in the video accompanying this article.

I had one a couple of weeks back on my home phone telling me a warrant had already been issued and I should press 1 to speak to my case worker. Presumably, thought I, had there really been a warrant issued then the first I'd know about it would be plod calling in person rather than HMRC calling with a recorded message.

Needless to say I am still on the run. You'll never take me alive copper!

Pro tip - if you ever get through to an Indian scammer, give your surname as Benchod or Madarchod. They will definitely appreciate it.

I had the very same call yesterday left on my voicemail. Knew that claiming for an alcoholic drink on my expenses would come back to bite me.

I'm going to snitch on all of you lot when they come to arrest me though.

I'm too busy quaking in my boots about being filmed via my webcam visiting dodgy sites. Luckily I paid the ransom money so the lovely man will delete the video he has of me.

I've had this call once a week, usually mondays. for the past 2 weeks. I've never picked up. i always google the phone number first, did this on monday. within an hour there was at least 20 or so comments about it being a fraud HMRC thing.

i generally dont pick up witheld or 0300 numbers.

By pressing 1, you're not going to be connected to a very premium rate call are you?

For a bleeding heart liberal this is a tough gig

On the one hand I loath having my privacy invaded by scammers, on the other the call centre people are just the small fry at the end of the line who probably dont deserve being told that they sound nice and would they like to know that Ive just taken my clothes off - top tip, male callers seem to take his a lot less well than female ones....

Anyway, to save my conscience I now keep a whistle next to the charging point for house and mobiles and just give them what for when they call for a chat once or twice a month

Cheers
