Spoof HMRC phone calls (Humberside Police)

Crime Prevention Advice

There have been increased reports of criminals spoofing genuine HMRC telephone numbers to deceive consumers over the phone. The criminals state that because of the victim's non-payment of tax or other duty, they are liable for prosecution or other legal proceedings. People are told that they can avoid this by arranging payment to be made immediately by methods such as bank transfer or by purchasing gift cards.

If the potential victim is hesitant or refuses to comply, the suspect makes a threat such as immediate arrest, sending bailiffs to their address or, in some cases, deportation.

Often, the period for which the tax is allegedly due is distant enough to guarantee the victim will have little, if any, paperwork, or ability to verify the claims. Once the money is paid the suspects sever all contact with the victim.

Act!

Always question unsolicited requests for your personal or financial information. Just because someone knows your basic details (such as your name and contact details), it doesn't mean they are genuine. Instead, contact the company directly using trusted methods such as known email address or phone number.

Legitimate organisations wouldn't ask you to pay taxes, bills or fees using a gift card, or any other type of voucher. If you're contacted by anyone that asks you to do this, you're the target of a scam.

Don't be rushed or pressured into deciding. Under no circumstances would a genuine bank or some other trusted organisation force you to make a financial transaction on the spot.

Report phishing scam attempts. If you receive a call, text or email of this nature and have not lost money, you can report this as phishing to Action Fraud.

Crime Prevention Advice

With COVID-19 restrictions being lifted throughout the UK, not only are we able to move more freely around our local communities, so can the criminals. The summer months are the peak months for doorstep crime so please be cautious when dealing with uninvited callers.

From bogus callers to rogue traders, doorstep criminals are cunning , creative, and convincing. Anyone can be fooled as these people are professional con artists.

Bogus callers try to get into your home and get personal details by pretending to be someone they're not. This can include council staff, charity collectors, meter readers and police officers. They are criminals trying to steal money and valuables.

Rogue traders usually cold call. they claim to be workers offering services, make repairs or carry out work on your property. They charge inflated prices for shoddy or work that isn't needed. They tell you the work needs to be done immediately. They will ask to be paid there and then. They may offer to go to the bank with you if you don't have the cash to hand.

Here are some tips on how to protect yourself:

- Keep front and back doors locked
- Fit a door chain or bar - use it and keep it on when talking to callers at the door
- If you're not sure, don't answer the door
- Don't feel embarrassed - genuine callers expect you to be careful
- Only let callers in if they have an appointment - confirm they are genuine
- Always ask for identification badges, but don't rely on them
- Identity cards can be faked - phone the company to verify their identity
- Never agree to pay for goods or give money to strangers who arrive at your door
- It's your home; there's no reason why anyone should ever enter against your wishes
- Purchase a video doorbell or CCTV equipment, these can act as a deterrent for criminals
- CCTV stickers and 'No Cold Calling' stickers also deter criminals

Report It!

If you are concerned that criminals are in your neighbourhood, call the police immediately on 999 if they are still in the area. If they are no longer in the area report it to the Police on 101
