Fake HMRC messages offering a tax refund — often a specific, believable figure — remain the UK's most reported scam, with well over 100,000 reports in the past year. The newer twist is AI voice-cloned phone calls impersonating HMRC officers, threatening arrest or a suspended National Insurance number. HMRC never tells you about a refund or penalty by text, email or WhatsApp. Forward scam texts to 60599 and emails to phishing@hmrc.gov.uk. Read the full guide →
Texts claiming a parcel couldn't be delivered and asking for a small redelivery or customs "fee" via a link continue to hit UK phones daily, impersonating Royal Mail, Evri, DPD and Amazon. The link leads to a cloned payment page that steals your card details. Royal Mail never asks for payment by text — genuine fees are collected on delivery or by official grey card.
