Is this a scam? Got a call with a voice message saying

[Shoot4theMoon]

I got a call from 01330 566189 which says Scotland, it says on the voice messsge it’s from her majesty’s revenue and customs and a letter was sent to me but sent back, I’m about to I think it said “have a lot of bad things done to me” and to press 1 to speak to an officer. I hung up as iv read about these scams and when you press 1 your changed significant amounts of money. Tried to Google the number and google can’t find it….. any ideas anyone?

Scam. Since when would HMRC threaten to “do a lot of bad things to you”?

Block and ignore

That screams scam to me.
Never press 1. Ever.

Why would you think this is real

You can report this.

Definite scam. If you owe HMRC money, they don't contact you by phone. Do they even have your number?

That didn't work but it's on here, scroll to 'online'

Sounds like exactly the kind of thing HMRC would threaten you with to me.

Yep scam ... I've had these calls a few times

Delete. Scam.

HMRC will always send a letter and never call you.
If you are worried you do owe money to HMRC, Google the official number and call them but these voicemails/calls are 100% a scam.

Sounds like exactly the kind of thing HMRC would threaten you with to me.
HMRC don't phone people, and they certainly don't leave threatening messages. They would never say they would do a lot of bad things. They would write if someone had unpaid tax, and mention a fine if applicable. It's obviously a scam

Definitely a scam

The government will never ever chase you by phone. They don’t have the time, the staff or the inclination.

I was being sarcastic

Numbers with 330 in the area code can be calls made using Microsoft Teams I believe so that might be why you can't find it on Google.

It's His Majesty's Revenue & Customs now. Out of all the things we get wrong we get that bit right (unless it's on an envelope) 🙂

HMRC have sent out a warrent for my arrest at least 3 times in the past 5 years.
I'm still out at large, paying my taxes, with an up to date address and enhanced DBS check after the first call.
Pretty sure they could have found me by now!

That’s not true at all. If you actually owe tax for whatever reason, they will call you and try to arrange payment/ a payment plan. They will call every 3 months or so to see if your circumstances have changed and you can pay any more/clear your existing debt.

Never in a threatening way though

Thanks @LadyLaLaa I have reported it

Try the WhoCalledMe UK service, which allows you to check numbers and report scams. I’d lay money that if you log the number that purported to be from HMRC they would already have it listed as a scam.
