Please be vigilant, We have recently become aware of a scam HMRC letter – whereby scammers are sending letters to employers stating they have not received payment for amounts owed, and to call on 0300 200 3819.
The letter looks extremely genuine, however the PAYE reference is fake. Upon investigation, the amounts requested were not due, and the bank details provided overleaf are not HMRC.
The phone number is very similar to a HMRC number since it starts with 0300 200 – but it is not a real HMRC number.
