Scam National Insurance phone calls

This week a member of the NN team have received multiple automated calls informing them that their National Insurance account will be suspended. This then went on to request you press a number for further information. When issued the warning after automated messages told people “failure to appear at the Magistrates Court will result in the suspension of your National Insurance Number.”

Please do not telephone the number provided, or provide anyone with your personal details, including your bank or credit card information.

If you receive any of these calls and to assist HMRC in their investigations you should report full details of the scam by email to: phishing@hmrc.gov.uk, including the:
