Have you ever been hit by scammers?

An elderly neighbour of mine told me about a call he had from fraudsters threatening him with arrest if he didn't pay thousands in tax. Fortunately, he was savvy enough not to fall for this scam after speaking to his son. HMRC (UK Revenue & Customs) would only call you on a debt you are already aware of, but the poor guy was very shaken up by it.

I recently had a phone call similar to that one, saying I "was under arrest" and kept saying they "were coming to get me". I listened to maybe five minutes without comment, then hung up. Don't fall for this!
