Sneaky advertising
Sneaky advertising. Found the number when I googled HMRC helpline and failed to notice that it wasn't actually HMRC at all. They picked up the phone immediately (which should have been a red flag) and took my details so that someone could call me back. When I queried this, the 'receptionist' insisted that they were an 'overflow service' for HMRC. Dishonest. As soon as I realised my mistake, I called them back to ask them to delete my details and was told (by a different person) that he would 'pass on my request' because he couldn't do it himself.
