A READER from Inveraray contacted the Advertiser to warn others after receiving a scam phone call on January 8.
The lady, a pensioner, said: ‘I had a phone call purporting to come from the income tax people saying they were taking me to court and to press ‘one’ on my phone to talk to my case manager.
At that point she dropped the phone by mistake, but it cut off the call, before calling Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), where she was told the call was a scam.
