A resident of Claxton has told us that earlier to day they had a call from 0203 322 9050.

A recorded message claimed to be from HM Revenue & Customs and stated that there is to be a lawsuit against the resident who should press 1 for their case officer.  Fortunately the resident in question is fairly savvy and declined to follow the instructions, instead looking up the number on the internet.  Their findings suggested that this was a very serious scam to obtain personal information.
