    SCAM HMRC LETTER - WARNING | David Beckman & Co Ltd

    Only revealed by checking the number...

    I take it the companies registered address is where the letter went to?

    It was sent to the trading address (HMRC have previously sent mail here too).
    It wasn't sent to the Registered Office - which is my accountant

      "Specified charges" is HMRC PAYE speak for "guesses".

        So are the payroll details on the letter correct or does it differ?

        You options here are to find an hmrc number (not the one on the letter and ring it, that used to be easy when they used local physical
        offices) or something similar. The issue is something really doesn't add up here and so it's the question of is this a scam or is it a screw up (that seems unlikely given that the agency doesn't have your old details).

          It's the correct Payroll Reference

                If you do want to speak to HMRC start at 0300 200 3200 (HMRC Employer helpline) - for things like this (which is either a scam or a screw up by them) they really won't bite.

                  How did the scammers get the right payroll reference though? Is that published somewhere?

                    Looking at the letter it appears payroll for these periods was not submitted by your accountant and PAYE scheme is still active. I would just forward this letter to the accountant and ask them to do the submission and close the scheme.

                      Thanks Eek for all your help in this.

                      I've already got a phone call booked with my old-accountant this afternoon. I'll see what they say about any checks they've done / experiences they've had with this.
