Instead of putting me through to someone who pretends to be from HMRC to take payment for the "debt". Perhaps they have multiple scam messages and expect the scammed to report which one they are interested in being scammed by - a real slick operation.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
