  • RE: Fraud pretended to be my employer

    Good evening, I today received an email from HMRC informing me that my tax code has been updated due to new employment. When I logged in to my PAYE account I found this was a company I have never heard of never mind worked for. I contacted HMRC in tears as I did not want this to affect my next wage from my actual full time job. I was at first passed blindly from one team to another who seemed to inform me that, despite me reconfirming this address on multiple phone calls within the last 60 days with HMRC, my address was incorrect and that they would refer this to their investigations team but this would certainly not have any negative impact on me. I am extremely worried as this seems to be happening frequently and I have no idea when this issue will be corrected for myself. I hope anyone else in this situation has received support and been able to have the matter resolved.
