Expert Opinion

It’s striking how often this number masquerades as the Inland Revenue Department, deploying pre‑recorded threats about tax fraud or court action. Victims consistently report silent hangs, aggressive voicemail scripts, and repeated hang‑ups when they try to verify the caller. The pattern points to a classic impersonation scam that leverages fear to force a callback. If you receive a call from +6499749581, do not return the call; instead hang up, verify any tax matters directly with the official IRD contact numbers, and consider reporting the incident to local consumer protection agencies. Blocking the number can also reduce future nuisance.
