01147001598 HMRC Scam Calls and Voicemails

I got a voicemail from telephone number 01147001598 where the caller with an American female voice stated it is the HMRC and it was serious. The voicemail further stated that if I didn't call 0114-700-1598 I must get a solicitor and then claimed I have been warned. I reported the scam call to phishing@hmrc.gov.uk. A few hours after, I received another voicemail from the same number, which claims I need to ring them back in order to avoid legal actions taken against me and I should contact Richard Grey.
