HMRC Email Scam

HMRC have issued a warning to taxpayers about an email scam which is a ‘phishing exercise’ that uses bogus emails and websites to trick people into supplying confidential or personal information.

The email asks taxpayers to complete a form with their bank details, on the understanding that they will receive a large repayment of tax direct to their bank account. The message and the promised tax rebate from ‘HMRC Premier Services’ are not legitimate.

HMRC also provide a link to advice on online protection.
