Today I logged into my e-mail account and was surprised to find the following e-mail:
As far as I knew my business was dormant and therefore I assumed that either something had gone wrong or that I was about to be the victim of a scam. A quick google brought up the HM Revenue & Customs real website which clearly states that:
"HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) will never send notifications of a tax rebate by email, or ask you to disclose personal or payment information by email.
Do not visit the website contained within the email or disclose any personal or payment information.
A selection of fake email addresses used to distribute the tax rebate emails can be seen below:
- services@hmrc.co.uk
- service@hmrc.gov.uk
- service.refund@hmrc.gov
- secure@hmrc.co.uk
- hmrc@gov.uk
- taxes@hmrc.co.uk
- taxrefund-notice@hmrc.gov.uk
- refund-help@hmrc.gov.uk
- service@online.com
