  • Email scam - HMRC - Beware!

    Just a quick heads up, it maybe old news but wanted to post in case it's been missed.
    If anybody receives an email claiming to be HMRC that is not addressed personally to you by name its most likely dodgy. And the link will also ask you for personal details which is also very dodgy.
    I received the following message:-

    Form 9288 No. 2773-7821
    (Rev. October 2009)
    Department of the Treasury
    HM Revenue & Customs
    United Kingdom

    Tax return for individuals
    2008 - 2009 Recalculation of your tax refund



    Dear Applicant,

    On October 2009, after calculation of your fiscal activity, you are eligible to receive a tax refund of 762,81 GBP.
    Your tax file number (TFN) is: 731948115 (See the tax privacy note in the Taxpayer's declaration on page 8 of your tax refund).

    Notify: We have attached attached to this confidential message the tax refund "FORM 9288".
    The tax refund form is valid only 24 hours from the date of sending, for security reasons.

    Please complete the individual tax refund 2009 and allow us 5-9 business days in order to process it.

    Sincerely,

    Beware these scammers!!!
    Why do we pay others to do a job we did ourselves?

    Ever paid for conveyancing?
