Tax refund scam - WARNING
The tax refund scam is doing the rounds yet again so be careful! :rolleyes:
If you receive an email saying you have a tax refund due it is highly likely to be a scam, do NOT click any of the links or enter any passwords or codes.
They usually come from an email address like this:
etaxrefunds @hmrc .gov.uk (I've put spaces in to stop it being a clickable link)
I was allegedly due a refund of £900 this morning - if only!! :D
They appear every year about this time as people start sending in their tax returns.
Be warned!

i got excited for about 2 seconds when i got it, then came to my senses and deleted it! i wish! on maternity leave right now and dislike being skint, a couple of hundred quid would come in very handy, but alas, it isn't to be :p

Thanks Pauline :thumbsup:
Re: Tax refund scam - WARNING
Thanks I have had a few of these and luckily I did delete without opening them
Re: Tax refund scam - WARNING
I got a refund but it told me when I did my self assessment that I was due it (knew it was coming :thumbsup: :rolleyes: ) and just waited for the credit in my bank account :)
if something seems to good to be true then generally it is!!
