Have you recieved an email from HMRC about a refund of tax?
HMRC has issued a warning over fraudulent emails, as reports of phishing emails have risen by 300 per cent in the last year.
The emails, which claim to be from HMRC, encourage the recipient to click through to a replica of the HMRC website. The website then asks for their credit card or debit card details, enabling the criminals to access their accounts.
Almost 24,000 of these emails were reported to HMRC in August, an increase of 300 per cent compared to the same month last year. As a result, HMRC is currently helping to get around 100 scam websites shut down each month.
If you have recieved one of these emails please delete them asap. HMRC never communicate via emails with regards to refunds.
Alternatively get in touch with me and I will let contact HMRC for you
Have a great weekend
