Yet another SCAM E-Mail.


Dear Applicant:

You have received a tax refund payment of 632.25GBP
from HMRC (HM Revenue & Customs) into your Internet
Banking Account.

They just want your bank details . :rolleyes:

Anyone with an ounce of common sense would first contact their bank and ask them to confirm the payment.

No payment received? Immediately contact the fraud office.

These scammers work on the basis that there's one born every minute.
 
"Anyone with an ounce of sense would know it was a scam"

I hope you are right, we will have to wait for the newspapers to headline how many have been caught out.

I now have had more of these refunds offered by e-mail than I have paid in tax . :mrgreen:

Mostly they come from a PC that has been infected with mal-ware without the innocent owner realising it is being used to send scam e-mails.

Reporting these scam e-mails to the HMRC fraud department does have some effect.

For scams using the HMRC name the address to forward them to is

[email protected]

Include the full header as well as this then helps to identify, shut down and possibly prosecute the actual scammer.
