HMRC warning – Do not get caught out by fraudsters.
AccountancyThe HMRC has issued another warning regarding phishing emails, the second since the end of January 2010.
For many people who filed their tax return at the end of last month this is the time they would expect to be contacted by the HMRC regarding a tax refund. Fraudsters are sending out phishing emails, allegedly from the HMRC asking for personal information such as bank details or their HMRC log-on details.
Please do not respond to direct email communication which appears to be from the HMRC, as they do not contact clients in this way.
If you have any questions please call us free on 0800 093 9433.
