Tax letter received, help please.

thom23

I've just received an email from Inland revenue (!?) asking for bank details so they can send me my tax rebate!!!!!!! I'm presuming this is a scam?! They say in the email that phone lines are too busy for me to phone (convenient). If this is, as I presume it is, a scam, there should be a public alert or has there been and I've missed it!

Try searching for this item on E-bay 270637324991 . It should help. As far as I can tell you are probably in a good position as thay will only take a small amount each week sread over 24 months. But the guide explains it all in detail and has the templates of the letters you need to send.

Reported for spam.

I strongly discourage anyone from purchasing template letters from someone who cannot take the time to run a spell checker through their advertisement.

If their letters are of the same "quality", they will have very little impact if any at all.

I received a letter saying i owed several hundred pounds tax, As i had not been in work for 2 years i thought it
strange. Phoned them and had to explain several times my income was less than my tax limit so why would
i owe them any tax.
The guy on the phone did not understand until i went through it several times step by step, My only taxable
income was IB, That was less than my tax allowance so the tax bill is for???

Eventually he went ahh yeah, I never received anymore letters after that.
