    I even had one from David Cameron recently
    If it was scamming you, it was probably genuine.

    I had the spoof e-mail also with the same amount, was looking all over the HMRC website for an e-mail to forward it on to but couldn't find one so thank you op for providing it.

    HMRC never communicate with emails, they have started texting recently but as mentioned above if your ever unsure of a communication give them a call and they can confirm if its genuine or not.

    WOW what a coincidence, I've also had an email and the HMRC owe me that exact same amount, and my husband too, what are the chances of that? :rotfl:

    Thanks for the link emails have now been reported.
