Automated Unclaimed Tax Refund Notification‏

alireid84

Hello everyone,

I received this morning an email claiming to be from HM Revenues and Customs (email address used no_reply@ir-efile.gov.uk).

the email states I am receiving this Notification because I am yet to claim my tax refund which has accrued up to 239.41 GBP.

It wants me to click on a link but I'm reluctant too as I think it's a virus but I just wondered if anyone else has received this type of email before and if it's genuine? For several months I was being paid under the wrong tax code this year so I could well be due money and it sounds very tempting!

Any advise would be great.

Typing that link into Google shows it to be a con. Likley will want you to fill in an online form with your bank details so they can pay you it. No thanks.

IT IS A SCAM.....HMRC actually request that the emails are forwarded to their phishing department.
