Tax Rebate

Good Morning,
I had a friend call round yesterday saying he had put in for a tax rebate some months ago with a agent who advertised.
My friend got a phone call of this (agent/accountant)saying his tax had been sorted out?This agent/accountant said he would send him a cheque out in the post,the amount the agent/accountant told him was £3,857.
The day after saturday my friend got a letter from the Inland Revenue saying they had sent a payment of £12,947 to the agent/accountant.
Now im no accountant but this amount which the agent/accountant is charging my friend seems to me to be way over the top.
All in all this means the agent/accountant is keeping £9,090 for his services.
Does anybody know of any contact numbers my friend can call to see if this is legal.
Thanking You In Adavance

Get him to ring the revenue using a number from hmrc's website not the one on any letter to see if he was due a refund of any kind & more importantly if they issued a cheque to this agent. Smells of a scam to me. If he was & they have, he must have signed something to allow this to happen. approx 60% as fees seems extremely high.0
