I received my first HMRC phishing email the other day which coincidently came just after I’d been in contact with the HRMC and given them my details online. Reading through the blogsphere it seems many thousands have been targeted with the scam lately.
The email I received was informing me I was due a tax rebate from the previous year and came from service@HMRC.gov.uk. Hotmail alerted me the attached form which I was asked to complete was infected with a virus.
It was an email I so wanted to believe, a tax rebate just before Christmas, perfect! Ha!
