Hi everyone,
be aware that there appears to be an new e-mail scam that says it is from the Income Tax saying you have a refund due (£473.27)
According to the HRMC site they never notify you by e-mail. It looks very official but please do not click to open the "Tax Form" - who knows what it would do to your computer or private info.
David.

I had one a few weeks ago, strange thing is I did get a refund about a year ago, for about the same amount they were saying I was owed, but I still deleted. It is a scam.
