Scam?
I reckon so.
Has anyone else received an email, from the 'government', instructing you how to claim back tax?

I'm wondering how they got my email address.

Very easy to harvest email address, and your right it is a scam, lots doing the rounds at the moment.

Hello rocker, thanks, I did think it was iffy cos of the incorrect spelling, and it was addressed to dear email address not to me by name.

I had one last week Sandi and another a few months ago.

Googled it before:-

Gareth Lloyd, head of digital security at HMRC, said: "HMRC never contacts customers who are due a tax refund via email - we always send a letter through the post. "If you receive an email claiming to be from HMRC which offers a tax rebate, please send it to phishing@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk and then delete it permanently.

It's definitely a scam. But if you have been told (not chosen) to work from home, it is possible to make a claim for any additional expenses- generally about £6 a week is the going rate (not a fortune, but some coffee...). Check out the HMRC site.

Had it too. It's certainly doing the rounds.

Anything I get offering me something or that I don't remember having dealings with are deleted straight away.

I'll go to the vender first or research if it's a scam by googling it. If I have any slight doubt.

We've all got to be careful here. After all they don't have to break into your house anymore. It's much easier these days, for the thieves to rob you virtually online 😠

Thanks for the info I C, I've already deleted it.

Gallowglass, the refund was for £500. That would buy an awful lot of tea, I don't drink coffee lol

Mick, I agree we do have to be careful. I still can't believe I was scammed TWICE! after using the internet for 20 years. I bought on line two separate items at different times and never saw either of them.
One scammer actually replied, apologising for the delay. Cocky devil lol

Sandi- good result then; I am just trying to imagine £500 worth of tea....No, no good. I'll just translate it into whisky- that I can imagine!

If you sign up for e-cops info about the latest scams is usually passed around along with things like spates of local garage/shed thefts, so that you remember to accidentally leave a blunt instrument/shotgun /large dog (delete as appropriate) by the back door.

Hi Sandi- if this goes on long enough it will be £1000 worth of tea. Or whisky. Or do we all just do a Cummings and ignore the whole Civid thing?

Thanks VStrom, I'll have a skeg at that.

Gallowglass, we'll (the UK) be lucky if we can afford to keep our shops open at all, never mind afford the goods to put in them

No!! Not ignore, there's too many folk already done that, and still are. That's why thousands have died and more still are and will.
