HMRC Scam

Ian Shewan has informed us that his "NEOS specific" email address has been targeted by a phishing scam sent out by what looks like an HMRC tax refund. It is of course a scam and you should not follow / give your credit card details to anyone.

It is noteworthy that the email / web address they use is not the official : http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/ but uses a ".co.uk" on the end.

I (Phil Thompson) am currently reporting this issue to the HMRC and I hope that something can be done to catch the Phishing culprit.

Please pass this information on to anyone you think might be affected by this type of email scam.
