Beware of Email Fraud
Clients should be aware of the following scams that look as if they’ve been sent by HMRC.
HMRC have received reports of emails being sent asking clients to 'update your account to the new EV SSL certification'. This is a scam email attempting to steal User IDs and passwords.
The email is being sent from Onlineservices@HMRevenueCustoms.org
The advice to taxpayers who think they have received a fraudulent email is to not follow any links within the email, disclose any details or respond to it.
HMRC are aware of a large number of emails being sent offering taxpayers a tax rebate. They advise that HMRC would not inform customers of a tax rebate via email or invite them to complete an online form to receive a rebate of tax. They also advise that recipients should not visit the website contained within the email or disclose any personal or payment information.
