Got this today, which is a not so obvious phishing email to some. So I thought I would put it up. A variation on this went around a while back, but was aimed at the USA. This is aimed at us.

Cheers for the heads up. I would have probably clicked on it, as I have been enquiring about my tax recently.

Just because you don't know alot about something that you use dosen't mean that you get whats coming to you when your scamed. Education is the key to beating these horrible Phishing emails.

We got one of these today. They are pretty clever playing on our natural fear of all matters relating to our friends at the revenue. They are bound to catch plenty out.

Well posted Dar - rep on its way:thumb:
