If you get a genuine one of these it will be through the mailbox of your front door, ask yourself how they would even know your email address?. I get a tax refund every year, you'd think they would get it right by now, but I'm happy to have it :)

HMRC always send letters and never send email. Deffo a scam no questions. If you use IE - hover on the links in the email and you'll see the web address for that link is some random site (don't click it obviously).

^ Firefox will do the same.

Also, why would HMR&C have that kinda email/domain? lol

Just ignore it. Don't reply otherwise you'll just get even more shat mailed to you.

Anyone else finding the scam emails are getting ridiculous of late? I get the tax ones from UK and USA. UPS ones about packages. DHL fecking Itunes has taken a payment of £4k+ follow this link etc etc etc.

It's getting to the point of it's only a matter of time before my dizzy bint wife panics and clicks the link on one of these fecking things. I only just stopped her on the Itunes one.

Sick to death of it myself TBH.
