Some tax payers have been receiving scam e-mails from HMRC notifying them of a tax overpayment and requesting them to complete the on-line questionnaire. The e-mails are very official looking and well presented.
Please note: THESE ARE FICTITIOUS. DO NOT COMPLETE THE DOCUMENT ATTACHED TO THE E-MAIL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
Please forward the e-mail to:
phishing@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk
Once forwarded delete the e-mail.
HMRC current guidance is that they will never send e-mails requesting tax payer personal information.
