Tax Refund by email?
I've just had an email purporting to be from HMRC telling me that I'm eligible for a tax refund, and that I should follow the link & procedure to claim it
At first I thought Oh Goodo! but then had my doubts
All previous correspondence with HMRC, including refunds, has been by post
Usually I haven't needed to claim a refund, it just turns up in the form of a cheque. I've sent them all my details, including bank account several times in the past, by post, so they know all about me. So why don't they just send the money?
Come to think about it, I don't recall their ever asking for my email address
I haven't followed or opened the link, but I suspect that if I do they will want various details, including my bank account
Has anyone heard of this?
Is it another scam?
