Is this a scam?

[emmarocks]

Just had an email about a working from home tax rebate. They're asking for a lot of personal details. I did apply for it but just worried now it's a scam. What do you lot think?

100% scam.

It looks like a claim company. Did you do the tax rebate request through the official gov gateway website?

I would say definitely a scam.

Scam

Your image is too small to see (since the rubbish website update).
Just do it yourself through the .gov website. It's very easy

I can't see the picture properly,. but at best it's a company that will charge you £££ to do a job you can easily do yourself

It started during lockdown but was web based. Have they now stopped this?

What you have there looks like a scam - originally it was an official government website.

Looks like a scam - what was the email address they used? Sometimes they look legit but with some small typos etc.

Contact your banks etc immediately.

Nobody should ever ask you for your documents unsolicited. That should be a huge red flag.

That's a scam

Check the reviews on Trustpilot. And cancel it asap.

deffo not legit.

It doesn't have your name on it?

It just says "Dear"

And it asks for your account number and sort code? You didn't provide this did you?

Quick google and it's not a company that's going to sell your data, it's a company that takes your money from hmrc (any tax rebate you are due at all) and keeps half.
Be careful in case they make misleading claims to hmrc on your behalf as you will be the one paying back the tax due

Scam. Do it directly through hmrc on the .gov website.

scam

Definitely scam. Did you supply your actual bank details?

Looks like a company seeking to charge you for the rebate. Just do it yourself

Of course it's a scam. It hasn't even been spell-checked! FFS.

Did you give them all your details?

If yes please ring the fraud department at your bank now.

Any money HMRC owe you will be paid to them now. They're disgusting if you Google how they work.

Don't worry they don't have any of my details apart from my name and email. I just filled out a query form months and months ago. I'll do it through the government website instead. I don't think I'm owed much anyway!

Yep. Hope you didn’t give any personal information. If you did, call your bank, etc., now.

No I wouldn't ever give out bank details!

Sorry OP from your post I thought you meant you had sent all your details and then worried it was a scam on this occasion.

Have you read the trustpilot reviews yet? Unfortunately I think this will be a problem for you even if you haven't yet given them your bank details as hmrc will go ahead and give them your money anyway.
There is apparently a helpful Facebook group
