Email from HMRC

[mumsanutter]

I have received today (bank holiday monday!!) an email from the HMRC saying that I have been given a refund and that I should click on a pdf document to fill in some information and then submit this.

Now I am questioning this, and am going to ring my accountant tomorrow, but was wondering if anyone had experienced the same?

they don't contact you by email

it's phishing

ignore

HMM- I wouldn't trust this....

unless you have applied for a rebate and requested response by email of couse

Agree wi Frankly

I haven't contacted them in any way - i tend to leave all that up to my accountant!

Thanks for the replies

Dont reply to it I have had loads of emails from banks asking me to verify my account details as their has been a security error, had 5 different banks in a week, not one that I actually use though. HMRC don't send e-mails they send refunds in a letter and only if you have requested one.

I get the bank ones as well but from the HMRC had me stumpted!! I even get them from banks I don't bank with and from ebay, paypal etc

NEVER click on links in unsolicited emails!

There are 2 emails doing the rounds from HMRC they are both fake do not click on the links.
