HM Revenue and Customs email - dodgy

[JT]

apologies if this has been done, I've not been around for a while!

Got an email telling me I was due a tax rebate (hmmmm)
that Ihad 48 hours to claim it (double hmmm)
clicked link and it said
claim your repayment by credit card and invited me to insert my credit card details

they'll have to get up earlier than that!

watch out!

Only now you've clicked the link they know your email address is active...

yes and what does that mean?

only that you'll just get more of this sort of spam...

have a look at this website for some hilarious stories of revenge taken against these fuckwits criminals

JT, this stuff is sent out randomly to all sorts of made up email addresses - they just guess that some of it will hit real accounts. If you respond, they know your address works and you'll get loads more spam/fraudulent emails. So best advice is just to delete the emails.
