I've just been sent following from my accountant ... thought it was worth letting others know ...
Dear Client | Colleague
A Number of my clients have recently been sent fraudulent E-mail purporting
to be from HMRC. I would advise you not to open, answer or reply to these
e-mails as they are fraudulent and an attempt to gain personal information
from you. HMRC do not send e-mails. HMRC would never e-mail you requesting
information or stating you have an over or underpayment and request your
bank details. HMRC would only write to you directly in these circumstances
or me as your advisor in the first instance.
Should you have any questions relating to your taxation affairs please refer
them to me.
Many thanks
