Warning over tax return deadline e-mail 'phishing' scam
Found on BBC News on Saturday, 30 January 2010
Tens of thousands of fraudulent e-mails have been sent out ahead of Sunday's tax return deadline, officials say.
HMRC is expecting a massive upsurge in such correspondence following the 31 January deadline when many people will be waiting to hear about genuine tax refunds.
Ok, here and there people fall for all sorts of scam, no secret. But seriously, the thought of getting a tax return should tip you off like nothing else. It's more likely to get a few millions from some former Nigerian president who had to flee.
