Might be an "Oldie," but a Friend has just shared a Photo on Facebook, of an HMRC Scam. It reads

"Dear Applicant,

you have received a tax refund payment of 632.25GBP from HMRC (HM Revenue & Customs) into your Internet Banking Account.

Please accept the tax refund request. The money will appear in your Internet Banking Account within 6-12 days. A refund can be delayed for a variety of reasons. For example submitting invalid records or applying after the deadline.

Please click on sign in (Hyperlink) to Online Banking to accept your incoming funds
Best Regards

HM Revenue & Customs"

There is a Directgov image at the bottom, and two other Hyperlinks - Crown Copyright and Terms & Conditions (Not that T & C would be a cause for concern).

I get at least one of these every week; I should be worth a fortune by now, but no, deleted straight away. (And why would British HMRC write 632.25GBP, what's wrong with £632.25?)
