Guys, today I got an email from what looked like it came from HM Revenue & Customs telling me I was due a tax rebate of 188 pounds. They included an online rebate form here:

I have been in touch with the Tax office and they inform me that this is NOT an HMR&C form, when you fill it out it asks for your Mastercard details. HMR&C do not ask these questions, if you are due a rebate they give youi a cheque or you get a BACS payment.

Just so's you guys are aware I thought I'd let you know

Yeah, sorry spaced mate, it's been a mad day (more later).

I'm not sure, I've only had a quick look, I'll give it more attention later.
I clicked on the link and my screen tells me in BIG letters it is a forgery.

Good for you for having the sense to check it out
GS is this thread supposed to be a joke? Did you seiously have to phone them? lol
Hi John,
We were alerted at work today that this scam is going on.
Hope everyone bins it if they receive emails with any of the content that John has copied.
Do not give out details.
Would anyone be stupid enough to give them credit card details fior a tax rebate?Surely a rabid monkey could see thats a scam?






DTH?
