Fake "HMRC" email scam reported
keyboard
Warnings over a new email scam aimed at taxpayers

A fake "HMRC" email scam is targeting taxpayers, claiming they are no longer eligible for tax returns and must click a link to fill in their details.

According to a post on the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales' website, the scam email features an HMRC logo, but comes from a non-official email address.

If you are unsure whether you have received a scam email, you can find further information and check a selection of known fake email addresses on HMRC's website.

Further information on how to protect yourself online can also be found on the HMRC website.

You can also forward suspicious emails to HMRC at phishing@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk, before deleting them.
