Tax Return Email Scam

Here is a new spam that is circulating and very difficult to know it is spam. Please tell as many people about this as it’s a very clever one.

Note: It is titled: Please submit your payment refund or similar.

Note: you may find that the ‘£’ amount changes, this is a good indicator of spam.

Note: It also has an attached form called ‘Refund_Form.html’ which you shouldn’t even attempt to open
