Well... that's a new con trick!

This has just turned up in my in-tray, headed "Tax Refund" (as the tax return deadline approaches)

<realistic HMRC logo shown here>

TAX REFUND CONFIRMATION

After the last annual calculations of your fiscal
activity we have determined that you are eligible to
receive a tax refund of 1,567.58 GBP

Please Click "Get started for refund"

Best Regards
HM Revenue & Customs

If I hover my cursor over the link I see that it's a 'tinyurl' link instead of a GOV site. Needless to say, I didn't click on the link.

Also I've just posted last year's tax return on-line and got a £43 rebate...

Just be careful out there, folks!

These were flying about this time last year, I got them on a regular basis. Just deleted them, just like I do with any e-mail that my hot mail account receives.
