We have been advised that a number of people have received emails purporting to come from HMRC advising on refunds of tax. They look official and have the correct logo and a very convincing website address. However clicking on the link can either entice you to give sensitive information or, as in one case, cause severe damage to your computer.
HMRC will never contact you directly via email about tax matters.
For further information visit HMRC website http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/security/spoofs.htm or, if you receive any such email which you consider might be genuine, please telephone your usual Ensors contact to enable us to make enquiries on your behalf.
