<h1>Fraudulent Emails from HMRC and the Childcare Voucher Schemes</h1><strong> Author: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/profile_taxing.aspx'>taxing</a></strong><br /><p>Please be aware of fraudulent emails purporting to be from HMRC. The fraudulent emails usually inform recipients that they are due a tax rebate and provide a click-through link to a replica of the HMRC website. These are not genuine HMRC messages and should be disregarded. It is part of a 'phishing' exercise that uses bogus e-mails and websites to trick taxpayers into supplying confidential or personal information. The 'phishing' emails are being sent from inside the UK and around the world. The emails often start with phrases which alert taxpayers to the fact that they are due a refund of tax. Phishing is one way that cyber criminals can use your details to create false bank accounts, tax accounts, loans and credit card applications. This is a growing problem for anyone using online reporting facilities and we all need to be vigilant. In a recent press release HMRC have stated that 'We currently only ever contact customers who are due a tax refund in writing by post. We don't use telephone calls, emails or external companies in these circumstances. If anyone receives an email claiming to be from HMRC, please send it to phishing@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk before deleting it permanently'.
