Title: Tax Rebate warning
Post by: Banjax on 29 April 2011, 22:51:11
don't know if this is related to Playstation info hack or some other scam, but please read this - I got an email which seemed genuine (from a .gov.uk address but its a phishing scam - the only thing that alerted me was the "Kind regards" at the bottom of the document)  :o

i've forwarded the email to the tax office and deleted it  :y


they dont request info for tax rebates by email.....d'uh - i thought they might be saving money  ;D
