Just a heads up people, there is an email doing the rounds at the moment that is pretending to be from HMRC. It is sent from [email protected] and contains an attachment to claim a tax refund. I contacted HMRC before opening the attachment (suspicious because the grammar was not good) and they have confirmed that they never send out an email for a refund and that it is a scam. Details of some others here:

HMRC/ Gordons make money Government telling you that thay owe you money - smell a elephant size rat .

Take one thousad lines "UK Governments do not advertise that you are applicable for a refund of any tax",au contrair - they make it exceedingly difficult to find out if they owe you so much as Mcabers groat .
