This is the way they accomplish it over the internet. I received this email this morning...It looks kosher... I am vigilant with any emails but looking at the header and the email addy it really looked 'real'. (I knew it wasn't) Upon checking, this is a sophisticated method of obtaining information....It takes the 'curious' to a site that will gather your information without you knowing it. NEVER ever click on anything in emails, no matter how real they look, unless you have initiated the email request. The likelihood of them entering a private site randomly is very small....they use THESE methods to get their information...

Several readers have contacted Timesonline this week after receiving the messages, which claims personal details such as date of birth and credit card numbers have to be revealed before the money can be repaid. One reader described it as "extremely realistic." It begins: "Dear Applicant. After the last annual calculation of your fiscal activity we have determined that you are eligible to receive a tax refund of ...." <!-- BEGIN: POLL --><!--This block will execute if an article of type Poll is attached--><!-- END : POLL --><!-- BEGIN: DEBATE--><!-- END: DEBATE--> <!-- END: Module - M63 - Article Related Attachements --> A spokesman for the Revenue said: "HMRC would not inform customers of a tax rebate via email, or invite them to complete an online form to receive a rebate of tax. Do not visit the website contained within the email or disclose any personal or payment information." The fraudulent email is the latest in a series of scam messages that have been sent out claiming to be from HMRC. Another email doing the rounds is one that claims that HMRC has approved the recipient to receive money. Email addresses used to distribute the fraudulent emails include: hmrc@hmrc.taxe-refund.com.uk successful@gov.uk customer.office@hmrc.customsoffice.gov.uk tax-service@hmrc.customs.gov.uk notify2@hrms.co.uk refundtax@hmrc.gov.co.uk TaxRefund@hmrc.gov.uk service@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk claims@hmrc.direct.gov.uk notice@hmrc.gov.uk hmrc@hmrc.gov.uk admin@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk info@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk no-reply@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk refund@hmrc.gov.uk Refound@hmrc.gov.uk IRS@hmrc.gov.uk services@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk service@HMRC.co.uk
