Voluntary Action Rotherham

Taxpayers should NOT respond to any email promising a tax repayment HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has warned.

Fraudsters are sending out thousands of emails in the run up to the 31 January tax deadline. The email tells the recipient they are due a tax refund and directs them to an online form to provide bank or credit card details for the 'rebate' to be paid into. Anyone providing details would have their accounts emptied and credit cards used to their limit.

The vicitim also risks having their personal details sold on to other organised criminal gangs.
