Title: Tax rebate email from Inland Revenue!
Post by: Klean07 on January 09, 2013, 06:12:32 pm: I had an email before Chrimbo saying that I had been awarded a tax rebate of £144! I'm suspicious of this because they've never emailed me before?
Anyone else had one?

DO NOT GO ANY FURTHER!!!!!!

They will ask for your bank details or card details so that they can transfer the rebate! WELL KNOWN SCAM!!!

It's something I refuse to do, H.
But the missus set up a direct debit for me, to pay them every month.
Actually, I'm quite a bit in credit, the rebel that I am.

Post by: Linda - Payatrader on January 10, 2013, 10:11:49 am: We've had the same email to our general enquiries and press office email addresses - not even addressed to a person. I've been told not to open it in case it contains a virus.
