Hmrc .. Scam Or Not ..?
28 Answers
Just received this text ... the only way I have ever received a tax rebate is through a refund in my wages. They want to know your credit card details to give you your taax return.
Copying the link and searching on another device I get the rather genuine looking page to claim my rebate on.
My guess is it's a scam, what do you think ..?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The problem is even the brightest of us can be fooled by what appear to be genuine sites. When I bought my latest laptop a few months back I tried to log into my bank account. It would not accept my userid even though I knew it was correct. Instead it directed me to another page which said that their procedure had changed. I was to provide my social security number (which doesn't exist in this country as far as I am aware), my password and my PIN. It was the pin which gave the game away as I then realised I had landed on a dodgy website. What I had done, as it was a brand new computer so I didn't have a bookmark, was to google the bank. It looks as though rogue sites appear at the top of the list.
