HMRC say they will never email you - if you get one of these, don't click the link, just forward the email to [email protected]

Anything addressed to "Dear Applicant" yet detailing exactly how much you are owed should be deleted. I wouldn't forward it on, there's nothing anyone can do about it.

It is spam and common sense is needed.

And you actually think someone will deal with it if you forward it? It will be deleted straight away but may make you feel better.

In this day and age, common sense is needed.

I go along with squarebear.....Simply savvy I say is sufficient to spoil a spoofer :-) ☺☺
