Be careful, a lot of emails from hmrc are fake and scammers are After your bank details!

scoobeenut

HaHa they just need your bank account details and sort code

pslewis

They needed my Bank Details to pay the money in ....... that's just business.

I found it a little odd that they wanted my Credit Card details and 3 numbers on the back to verify who I was - but, being the Government, it should be OK?

Ask this Q.. Where did the inland revenue get your email? I'd phone and ask them to confirm. If it is a scam they may want the email

pslewis

I suppose they got my e-mail from their database?

I fill in self assessments on-line, they have my email address from there, however my son has just received a cheque in the post. I would be looking at the headers of the email closely, but I would have thought they would be genuine IF you have communicated with them before via email, but if you haven't!!
