The Taxman Owes Me Money!!!
 

Got a lovely e-mail from the HMRC today - they owe me £898:37!!!

It will be in my Bank Account within 5 days!!

Brilliant - just in time for Xmas!!

:thumb:

loser ;)

Wooooo

Get one of these http://www.activemobility.co.uk/pans...nal-p-200.html They are vat free so you won't have to pay 25%

Eligible for VAT Relief .... no need to worry :lol1:

thats weird,thats the exact same amount i lent you ages ago but you never paid it back,i will see you in 5 days buddy :D:D:D:D:D

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

HaHa they just need your bank account details and sort code :lol1:

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?

i always thought they wrote to you not via e-mail? when ever my mrs has had money paid back to her they have always wrote to her

Funny the taxman refunded me as well, £50.86! And they sent me a cheque....

yawn, no one is remotely interested

So, you skipped by the thread? :lol:

Inland revenue send everything via post. Email?? sounds scammy to me.

A member of the Swaziland Royal Family wants to give me a million squid!!!!! :)

I suppose they have embraced the modern way now?

How many do you think you'll catch, Pete? ;)

Were your mummy and daddy obsessed by money or is it just you?

Yes the Somalian inland revenue use email

Just me!!!!

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

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!!
