Just woke up to a text similar to the one you’re displaying above these people make you laugh hmrc doesn’t have my number and as I’m aware tax refunds were always sent through the post never have I had a genuine hmrc contact via mobile this scam could only work on those who don’t possess a brain
These scams really do work. That’s why they do it!
Got one of these this morning and was immediately suspicious so i checked the web links address and its got .ru as the country code…. Russian… Lol nice try..
When I see .ru I’m immediately suspicious! :)
A friend of mine completed this form but when it got to the online banking he stopped what should he do I informed him that this was fake he he is scared of identity theft ect
Sorry to hear that. Depending on what information he gave away it will be used to attempt fraud. Where he can he wants to set up alerts on his accounts. Also get educated. Do our courses which cover how to mitigate this in detail which is what you need.
