'phishing' 

Real or fake?

Your Tax Details!

I often get asked by clients whether a text, email or phone call they have received is genuine - particularly where it promises that a tax refund is due.

HMRC have recently updated their guidance, with examples, of what to look out for if there is an attempt at 'phishing' for your financial information.

Currently, attempts may be linked to COVID-19 grants or to an alleged legal case that is in progress against you. You might even now receive a Whats App message.

If you receive anything that you are unsure about, feel free to contact me for a second opinion. Never follow the links or provide any personal information.

Check out the HMRC info here.
