Please see the scam warning below, can you share with your customers and service users as appropriate.
“As it’s the end of the tax year please be aware that scammers are trying to cash in by pretending to be the HMRC offering us refunds on our tax bills. The emails contain images similar to that below and look very genuine, however it is very important to remember that the HMRC would NEVER contact you in this way. This is a SCAM and they are trying to get your banking details so that they can take money from your account.
If you receive one of these emails either delete it, report it to Action Fraud or forward it to the HMRC for their information”
