Well, I can't wait. I need to be IWP'd first of course. Do you think it will happen? I note many others are due £189.60, so many of us might be very lucky :-S :-S ;-)

Mmmm and all they want are a few personal details eh John..............

Amazing how often someone sends me an email telling me I'll be quids in!

Keep safe
Mayfield ;-)

BR I am a cynic by nature. Not that I haven't had a lot of letters from HMRC via email without an addressee on top and tailed "Sincerely Yours". Sounds kosher to me :-D

I quite often get junk email for bank accounts or credit cards I do not have.....have just recieved this, first one I have seen from Lloyds if I was stupid I might reply :-D

HMRC do not send e-mails or use any of the above addresses to notify you of a tax rebate, or ask you to disclose personal or payment information.

Roy :-D :-D I thought we had fallen out big time and you had left site. Lovely to see you post again (and I mean that sincerely).

Paula. Could you ask your friend''s daughter to sort us all out with a tax rebate please :-D I think rabitting on chat lines is tax deductible :-S

Jax. Have just sent you a pm at algra@hotmail :-D Only joking, I haven't.

Rare for me to be phished these days. I used to have so many Nigerian friends at one time.

I have NEVER had a genuine communication from HMRC via email!

@JAX My OH gets similar emails almost every day, but we have been told that banks building society's at al would never contact you by email.

I was under the impression that the Tax Office had made it clear on a number of occasions that they never contact clients by e mail.
Also the fact that a number of people are due exactly the same amount of refund sound a bit fishy to me.
Do be careful ;-)
& if you do get the money, don´t spend it all at once on high living.

I know Paula thats why I am ignoring it.....They could have got the Banks name correct aswell, It has been Lloyds TSB for years now :-D

John If that's the case you will be due for a windfall
;-)

HMRC do not use email.
They hardly ever get round to answering the telephone either.
And "Internal Revenue" is an American term, not HMRC.
If they are going to con anyone these foreign crooks are going to have to do better than that !
But I suppose there is always some vulnerable person who gets suckered otherwise they would give up.
I believe that Nigeria's economy is based on 1. Oil and 2. Computerised Fraud.

Brian :-D Too right. And when would you have tailed one of your letters about financial affairs with Sincerely Yours. I think you only tend to do that if you start a letter "Dear Jim" which I doubt HMRC would do. Unless you happen to own Starbucks ;-)

Paula :-D :-D You are awful. But I like you ;-)

' Stephen I am sorry you are right The Inland Revenue was merged with HM Customs and Excise to form HM Revenue and Customs which came into existence on 18 April 2005 :-S
