Spoof email scams staff

There is a new hoax doing the rounds, this time in an email purporting to be from HM Revenue & Customs notifying you of a tax refund.

The email is a hoax and asks you to follow a link to access a 'secure' form. This form will ask you for your bank details, address and other personal information. Despite the HM Revenue & Customs logo this email is fake and the form is not secure. Do not enter and submit any details.

A secure form will always have a padlock at the bottom of the page and the URL will begin with https:// rather than the non-secure http://.

More information about this particular scam can be found on the genuine HM Revenue & Customs website here: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/security/spoofs.htm.
