Scam - report it to them

Quote from the HMRC website

  • HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) will never send notifications of a tax rebate by email, or ask you to disclose personal or payment information by email.
  • To be completely safe from phishers, do not select links in emails. If in doubt, close your browser, reopen it, and type the web address for the site you want to visit directly into the address bar.

It is a scam. Roll your mouse over the link & the true address comes up.

Don't give them your details

I don't think posting a link to a suspicious website is very smart. You're putting people at risk if their security's not up to scratch.

We have removed the link - it said something like "Fudanmedia image" in the HTML which is the 'old fashioned' way of checking a link

Thank you very much for this action

I thought your post was about fundraising for the Haringey Migrant Support Centre at

Claim is spelt wrong with an e on the end. And fiscal sounds out of place here. I have received many of these type of scams supposedly from HMRC. It's so obviously wrong but of course some folks could be fooled and give away their financial details. 

If something looks too good to be true it usually is..

Scam, scam, scam. it's a scam.
