Report HMRC phishing emails, texts and phone call scams

 

Fraudsters are sending scam emails and SMS-messages that promise tax rebates to trick people into disclosing their account and personal details.

You’ll never get an email, text message or phone call from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) which:

  • tells you about a tax rebate or penalty
  • asks for your personal or payment information

Check HMRC’s guidance on recognising scams if you’re not sure.
