Remember: HMRC never send notifications of a tax rebate or ask you to disclose personal or payment information by email, text message or over the phone.

If you receive a fraudulent HMRC message, please follow GOV.UK's advice:

• Forward suspicious emails to HMRC’s phishing team: phishing@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk

• Forward suspicious text messages to 60599. Text messages will be charged at your network rate.

• If HMRC needs to contact you about anything confidential they’ll reply by phone or post.
