HMRC issues new security alerts

HM Revenue & Customs has issued a new security warning over an email currently in circulation.

The email, which comes from “HMRC Online services - test@test.com” states that the recipient has one new ALERT message and should log into their Online Account to read the message.

The email contains a link to a fraudulent website that requests the disclosure of personal account information and password.

HMRC stresses that it has not issued the email and asks anyone receiving a copy to forward it to phishing@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk

HMRC has also said that it is aware of emails being issued to advertise a service where the sender applies for a rebate of National Insurance on the customer’s behalf, usually for a fee.

HMRC is stressing that these companies are not affiliated with HMRC in any way.
