Just to warn people, just in case your virus software doesn't pick up on it, there is a scam email going from stating that it is from HMRC regarding a recent on-line VAT submission. It appears to come from the genuine HMRC email address, but has an attachment which has the virus in it. Genuine emails following a VAT submission don't have attachments.

So just a heads up not to open the attachment.

I got this one as well, i cannot believe how much dodgey e-mail I get, for every genuine query i get from my website, i get another telling me I've won the Spanish lottery or I'm entitled to a share of some money sitting in a Nigerian bank ???? Someone must bite when they get these e-mails or they wouldn't do it...

Got this one too and immediately thought it was dodgy. Contained phrases that were not UK English e.g Fiscal Activity

Mine was worded exactly the same as our normal email after a VAT submission, but it had one sentence added that mentioned the attachment, other than that it looked totally genuine.

I've had a few. Usually it says "click this to claim your rebate" or somesuch. The last one had some text at the bottom that looked very much like Hebrew.

I've had one from a building society that I haven't dealt with for 30 years or more. Even some that I have never had dealings with. Had a text msg the other day in connection with my accident claim of £3500. Funny how you can have accidents and never know.

This is quite a common one. If you're due a rebate, they will contact you via post.

Kwik did you realise that the post you just replied to is a year old?

It's because it is near Easter, he is doing a lot of resarecting ...........
of old posts

Lent doesn't end until Apr 17 - I wonder what I'd like Kwik to give up for Lent.
