There are currently major tax related scams going around which entail emails being sent purporting to be from HM Revenue & Customs or the IRS.
The emails advise you that you are due a repayment of tax and ask you to fill in the form attached to the email to enable the repayment to be made directly into your bank account.
HM Revenue & Customs never correspond with taxpayers by email and the IRS do so only very rarely. These emails should be deleted on receipt without being opened.
Alternatively, you could forward these e-mails to us and we will pass them onto the HM Revenue & Customs’ fraud section who are currently investigating these scams.
