退税骗局! 英国税务与海关总署向纳税人发出紧急诈骗警告! HMRC就一封声称向纳税人提供退税的虚假电子邮件发出紧急诈骗警告!一名谨慎的收件人向英国税局转发了这封可疑邮件,并询问邮件是否真实。
这封虚假电子邮件告知收到邮件的纳税人有资格获得325.81英镑的退税,并附有一个“立即申请”按钮。
出于对可疑邮件内容的疑问,此人通过邮件向HMRC求证:
“我收到了一封关于退税的邮件,邮件地址是 - hmrc@public.govdelivery.com”。
他接着说:“我不相信这个电子邮件地址,但邮件本身看起来是合法的,请确认真伪。”
英国皇家税务与海关总署的代表做出了回应,证实了该怀疑者的猜测,即该电子邮件来自骗子。 这位代表说:“这是一个骗局,您可以使用这个链接进行举报:
这封欺诈性电子邮件的标题是:
来自GOV.UK的更新 - "Update from GOV.UK - Claim your HMRC Tax Reveue reference: xxxx"
其中包含多个拼写错误,包括一个拼错的“revenue”。经常出现拼写和语法错误是诈骗电子邮件的主要特征之一。这封邮件还包含“your are eligible to claim”的短语。
这封诈骗电子邮件全文如下 :
"We would like to notify that you are eligible to claim a tax refund of amount £325.81 GBP. According to calculation of your last year's fiscal activities, we have concluded that your are eligible to claim a tax refund for (2022/2023)."
