HMRC Scam Email
A very poor scam attempt from scammers pretending to be from HMRC (His Majesty's Revenue and Customs) ie the UK Tax authorities. They try to gain your interest with an attached file called PENDING TAX REFUND
Let's have a look at the e-mail:
From: HMRC.GOV.UK supports@tylerbatotalterminals.me
To: [Email address redacted]
Subject: RE: Notification From HMRC Digital
Notes: So the sender email address is not an official government email address. The recipient is not addressed by name. The Government might be casual these days but highlighting in yellow and red text isn't normal "house style".
After carefully weighing things up I did click on the link which gave the webpage as below:
Seriously now, having supposedly received an email and attachment from HMRC would you login to your e-mail account and provide your email credentials to scammers!
Recommendation:
Do not click on links, just delete.
