VAT phishing scam

The email scammers are still coming for your money.

Their sole aim is to part you from your hard-earned funds – so keep your wits about you – at all times!

This scammer purports to be from HMRC, but the sender is “customer@wtfumedia.com” which evidently isn’t an HMRC email address.

Remember, no government office, bank or building society will ever email you asking for any sort of information – or provide a hotlink to your account.

And most will have your name or part of your address on their emails confirming they know you.

The safest method of contact is to save the correct URL for their website in your browser – then always use this to contact them. Never, ever, respond by clicking on an email hotlink.

If you have vulnerable members of your family, or friends that could be taken in, tell them to be on their guard.

Keep safe
