Tax Refund New Message Alert!

Have you noticed how many scammers like ending the subject line of their scam emails with an exclamation mark?

It’s a new year, so it’s time for a new round of fake tax refund emails.  The Inland Revenue don’t email you if you have a tax refund due, they write to you.

DO NOT OPEN the attachment to this email which, I suspect, will contain a trojan.
