Revenue today warned Clare Internet users of a bogus email that lures people into sending personal financial information.
The scam first popped up in March with fraudsters contacting their victims claiming they are owed a tax refund and asking for credit or debit card details and date of birth, reports breakingnews.ie. “The email appears to have issued again today,” a spokeswoman said. “This email did not issue from Revenue. The Revenue Commissioners never send emails which require customers to send personal information via email or pop-up windows.”
Revenue asked anyone who receives a suspicious email to forward it to webmaster@revenue.ie.
