Summer is prime time for scammers. Scammers use sophisticated tactics to impersonate us and trick people into providing personal information. Remember, never provide personal information or payment details to anyone claiming to be Inland Revenue. We will only ever ask you to provide this information via myIR or on the phone if you've called us. If you have any doubts, contact us directly or send an email with details of the suspected scam to our phishing team at [email protected]. For the latest known scams, visit - https://lnkd.in/dzzCqND
