Hi,

I have received similar in the past and have reported to the Police and HMRC.

You can forward the email to phishing@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk and then delete it if you wish.

Hi,

Like most people I receive these and have bank accounts I have never opened 'suspended' nearly every day !

HMRC will never contact you by e-mail to advise that you are due a refund.

For any spam email, the smart thing to do is not reply at all. By replying to spammers, it confirms that they have a valid email address and may circulate your email to other spammers.
