Tax scams target students

-

Fraudsters are bombarding university students with large numbers of fake tax refund emails, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is warning.

HMRC said it is the first time it has seen a tax scam attack directly targeting university students in such high volumes. The tax authority has received thousands of fraud reports in just a few weeks from students at colleges across the UK.

Fake emails may promise people they are owed some money in an attempt to obtain their personal informatio­n.
