Revenue has published a further warning of fraudulent emails, SMS (text messages) and phone calls seeking personal information from taxpayers. The press release outlines that Revenue has recently had sight of scam emails which claim that a taxpayer is “due an audit” and which include a link requesting the taxpayer to arrange the audit by a specified date. These messages are not from Revenue.
Revenue will never contact a taxpayer by email, SMS or phone call to inform you of a tax refund or bill. Taxpayers who have provided Revenue account details in response to an email, SMS or phone call are advised to reset their password immediately. Taxpayers are advised to contact their bank or credit card provider if they have provided bank or card details.
