Revenue has published a further warning of fraudulent emails, SMS (text messages) and phone calls seeking personal information from taxpayers. Revenue has updated its website to highlight recent fraudulent emails claiming that taxpayers are ‘due an audit’ and providing a link instructing them to schedule the audit by a specified date.
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.
