Revenue has issued a further warning of fraudulent emails, text messages and phone calls appearing to come from them seeking personal information from taxpayers. The fraudulent messages typically relate to tax refunds and the immediate payment of tax to avoid criminal proceedings and are a phishing attempt.
Revenue has confirmed that MyEnquiries, the secure online service, is used to send, receive and track correspondence. Examples of fraudulent emails and texts are included in the release. Revenue also advises individuals to reset passwords if account details have been provided in response to an email, text or phone call and to contact their bank or credit card company if bank details have been provided.
