Dr W Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 And perhaps know your name. Also HMRC NEVER communicate in this way, any electronic correspondence would be done via your Secure Gateway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKPoacher Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 I deal with these numtpies on a daily basis. The last one sent £3,390 off by MoneyGram never to be seen again after buying a 'bargain' caravan off the web and, get this, receiving not one invoice, but two for different caravans, from a seller who didn't have a phone The one before sold jewellery for £130 on fleabay to a UK lady who asked her to gift wrap it and send it to her friend in Nigeria. The seller had received a scam e-mail purporting to befrom PayPal confirming receipt of funds so off the parcel went to Lagos and to cap it all, the seller then sent a payment of £130 by MoneyGram to the buyer to pay for customs charges believing that the buyer had already reimbursed her by PayPal Fools and their money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
