Brits are being urgently warned over fake HMRC coronavirus letters and emails offering "tax refunds".
The fraudsters claim the UK Government have set up a tax refund programme for dealing with coronavirus pandemic - which is not true.
The phishing email reads: "The Government has taken urgent steps to list coronavirus as a notifiable disease in law."
It adds that a refund programme has been set up in response and says: "Based on your National Insurance contributions you are eligible to get a tax refund of £128.34."
But, in order to receive this, you are prompted to click a link under the guise you can "claim your national insurance refund".
This is in fact a malicious link which aims to access your private details and potentially steal money.
A warning about the scam read: "HMRC REFUND SCAM! There are fake HMRC letters & emails going around issuing refunds due to COVID-19.
"DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS Please retweet to raise awareness."
