I got a spam e-mail the other day from a bot posing as someone from HMRC. Obviously the charade was clear rather early on as HMRC haven't got that e-mail address and I was addressed as 'Dear Applicant'. However the e-mail went on to give instructions on how to claim back gazillions in back-taxes, as long as I give over certain information. Straight in the spam folder it goes...
Worrying, though, when you think some will fall for crap like that.
