Scam Alert
I have received three email messages today from a "Ms Lin Homer" allegedly of HMRC (Ms. Lin Homer (mslin.homer@hmrc.gov.uk).
The emails contain a document that the sender wants me to open and download.
In the event that you receive one of these under no circumstances open or download the document, it will most likely contain a trojan that is designed to access your pin codes etc stored on your pc.
HMRC do not sent out emails like this.
I'm in the U.S. and have received the same emails; I know not to open the attachments, but I let the sender know when the first one was sent that I was on to the scam. Since then I have gotten two more, both angry and demanding money and making threats. Now I am angry and want this idiot stopped. Is the British gov. doing anything to stop this person? They are using the gov. and a gov. employee's name to perpetrate a fraud.
