Just had to do this because it said the contents are 'confidential'
There's also an attachment to download giving a weblink, so you can enter your credit card details, along with your mother's maiden name... Trouble is, you will not be credited with the amount, you'll be debited.
Don't think folks on DK will be fooled by this... but thought it is something we've to be aware of, for friends and family that might think it's genuine...
The Inland Revenue, Council Tax or any government agency will never contact you by email... detailing that they are owing you money.
