My accountancy institute has told us to warn people of a new phishing email scam supposedly from HMRC. If you get such an email just delete it. I've removed the hyperlinks from what follows.

The full text of this latest scam email (complete with original typos) is: 

From: HMRC [mailto:revn222@ipodnanouk.com]
Sent: 18 September 2014 11:09
To: Recipients
Subject: HMRC - HM Revenue & Customs

Dear Taxpayer 

We wish to inform you that as of September 20 you are no longer eligible to receive a Tax Return. The reason being the expiration of your current information regarding the method by which you receive your Tax Returns. To alleviate this problem you must renew this information by filling out and submiting this form 

Untill you complete this process you will not be able to receive any Tax Return. Please note: Submitting invalid records can lead to the inability to receive Tax Returns for a period of 6 months. 

Please submit the Tax Return Information Update Form and allow us 6-9 days in order to process it. 

Thank you.
