    Ok, not sure where to post this but have been getting e-mails for about a week, a few a day:

    From: HM Revenue and Customs
    Subject: Notice of Underreported Income

    I have been just deleting them without opening as it is possible 'phishing' or something. I have no unreported income and have never heard of HM Revenue and Customs.

    Are others getting this?
    Is there anywhere to report it to?

    It sounds like a phishing email.

    I think that's the UK revenue service, so yes, they're spamscum trying to trick you into clicking on something nasty. I've got a bunch of them, plus ones from the American IRS as well.

    OK - Not a Personal Issue. Thread moved to Virus and Malware Removal

    Report the emails to your ISP - Internet Service Provider.

    this is a scam, there was a feature on BBC RAdio 4's "You and yours" program recently. Spokesman for revenue said they never contact customers via email.
