    Just got an email out of nowhere claiming I have 200 odd euro to claim back before end month in tax but I don't trust it!

    The email is tax@revenue-refund-ie.com

    Anyone know if this is fake or?

    Email itself looks quite legit and links you to what looks like the revenue website.

    If you didn't apply for it then it's always a scam.

    Revenue will never, ever approach you offering money back out of the blue. Trust me.

    How do you check that?

    I've downloaded the app and signed in but couldn't find any info like that.

    I'd be interested to see if I owe anything.
