Have you got these e-mails?

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.

Yeah, I got a few of them too. Just delete them.

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.
