The Inland Revenue Department today (July 4) alerted members of the public to fraudulent emails purportedly issued by the department, which invite recipients to claim tax refunds. Each email provides a hyperlink to a website which seeks to obtain the recipient's personal particulars and credit card information.

     The department has no connection with the fraudulent emails and has reported the cases to the Police for further investigation. Members of the public are reminded not to open any suspicious email.
