Inland Revenue Department alerts public to fraudulent emails
************************************************************
The Inland Revenue Department today (March 6) alerted members of the public to fraudulent emails purportedly issued by the department, which invite recipients to claim tax refunds. The emails are sent from the email address "noreply@campaign.eventbrite.com". Each email provides a hyperlink to a website that seeks to obtain the recipient's personal particulars and credit card information. The Inland Revenue Department issued an alert on March 1, but the sender continues to send similar emails to the public.
The department has no connection with the fraudulent emails and has reported the case to the Police for further investigation. Members of the public are reminded not to open any suspicious emails.
