INCOME TAX SWINDLE
The spanish tax agency (Agencia Tributaria) warns of a new e-mailing swindle.
If you are asking for a refund over your 2009 Income Tax, be careful if you receive any e-mail at your inbox. Fake e-mails sent as "phishing" action, were detected on June 10th and inmediatly messures has been taken by the government in order to finish this fraud. It makes reference to a kind of information which "makes impossible" the refund. The e-mail forges the Agencia Tributaria signature and logo.
The e-mail ask you to fill personal data in an external link, again with fake Agencia Tributaria signature and logo. The tax agency suggest to be careful with suspect comunications. Even more if these e-mails ask for bank accounts numbers.
Finally, bear in mind that spanish tax agency won't ask you by e-mail for any personal or economic information, credit card numbers or taxpayers bank accounts.
