Tax Refund Scam eMail

Splendid! A £1,400.00 tax refund. But wait a minute…

“Dear Customer”? Since when have I been a customer of HMRC?

“How to return itself have not changed, only the format of what you claim and how you get paid back from HMRC has changed digitally.” At least they have cleared that up.

It is the cheery “Best Regards,” that is the clincher.

Euclid James Sherwood 1942 – 2011

Motorhead died on Christmas day.  A teenage schoolfriend of [wikipop search=”Frank Zappa”]Zappa[/wikipop] in the late 1950s, swapping records and performing in early bands such as The BlackOuts and The Omens. He moved into Zappa’s studio with Zappa living there for six months in the early 1960s and became a musician/roadie with The Mothers.

Here he is (in sunglasses) blowing up a storm and shaking his tambourine with The Mothers in 1968:
