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?

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

Apple Downloads Adobe bargains email scam

Interesting email from Apple offering huge discounts on Adobe software…

..but wait. That is not my usual email address. The web site looks like an Apple site apart from the poor [wikipop]typeface[/wikipop] choice.

Splendid. Next.
