HMRC wouldn't send emails about tax matters.

Definitely fake.

I always fill these in with stupid information and send them off with "Fuck You" as the password etc .

I then take some satisfaction that they think they have a bite, only to open it up to be abused .

Are you aware that when you do so most of them (although not this one) have a unique id as part of the URL that is linked back to your email address which then validates it as a "live" email address and gets you promoted within their spam database from "email address found on web" to "email address validated by recipient"?

I get loads of these crank e-mails, usually claiming to be off banks, building societies, paypal etc etc etc....

I'd love to know how many people fall for it?

I have received less spam lately, but that could be down to our server's filter . However, comments noted and will be acted upon .
