Tax Refund Email Scam
Businesses should be aware of a fraudulent email being circulated which claims to offer a refund from the Tax Office.
Subject lines for these emails could include ‘Australian Taxation Office – Notification’ or ‘Australian Taxation Office – Please Read This’. The email also links to a bogus website which looks similar to that of the Tax Office and asks for credit card and other personal details. If you receive an email like this, the Tax Office advises you to delete it immediately.
If you believe you may have provided credit details to a fraudulent website, you should contact your credit provider as soon as possible. For further information, visit the Tax Office website.
