Have you recently received a text or email saying you’re due a tax refund? Phishing messages are designed to look authentic and can be hard to detect. Be on the lookout 👀 Even if it looks convincing, don't click on links, or give out your bank details.
And remember, we do not put refund amounts, or links directly to myIR in our emails or texts.
