Revenue commissioners never send emails or text messages requiring customers to provide personal information.

Revenue said the messages are seeking personal information from taxpayers in connection with a tax refund or they are seeking credit/debit card details, but that these did not issue from Revenue.
“Revenue commissioners never send emails or text messages requiring customers to send personal information via email, text or pop-up windows,” it said.
“Anyone who receives an email or text message purporting to be from Revenue and suspects it to be fraudulent or a scam should simply delete it. Anyone who is actually awaiting a tax refund should contact their local Revenue office to check its status.”

The Revenue added that anyone who provided personal information in response to these fraudulent emails or text messages should contact their bank or credit card company immediately.
