Beware of this scam

This morning's inbox had a message purporting to be from HMRC (UK tax office) asking us to claim a modest refund for 2015.
Clearly HMRC would never contact you by email and if you want to check your tax position go to HMRC's site with your personal reference, or write or telephone the office shown on your tax return or notice of code.
This was a scam and would inevitably ask for access to your bank account or a payment for "administration". Do not fall for it.
