Episode Details

HMRC is sounding the alarm on online tax scams, urging everyone to treat digital sharing of personal info as seriously as handing it to a stranger in person. With scammers flooding social media with fake offers, they’ve dropped a gritty, anti-piracy-style video comparing leaking tax details to stealing a car — highlighting the real risks: identity theft, fraudulent repayments you’re forced to pay, frozen accounts, and sold data. Phishing is rampant, with fake messages leading to malware. Cyber experts advise making yourself harder to target — report scams immediately. If you’re hit, contact your bank, file a crime report, reset passwords, and always verify HMRC’s official contact info — they’ll never ask for details via text or social media.
