Default Beware! New phishing scam

Hi, I've posted elsewhere about the welcome decline of spam recently but this one's still got through. It purports to be offering a tax refund if you submit your NI number and other confidential details for 'verification'.
I'm not suggesting anyone on this forum would fall for this but you may want to warn your customers and subscribers about this. There's still alot of people on the net who aren't wise to some of these scams.
I've wrote a guide about 'Phishing' which I'll post this week with permission to publish on your own sites or ezines.

I know there is a lot of money involved, but it still amazes me the lengths these scammers go to. They must actually have some level of brains to come up with these ideas - if only they used their brains in a more legitimate way!

Actually Clive James has given his thoughts on phishing, scams and hoaxes on the BBC News web pages. It's a stimulating read of course;
