latest news:Taxman warns of new email scam

CUSTOMS officers have warned taxpayers to be wary of a new phone scam where callers telephone businesses pretending to be the taxman.

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) said it had received reports of fraudsters informing businesses – and members of the public – they were due a tax rebate, and then asking for their bank card details over the phone.

The scam email often begins with a sentence such as “We have reviewed your tax return and our calculations of your last year’s accounts show a tax refund of XXXX is due.”

The thieves then attempt to take money from the account using the details provided. HMRC said victims risked having their bank accounts emptied and their personal details sold on to other organised criminal gangs.

The warning comes amid a recent surge in the number of tax scam “phishing” emails reported to HMRC. In the last three months, HMRC said it had shut down more than 180 websites that were responsible for sending out the fake tax rebate emails.

HMRC said the increase in the number of scam emails reported to it was partly due to people following its advice and forwarding the messages to the department’s online reporting facility.

Such is the scale of the problem that in September last year, a record 83,000 phishing attempts were reported to HMRC. The following month, an unprecedented 10,000 reports of phishing scams were made to HMRC on one day alone.

Chris Hopson, Director of Customer Contact at HMRC said: “We only ever contact customers who are due a tax refund in writing by post. We never use telephone calls, emails or external companies in these circumstances. We strongly urge anyone receiving such a phone call not to give any information to the caller, but report it to the police straightaway.
“If customers receive an email claiming to be from HMRC, we recommend they send it to us for investigation before deleting it permanently.”

HMRC said it thoroughly investigated phishing attacks and worked with other law enforcement agencies in the UK and overseas. In the last 18 months, scam networks have been shut down in a number of countries, including Austria, Mexico, the UK, South Korea, the USA, Thailand and Japan.

Marriage Scam

Sussex vicar guilty of immigration marriage scam

A vicar has been found responsible of carrying out hundreds of scam marriages to bypass immigration law.

Alex Brown conducted 383 weddings, over four years at the Church of St Peter and St Paul in St Leonards, Sussex, 360 of them were fake.

Crown Prosecution Service said it was thought to be the largest fake marriage case it had brought to court. The jury at Lewes Crown Court convicted the 61-year-old of conspiring to facilitate illegal immigration.
Co-defendants Vladymyr Buchak, 33-year-old, have also been found guilty of the same offence, paid eastern Europeans up to £3,000 each to marry Africans, mainly from Nigeria.

The court heard Brown conducted the 360 fake ceremonies between July 2005 and July 2009. The defendants were caught after the UK Border Agency investigated the bogus marriages. Brown was arrested last June.

Jurors were shown photocopies of the marriage register which showed hundreds of people who had got married all seem to live in a small number of streets, with 90 couples registered as living in one road. In some cases, several brides and grooms claimed to live in the same house. The court heard most of those involved in the marriages had given false addresses. Brown insisted he only ever married couples he was sure were together for the right reasons and said he only made exceptions if the bride-to-be was about to give birth. Sentencing was adjourned until 6 September for pre-sentence reports to be carried out on Brown and Adelasoye.

Jury said specialist teams of immigration and police officers were working to tackle this form of organised criminality.

Dear Friend,

Greetings to you this day, I am writing you urgently for your cooperation in an issue I need you to handle with me. My name is Mr. Paul Ngobe, and I am a banker based in Nigeria West Africa. I was actually helping a friend Mr. Neenus Y. Khoshaba a businessman from the USA transfer some of his money from Iraq during the time Islamic terrorist thugs murdered people unjustly and destroyed their properties without any form of pity. Neenus Y. Khoshaba was an unfortunate victim of this attack, he was Kidnapped and Murdered on May 22, 2005. More information can be found on his death if you view these sites.

Before his death, he had deposit the sum of Usd$18,000,000.00 (Eighteen Million American Dollars) with Intercontinental bank which I once worked for. These were proceeds he made secretly from various oil deals in Iraq and Nigeria. I had the opportunity of knowing this because I was his banker. He also appealed to me to ensure that the funds were safely kept and if anything should happen to him I should make his fiancée his next of kin. I made frantic effort to contact any relatives of Mr. Neenus Y. Khoshaba for the past two months without any success, his fiancée died of shock after hearing of his death. At this point I am contacting you to act as the next of kin/original beneficiary to Mr. Neenus Y. Khoshaba's fund in the bank because the bank is planning to hold the funds as "uncleared funds" and thus make it bank's money since no one has come forward to claim it. I need you to stand as the next of kin so that the funds can be processed in your name so that it can be transferred to your account. I cannot do this alone neither can make claims to it myself that is why I need your assistance. If you agree to take up this responsibility, then I will facilitate the process in making you the official beneficiary to the funds and you will be required to contact the bank to instruct a transfer I await your reply.

Best Regards
