Taxman Scam

HM Revenue & Customs is warning pupil to beware of fraudsters who are posing as the taxman in a bid to get their hands on our current accounts.



The scam is actually fairly simple and based on endearing your confidence. The perpetrators simply contact you, as a taxpayer, by phone and convince you that you’re due a tax rebate. To claim your refund, you’re asked to provide your bank details and personal information. But, certainly, instead of getting a bit of cash back from the revenue, your bank account is emptied and your personal data sold on to other criminal organizations.





Scam By Email:

Phishing emails are hoaxes which attempt to coax out your bank details and individual security data. In such case, the sender will claim to be from HMRC and again asks you to verify your current account details by clicking on a link so that you can get back your tax rebate.

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

Telemarketing scam

Tips to avoid telemarketing scam:

  • It's very difficult to get your money back if you've been scammed over the phone. Before you buy anything by telephone, remember.
  • Don't buy from a strange company. Genuine businesses understand that you want more information about their company and are happy to comply.
  • Always ask for and wait until you receive written objects about any offer or aid. If you get unsolicited mail about costly investments, ask someone whose financial advice you trust to review them. But, unfortunately, be careful not everything written down is true.
  • You must not be asked to pay in advance for services. Pay services only after they are send.

Consequences of scam

scammer consequences:
  • Some investors have hired private investigators in Nigeria or have personally travelled to Nigeria, without ever retrieving their money. One American was murdered in Nigeria while pursuing his lost money. In February 2003, a scam victim from the Czech Republic shot and killed an official at the Nigerian embassy.



  • Victims of 419 Advance Fee Fraud have little recourse. Since 1995, the United States Secret Service has been (somewhat) involved in scambatting these schemes, however they will not investigate unless the monetary loss is in excess of 50,000 US Dollars. Very few arrests and prosecutions have been made due to the international aspect of this crime.
