Just received an official looking email from the Australian Tax Office. One link is official the other which looks for details is not. I was there last year and did take a second look at the email. Having a number of friends returning for Christmas, I can imagine the lure of a tax return could trap a few.

“A new Tax scam site is up: itcrevenue.net. Sending out a text message saying to go here for a tax refund and to enter in the ITC code they have sent. Friend just got it sent to them”

Anyone tempted?

Update:

From de Revenue:

Anyone who receives an unsolicited text message purporting to be from Revenue and suspects it to be fraudulent or a scam should simply delete it. Anyone who is actually awaiting a tax refund should contact their local Revenue Office to check its status. Please see our Security page for further information.
