Silly Spammer, no biscuit...

What fun - I have just received an e-mail from Department of Revenue,Ministry of Finance Government of United Kingdom to tell me that I am eligible to receive a tax refund of 988.50 GBP!!

I would just have to click a link, fill in my details, and wait three or four days for them to process it all. Fancy!

Only problem - I don't pay UK tax, being Manx... Silly Spammer.

(As well as the British Government not being the 'Government of United Kingdom', not having a 'Department of Revenue,Ministry of Finance' - and if they did they'd probably know how to use spaces after commas... and the £ sign...)

And even if you were a UK taxpayer, for the majority of the population their tax is all sort out via PAYE. There would have to be something way out of the ordinary to be getting that sort of refund.

D'oh!

We have PAYE and do still get refunds - but not quite like that!!
