Scammers are targeting small business owners with very convincing letters pretending to be from HMRC.
The letter uses a font very similar to that of HMRC's official communications, and asks the reader to verify their financial information via email.
It is worth noting that the UK's national reporting centre for fraud and cybercrime, Action Fraud, also warned that scams are not exclusively by letter in the post – criminals are using various methods to target their victims, including phishing emails and text messages.
HMRC recommends taking your time and checking its scams advice page on the Gov.uk website.
