HMRC Phishing [problem] - Has CAG been hacked?

[Stuwardo]

Just received HMRC phishing [problem] email. To prevent spam from filling my mail box, I use a different email address for every web registration account, when an address starts getting spam I just delete it from my web mail server and use another one.

 

Problem is the HMRC phishing email was sent to the email address used to register with this forum. This email address has not been used anywhere else on the internet.

 

CAG have you been hacked! How many members of this forum have received the HMRC phishing or other phishing emails?

 

Web mail provider provides up to 500 email addresses for £9.00/year

 

 

Update: Two more phishing emails received, another very fake HMRC [problem] and Orange phone rebate [problem], both sent to my CAG registration address.

As far as I am aware there have been no further attacks. I will check with Webby though.
