Blog2018 ≫ I just got a fake email from HMRC

Google did not flag it as a bad one and it looks quite convincing only the from email is noreply@notifications-hmrcgov.uk rather than noreply@notifications.hmrc.gov.uk. Oh, and it came to some made up name at this domain. Apart from that, I was about to open the Microsoft Word document that was attached...
