HMRC’s official online services use addresses ending in **`.gov.uk`**, such as `www.gov.uk` or `tax.service.gov.uk`.\n\n2. **It creates artificial urgency**  \n   “Claim within 24 hours” is designed to make you act before checking. Genuine tax refunds do not normally disappear because you fail to click a text link within a day.\n\n3. **It asks you to claim a refund through a text-message link**  \n   HMRC warns that criminals impersonate it using refund messages. Do not use links in unsolicited texts to enter personal, tax, bank, or card details.\n\n### What to do next\n- **Do not click the link, reply, or enter any information.**\n- **Forward the text to 60599**, the UK mobile networks’ spam-reporting service, then delete it.\n- You can also report it to HMRC by forwarding/sending details to **phishing@hmrc.gov.uk**.\n- If you want to check whether you are genuinely due a refund, go to **www.gov.uk** yourself—do not use the text’s link—and sign in to your Personal Tax Account or contact HMRC using contact details found on GOV.UK.\n\nIf you already clicked the link or gave any bank/card details, contact your bank immediately, change any reused passwords, and report it to **Action Fraud** at `actionfraud.police.uk`.",
