A scam warning has been issued to people who claim Tax Credits ahead of an upcoming deadline.
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) says anyone who claims Tax Credits should be "on their guard" amid new tactics being used by fraudsters. The alert comes as new scams have been reported.
According to HMRC, criminals use deadlines, like the Tax Credits renewal deadline on July 31, to target victims. The scams mimic Government communications to make them appear genuine.
