The Australian Tax Office has warned of an email scam where people send emails that look like they are from the Tax Office.

The email talks about a tax refund and you need to enter your credit card details. The Tax Office never asks you for your credit card details.

If you have entered your credit card details as a result of replying to one of these emails you should report it to your credit card provider.

It appears that the United States IRS had this same problem back in 2005.
