Revenue Dept warns of phishing scams disguised as tax refund emails
Thailand’s Revenue Department warns taxpayers of phishing emails posing as tax refund notices, urging the public not to click links and to verify only via rd.go.th.
The Revenue Department has warned the public not to fall victim to phishing scams disguised as tax refund notifications sent via email.
In its warning issued on Saturday, the department said it has no policy of sending emails to taxpayers to notify them of tax refunds, nor does it send links for identity verification.
According to the department, scammers have been circulating phishing emails with subject lines such as “Informing rights for tax refund”, urging recipients to click attached links to verify their information.
The department added that taxpayers who wish to check their eligibility for tax refunds must do so only through its official website: rd.go.th.
The department advised taxpayers receiving such emails to:
- Not click any attached links.
- Not provide personal or financial information.
- Immediately delete the email.
