As ever, set your junk email filters on high ...
We got taken in the other day by an apparent announcement by HMRC that the latest Covid-19 SEISS grant was being extended by one month until the end of February, although what the point of it was I'm still not sure.

Re: Beware of scam emails
Received a new variant on scam emails this morning.
Allegedly from E.ON it tried to scam me into believing I had been overcharged by them and a refund had to be paid into my bank.
It was well designed and looked almost entirely authentic and believable - except I don't have an electricity supply from them - I am with another provider.
The link was to a fake web-address and would have invited me to "confirm" my bank details - right into the hands of the crook scammers.
Had I provided the requested bank info - they could take any number of steps to try to rob monies from my account.
Be wary of unexpected emails everyone - there's a new criminal scam round every corner.
