HMRC is warning university students to be wary of potential scams, especially if they have a part-time job and are new to interacting with the department.
University students taking part-time jobs are at increased risk of falling victim to scams, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is warning.
Higher numbers of students going to university this year means more young people may choose to take on part-time work. Being new to interacting with HMRC and unfamiliar with genuine contact from the department could make them vulnerable to scams.
More information on how to recognise genuine HMRC contact and how to avoid and report scams.
Forward suspicious emails claiming to be from HMRC to phishing@hmrc.gov.uk and texts to 60599. Report scam phone calls via GOV.UK.
