I have logged on to HMRC and none of my clients have been issued P6s. I'm pretty certain its a scam , but just wondered if other members have received similar emails from their clients
Sorry, should have done a search first, just seen this other thread

Zip Files
The zip file attachment is a giveaway. Never open a zip file attachment unless you are certain it is safe.
The Queen's English
The grammar and spelling is never quite correct in these scam emails, so if in doubt read it carefully.
'Toll free' - we are not Americans
'is important for (to) us' ''
'please open (the) attached'
HMRC confirmed its a scam.......
i got one of these this morning, as previously said the "zip" file was an instant red light !
sent it to HMRC's phishing email address......the response was "this is a scam email.....do not under any circumstances open the zip file"
Scam
I got one -the e-mail address of the sender was the giveaway [email protected] which is not the HMRC e-mail address.
I get about 3 or 4 of these a week currently. The formatting of the email is even more terrible than a HMRC email,
Definitely a scam!
Definitely a scam - forward to [email protected]
Although I'm not sure what they do with all the reports.
