IRD is warning of a new scam that asking customers for credit card details. IRD has received a significant number of report about the email.

It is a very good copy of a legitimate IR email. It can be detected by the following:
- The From Field does not end in ird.govt.nz
- Hovering the cursor over the weblink does not point to an IRD.GOVT.NZ website.
- Do not click as these are not from IRD. We will never advise you that you are due a tax refund through email.

Anyone who receives an email from the IRD, or someone claiming to be the IRD should get in contact with them.
