A spam email, supposedly issued by “HMRC Online services – test@test.com”, is being circulated, stating that recipients have 1 new ALERT message, and should log into their Online Account to read the message.

The email contains a link to a fraudulent website that requests the disclosure of personal account information and password.  The email is not from HMRC.  Anyone receiving such an email is asked to forward it to HMRC at phishing@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk.
