| 1221621 | 2011-08-08 01:55:00 | http://www.ird.govt.nz/ On the homepage is "Warning about suspicious emails" ;) Definitely a fan of submitting your own tax return online. Got back over $2500 over the last two years by DIY. Wrote a blog post about how to do it, helped heaps of mates and things too, it's awesome. Stuff paying the likes of nztaxrefunds etc who take a massive chunk :( |

| 1221625 | 2011-08-08 06:58:00 | Anyone know if clicking to the site delivers bad stuff? (No, I didn't, but someone rang me who seems to have though!). | linw (53) | ||

It's quite possible that phishing sites etc would also contain a drive-by download or similar to maximise the effect. I wouldn't go near it (or any of them) with a 40ft barge pole myself. |

| 1221628 | 2011-08-08 09:27:00 | Well, I certainly didn't mean I was going to try it!! Guess I had better visit and run the usual checks over the 84 yr old's comp! |

| 1221629 | 2011-08-09 03:37:00 | I've had ones from IRD that include a phone number for me to call. So far the numbers have been to "call centres" in Poland, Iridium satellite phone, and Bangladesh! | ledzep (1441) | ||
