The OTS has been made aware of people receiving correspondence using the OTS logo and signatures to request payment of “tax”.
It is reminding people that the OTS is not a tax collection agency, and the correspondence is not legitimate.
It has urged anyone who receives any demand for payment of any kind claiming to be from the OTS, to report it to the National Cyber Security Centre by forwarding the email to [email protected]
