Recently many of us must have recieved an e-mail stating that there is some amount which is due for refund and in order to claim that money one needs to click a link which takes to Income tax website.
The body of the mail says
"Dear Valued Taxpayer,

Endeavor to fill in your Information correctly,to enable us make refund to your account without any delay.
Refund can be delayed for some reasons:

Submitting incorrect account informationTax Refund Department
Department of revenue, Ministry of finance, Government of India."
When you click on the link "CLICK HERE", it takes you to http://beauxartsschool.com/webalizer/web/1/refunds/index.html?id=refund which looks like a fishy website, as IT Dept websites will always have https or .in or .gov in the web address.
If you select AXIS BANK/ HDFCBANK or any other bank, it will take you to respective Bank's Homepage but the web url address stills remains of http://beauxartsschool.com.
DO NOT ENTER ANY BANK DETAILS DATA IN ANY OF THESE OR YOU WILL BE PARTED WITH YOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY IN A JIFFY. Please forward to as many people as possible and make them aware of these phishing mails.
