**********************************************************************
     The Inland Revenue Department (IRD) today (April 27) alerted members of the public to a fraudulent SMS message purportedly issued by the department that requests the recipient to settle his or her outstanding tax. The fraudulent SMS message provides a hyperlink to a fake IRD website (https://irdgovhk.com/chi/tax/e_alert.php) that seeks to obtain the recipient's personal particulars.
