Seems to be a lot of SPAM coming out from emails @fathom-labs.io at the moment. Looks like they have got hold of a lot of email addresses and are sending out emails that look very convincing from companies like John Lewis and Boots saying you have won a prize.

Personally, I would take a number from the HMRC website rather than the letters and give them a call to ask. HMRC are not known for being proactive so better to check now than have to spend loads of time sorting out something not of your making further down the line.
Assuming it is not a scam...
I had a new variant of the internet performance call the other morning.
“Good morning Sir. I am calling from BT Openreach on behalf of Sky and Virgin”

Anyone...
I had four calls today from scammers. The first call cuts off as soon as you answer so I guess that is just checking someone is at the other end, The second call was someone claiming to be from Virgin Media about my broadband. Having has a similar call about BT Broadband a while ago, this new...
Took a phone call from an Indian sounding chap this morning who told me he was calling from BT Openreach. It seems like the internet use in my house was very high and it was suspected that my internet had been hacked. The gentleman kindly offered to help me fix this and just wanted me to give...
I took a call the other day regarding loft insulation. Caller says that you had your loft insultation replaced a few years ago under the government scheme and that the insulation used can cause condensation. This is all quite believable but they are trying to get into people's houses, do an...
