Interesting Posts, I am a Debt Advisor with Citizens Advice and I have recently been contacted by someone who was told by a friend to contact Fast Tax Rebates and claim for 'his uniform and the laundry of it' as he had done it and got money back.
Similar to others on here they promised him money, got access to his Government Gateway, had photocopies of his Full Passport and got him to apply for a UTR (never been self employed works in telesales).
He then received £1900 from FTR,and has now received a demand from HMRC for nearly £8000. He never knew anything about EIS and cannot get hold of FTR for love nor money
