    Just looking to raise awareness of what I suspect is a scam email.
    It purports to be from electric ireland and suggests I am an entitled to a tax refund.
    Email appears to be coming from support@electric ireland. The issue is that I don't even have an account with electric ireland, I am with another provider. The apparent refund amount is in £'s as despite living in Dublin.
