The link in the email message, which claims that the victims can have their tax refund deposited to their bank accounts, will take them to the fake or phishing websites:

The fake HM Revenue & Customs websites have a form that requests personal and banking information, which it claims the potential victims need to enter in order to receive their tax refund on their VISA or MasterCard. But, any information entered on the form will be sent to the scammers or cyber-criminals behind the fake websites.
Victims of this phishing scam are advised to contact their bank or credit card company immediately to report the stolen credit card information.
