gov.uk-signup.org HMRC Scam Text Message

I received an HMRC scam text message from telephone number 1481246972 that stated: "HMRC: records show that you have pending tax rebate available. To calculate your claim, click here: gov.uk-signup.org." The fake text message is being sent by scammers who are attempting to trick potential victims into visiting the fake HMRC website or government website that steals personal and financial information. If you have received the fake message, please share it in a comment below and report it to phishing@hmrc.gov.uk. Do not follow the instructions in it or click the link.
