not sure if im the unlucky one this year.

so the email content is:

- requesting me to email back a xxxx, yyyy year documents/receipts/EA forms
- requesting me to submit a photocopy of my parent's ICs
- it also asks for my mobile number (i thought LHDN will not ask for this?)
- there is no due date, the exact reply was "Tindakan segera di perlukan"
- email is definitely from @hasil.gov.my, but just wondering if lately got any spoof attempt to make it look legit?
- it is sent from a staff email, not like the official noreply@hasil.gov.my, etc

edit: oh yes, forgot to mention, the email title is my income tax account number, the title is legit just "SG xxxxxxxxxxxx"
without any other information. lol

but is it legit?

i thought they only send physical letter?

going to call to verify on Monday but thinking there's no harm to hear some input here before i do

Check the original email and see if there is this line:

Received: from seg-a2.hasil.gov.my (mx.hasil.gov.my. [113.11.236.135])

I’m not sure this is helpful or not ? Sound like scam.

Suggest you print out the thing and then go to LHDN office to verify.

I've received this once, from an official letter delivered to my house.

Better call LHDN to confirm about this. Usually i go to LHDN submit my receipt.

Wow, if documents, receipts are too numerous to scan, especially for business people. Perhaps arrange for them to come to the premise.

Are you working or a businessman?

Second this. Email looks legit but still I wouldn't scan and email it to them. Better go to their office and check the status. Print the email or just show it on your phone.

just found out how.

yea got this. lol. so its a legit staff email requesting for my data?

could this be spoofed somehow?

nope, different content, but thanks


thinking to do that.

because i thought if kena audit, they should be sending a letter instead?

yea im going to call on Monday. because this is the first time i see a staff directly email to me asking for info.

it would've been believable until i saw that there is no due date mentioned, and they asked for my number.

also a bit of grammartical error in bahasa

like gaya hidup is written as "gayahidup"
dates not consistent, some are written as 01/01/2020, some are written as 1/01/2020. lol.
and signature got different "quotation" font.

so not sure if these are red flags. but will verify on Monday.


salaryman saja

just lucky in 2 years time got 46% increase in salary due to job hop.

I have tried calling, its very hard to go through, faster way is just head to LHDN office. Not a lot people during week days.

My colleague has similar email like yours, she ignored it and got it penalty and only found out it is legit email.

I suggest u go to meet them face to face and submit copy on the spot if u feel suspicious

Congrats. You can look forward to audit every couple of years from now on.

Since when they ask u not to respond to email?

U can choose to ignore but once u slap with penalty, CP38 will be sent to your employer and force to deduct from your salary.

did your friend got asked to provide mobile number?

because mine did

also did some checking, apparently there are cases that scammers manage to obtain official email addresses @hasil.gov.my and send out scam emails.

so will still call on Monday to make sure

Better call first. It would not do any harm to you. Better safe than sorry man.

Im quite sure its real because they contacted me too lol

I got physical letter too

so you have both physical letter and email?

which one you got first? email or letter?

and letter arrive few days later?

Sounds like a scam. Better call LHDN directly

usually will send by physical mail.
that's 2 year ago, now maybe changed

anyway, there will be 1 officer in charge for your audit, his/her name is stated on the email ?

u dont know how to check email header?
or source mode?

sender name is not sender

Jus call the lhdn, say wanna speak to Ur tax advisor...u have a specific officer in charge of Ur ACC de...he will advice u...
