Just reply with the suggestion you are near the tax office so you can pop in and collect it yourself...

Never, ever reply to spam since it lets the spammer know that yours is a live e-mail address.

What I should have said was reply by letter, not any email you use so Hugh's advice is sound.

Hi all, i love the scam phone calls i pretend i am a little old lady living all alone & ask them if they can bring me food round as i haven't eaten for weeks, i ask them where they re from & whats the weather like, they usually say somewhere in India & i say is that near Blackpool. Sometime i have a whistle & give that a good blow down the phone they usually ring off them Pete
