I think they are genuine accounts but they have made a mistake with the name of the bank.

I doubt the fraudsters can get on to the AdE website and create tax entries.. If that is true then the AdE is in crisis.

Ah that sounds more feasible, perhaps this "Gary Stadele" is working in the area of information transfer with Italy and someone has the bank named incorrectly. At least this would be better than your details being used to setup accounts. Still not too sure how you get them to sort it out.

Yes probably HMRC dumped a lot of financial records and sent them to Rome. Gary was the man in charge.

Have you contacted your local AdE? I found them to be normal people and prepared to listen and discuss.

I did think of going to the office. . I have to submit a new tax return so I thought to let my accountant do that. The google review of our local office is very negative.

Lucky you to need an accountant! 😄
I get by with an annual visit to CAAF with my debit card.

They make very big mistakes. Last year I got a letter probably from the same Rome office saying that in 2021 I had earned about 40% more than I had declared. This came with a table of all the penalties that I was going to pay and their code numbers that I mistakenly thought were the actual percentages of the fine. After a lot of worry and some analysis I realized that they had counted a lot of invoices twice, with and without the country code of the VAT numbers. My commercialista wrote back and that was it. Get some evidence that the alleged accounts are not yours (email from the bank concerned?) and send it back.

It sounds like it was the same folks at work. My accountant has gone on holiday and I hope it will be fixed when she gets back.

Cheers - that's very useful to know what to do if the same ever happens to me.
