Be careful of fake IRS e-mails - there are many different schemes and you may end up with an e-mail in your inbox from a sender posing as the IRS. The fact is, the IRS never initiates taxpayer communications via e-mail. So if it looks like the IRS has a refund for you if you just clink on a link, don't do it. It directs you to a website for additional information. The website contains malware that will attempt to infect your computer. If you receive a message claiming to be from the IRS, please:
Do not reply to the sender, access links on the site or submit any information to them.
You may wish to forward the message as-is immediately to the IRS at phishing@irs.gov.
Several of my frineds and clients have received these bogus e-mails, so be careful. If you get something that you're not sure of, please feel free to call me if you want me to take a look at it.
Has anyone gotten any of these?
