IRS Notification (for Americans) ( Archived) (8)

Jul 2, 2011 7:20 PM CST IRS Notification (for Americans)
I just got an email from IRS that said IRS Notification. It looked suspicious so I decided to do a little googling.
It turns out it is a SCAM attempt.



It pays to be wary of anything you get in your inbox that you don't ask for.

I never open anything via email that says it comes from the IRS, my bank or any other "official" government agency. If these places wish to contact you, they will do so via mail. Even when they set up a telephone interview, they send a confirmation letter through the postal system.

the IRS will not ever send you anything in email form. if you get something that says that it is IRS you know it is a scam.
