IRS E-mail scam
Just got this in the mail from a good friend.
Don't know if this is TRUE or not, but decided to pass it along......you never know these days.... Joy
Identity theft alert from the IRS:
The Internal Revenue Service reports a fraudulent scam being conducted via e-mail that you should be on the look out for:
Some taxpayers have received an e-mail from a non-IRS source indicating that the taxpayer is under audit and needs to complete a questionnaire within 48 hours to avoid the assessment of penalties and interest. The e-mail refers to an "e-audit" and references IRS form
1040. The taxpayer is asked for social security numbers, bank account numbers and other confidential information.
THE IRS DOES NOT CONDUCT E-AUDITS, NOR DOES IT NOTIFY TAXPAYERS OF A PENDING AUDIT VIA E-MAIL. THIS E-MAIL IS NOT FROM THE IRS.
Do not provide the requested information - this may be an identity-theft attempt.
If you receive an e-mail of this nature - the source may be the address blesstheday.com, please contact the Internal Revenue Service office in your area.
~Note from Jo and JD~ This information has been checked out on the hoax sites and nothing was found. So evidently, this is happening. Please be careful and safeguard your personal information.
************************************************** *
Hope no one here, or there friends/family, have had this one happen to them.
Did you ever notice that when you put 'The' and 'IRS' together you get 'Theirs'?
Have a nice day
