IRS Warns of Recent E-Mail Scams
November 14, 2007
The IRS is issuing new warnings about a number of unsolicited e-mails that appear to come from the Internal Revenue Service.
The current scam tells recipients that they are due a federal tax refund and directs them to a website that appears to be a genuine IRS site.
The bogus sites contain forms and interactive webpages similar to IRS forms and webpages but which have been modified to request detailed personal and financial information from the e-mail recipients.
The e-mail in question asks the recipient to electronically submit a social security number, debit card number, the card expiration date and the card ATM pin so that the refund can supposedly be sent.
A similar scam appears to be a solicitation from the IRS and U.S. government for charitable contributions to victims of the recent Southern California wildfires.
The scam e-mail urges recipients to click on a link, which then opens what appears to be the IRS Web site but which is, in fact, a fake. An item on the phony website urges donations and includes a link that opens a donation form which requests the recipient’s personal and financial information.
The IRS also believes that clicking on the link downloads malware, or malicious software, onto the recipient’s computer.
