Tax Notification Scam

Tax Notification Scam

 

Don't fall for the latest email scam that tries to bait you into thinking you're due a refund from the IRS!  It looks something like this:

 

Internal Revenue Service (IRS)

United States Department of the Treasury
————————————————

After the last annual calculations of your fiscal activity we have determined that you are eligible to receive a tax refund of $134.80.

 

Please submit the tax refund request and allow us 6-9 days in order to process it.

 

A refund can be delayed for a variety of reasons.  For example submitting invalid records or applying after the deadline.

 

To access the form for your tax refund, click here (with a link to a bogus website that LOOKS very authentic designed to suck your personal information (social security number, credit card and your ATM Pin number right out of you!)
