WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! It's tax refund season, and the scammers are after your money. I just got one of the newest attempts at a scam claiming to be a notice from the IRS. Listen up! The IRS DOES NOT send emails. The IRS DOES NOT call and threaten people or make payment arrangements on the phone. The one I got moments ago claimed it was verifying receipt of my payment. Well, ELL knows that she didn't send any money to them recently, so a very obvious scam.
To be on the safe side, NEVER respond to an email if you did not initiate contact. Hover over the email address of the sender and most likely it is not an official email. Always initiate entry to the official website on your own.
