IRS warns taxpayers of fraudulent e-mail
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is warning taxpayers that an identity theft
operation is attempting to trick users into revealing sensitive personal data
by sending them e-mails claiming the user is being investigated for tax fraud.
The e-mail tells users they can dispute tax fraud charges by logging onto a
website with their Social Security number, credit card number, or driver's
license number. Thieves can use such data to make false identity documents and
fraudulent purchases. Neither the Treasury Department nor the IRS deals with
taxpayer account issues over e-mail.
