New Fake IRS E-mail

Posted by taxguru on September 12, 2009

Snopes.com covers this latest phony email pretending to be from the IRS.  Sherry actually received one of these the other day and wondered if it was real, until I explained that IRS does not send out emails to people.  Their notices are sent via snail mail.

As I advised Sherry, anyone receiving these kinds of emails should forward them to the special IRS email address that was set up to handle this growing problem:  phishing@irs.gov

Hopefully, IRS is using these emails to hunt down and nail the scammers who are sending these out.
