For those in the US regarding tax: The IRS has been alerted to a new email phishing scam. The emails appear to be from the IRS and include a link to a bogus website intended to mirror the official IRS website. These emails instruct taxpayers “to update your IRS e-file immediately.” The emails mention USA.gov and IRSgov, though notably, not IRS.gov (IRS-dot-gov). These emails are not coming from the IRS. Taxpayers who get these messages should not respond to the email or click on the links. Instead, they should forward the scam emails to the IRS at [email protected]. For more information, visit the IRSs Report Phishing web page. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email, texting or any social media.
