Beware of new "IRS Scam"

There has been a recent scam that the IRS has sent out a warning about. Beware if you receive an e-mail that tells you that you will receive $80.00 if you take part in a customer satisfaction survey! It appears to come from the IRS, and says that you have been randomly selected to participate in the survey. In return, the IRS will credit $80.00 to the taxpayer's account. IRS is referenced in both the "from" and "subject" lines of the e-mail you receive. The link to the supposed survey, also reverences the IRS, along with the official IRS Logo.

This is not legitimate! It is a scam!

The IRS NEVER sends unsolicited e-mail, or asks you for pin numbers, credit ard numbers, passwords, bank or other financial accounts!

If you should receive one of these e-mails please forward it to phishing@irs.gov.

Be careful, we all pay enough to the IRS in txes- don't lose more due to a scam perpetrated in their name!
