BEWARE OF PHONY EMAILS FROM THE IRS

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Never send personal financial data in response to unsolicited email. The IRS says scam artists are sending emails to random people, telling them they’re due for a refund or are under investigation. The message directs people to a fake IRS web site that asks for personal data. In reality, the IRS won’t contact you via e-mail.
