We are aware of at least two different e-mails being received by our clients, said to be from the Internal Revenue Service. The subject line for these e-mails appears as: a) Notice of Underreported Income and b) FW: IRS Notification-Tax Refund. A copy of each form of the IRS scam e-mail is below.
The Internal Revenue Service does not use e-mail to initiate communication with Taxpayers. Therefore, if you receive any e-mail that appears to be from the Internal Revenue Service, please follow these rules:
1. Do not reply to the e-mail.
2. Do not open any attachments.
3. Do not open any link.
The Internal Revenue Service has more information on what to do and what not to do if you receive such correspondence, including how to report the scam e-mails and bogus websites. Visit http://www.irs.gov/privacy/article/0,,id=179820,00.html to learn more.
We will continue to monitor these activities to keep our clients informed and on alert.
