IRS Warns Public About Identity Theft Email Scams
Identity theft is a growing concern, and the IRS is alerting the public about email scams impersonating the agency. It's important to recognize that the IRS will never contact you via email to request personal or financial details.
Recently, the IRS has seen a rise in scam attempts. Since November, 99 scams have been identified, with 40 occurring during tax season and another 20 in June. These scams often originate from various countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, England, and even the United States.
The IRS emphasizes that it will never send unsolicited emails asking for sensitive information such as bank accounts, PINs, or credit card numbers. Protecting this information is crucial to prevent identity theft.
If you receive suspicious emails claiming to be from the IRS, don't respond. Instead, forward them to phishing@irs.gov for investigation. This helps the IRS identify and mitigate scam threats.
In case of identity theft, the Federal Trade Commission offers resources at [www.consumer.gov/idtheft](http://www.consumer.gov/idtheft/index.html). Always exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of any request for personal information.
