New IRS Scam Targets Email Users


Overview


This spring, a new wave of email scams is deceiving Americans by impersonating the IRS. These fraudulent emails aim to steal sensitive information such as Social Security numbers, credit card details, and bank account information.

Deceptive Tactics


The scammers craft emails that appear legitimate, featuring the IRS logo and privacy policy. They entice victims by mentioning audits or promising refunds, urging recipients to click on a link. This link leads to a site mimicking the official IRS website, even redirecting users to the real IRS website at www.IRS.gov when they click “home.”

Warning Signs


Be aware of telltale signs of these scams. One example shows the URL http://tzk.kozle.pl in the browser's address bar. This site requests sensitive information, including Social Security numbers and banking details.

Official IRS Communication


The IRS rarely communicates with taxpayers via email. According to IRS spokeswoman Nancy Mathis, "We may send you a letter or call you, but we do not send emails."

Rising Complaints


Recently, up to a hundred complaints about email scams are received daily. The IRS has identified twelve fraudulent websites operating across eighteen countries.

Protecting Yourself


If you receive an email claiming to be from the IRS and question its authenticity, contact the IRS directly at 1-800-829-1040 to verify. To report suspicious emails, call the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1-800-366-4484. Additionally, report identity theft incidents to the Federal Trade Commission at www.consumer.gov/idtheft.

Stay informed and vigilant to protect your information from these scams.
