Don’t Trust Emails Fom The IRS That Say THEY Owe YOU Money

There’s word of a new email scam circulating that has become so popular its been picking up steam in the media. The email purportedly states that the IRS has made a mistake and owes you money, then directs you to a page where it proceeds to trick you into giving up all of yours.

The IRS says:

“Those who have received a questionable e-mail claiming to come from the IRS may forward it to a mailbox the IRS has established to receive such e-mails, phishing@irs.gov, using instructions contained in an article titled “How to Protect Yourself from Suspicious E-Mails or Phishing Schemes.”

It may be a pretty safe policy to just delete any email from the IRS claiming that they owe you money. It’ probably a safe bet.
