This warning came to us this morning. Just wanted to pass it on.


You may have received an e-mail from the Internal Revenue Service with a subject line similar to "Refund Notice." Please do no respond to this e-mail. Upon further investigation, it has been determined that this e-mail is a scam designed to try and gather personal information from you.

Do not become a victim of this or any other scam. No legitimate company or entity will ever attempt to get personal information such as social security numbers, addresses, credit card information, or bank account information via e-mail or telephone.

As far as I know, the IRS doesn't either. So many of these scams nowadays look and sound legitimate.

It's just sad the evil that lurks in some people. :mad: :mad:
