The Internal Revenue Service issued a consumer alert about an Internet scam in which consumers receive an e-mail informing them of a tax refund.
This scheme is an attempt to trick the e-mail recipients into disclosing their personal and financial data.
The information is used to steal the taxpayer’s identity and financial assets. The IRS does not ask for personal information via unsolicited e-mail. Additionally, taxpayers do not have to complete a special form to obtain a refund.
