Phishing email scam Maybe you all have heard of this one - I had not. I got an email from service @ irs.gov saying that I was owed an additional refund from last year's taxes for $99.36. There was a link to click to get the refund. Of course, I knew it was a scam - but it looked so REAL! I went to the IRS website and found an example phishing email they had posted on their website. It was IDENTICAL to the one that I had gotten. Click on this link to see the example from the IRS. The email that I got was exactly the same, with the same blue banner, minus the background that says "Sample of a phishing email" http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-utl/phishing_email.pdf It makes me so mad though, because I know that some people will believe it - because it looks so OFFICIAL! |
I got the same one!!! I never clicked on the link though, if I'm suspicious about something I have my husband open it at his work. |
