IRS Issues Warning About New Identity Theft ScamsThe IRS is reminding taxpayers to beware of identity theft scams that may use the IRS name, logo or web site address to trick taxpayers into believing that the IRS is genuinely requesting personal information or official communication. The IRS does not contact taxpayers or request personal information by email, and any communications purportedly from the IRS asking for detailed personal information should be suspect. The IRS asks that suspicious email be forwarded to the agency at phishing@irs.gov, and then deleted from the recipient's inbox. The IRS is advising individuals and other consumers to avoid the following scams that have recently surfaced: Making Work Pay credit. This phishing scam says that the Making Work Pay credit can be paid into the recipient's bank account if the recipent registers their account information with the IRS. However, most taxpayers receive the credit in their paychecks as a result of decreased withholding. Inherited fund/lottery winnings/cash consignment. This phishing scam is a multi-step scheme in which an email claiming to come from the IRS notifies taxpayers that they will receive millions of dollars in recovered funds, lottery winnings or cash consignments if they provide personal information.
