Don't fall for fake IRS scheme

Internet scammers are adding the IRS logo to their emails in yet another attempt to get at your money, The Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel reports today.E-mail messages ask respondents to fill out an "updated version" of the W-2 form. That's the form most employees receive regarding their wages and taxes withheld."The IRS does not send out unsolicited e-mails regarding tax returns, financial information or any personal identifying type of information," IRS spokesman Michael Dobzinski told the Sun Sentinel.The IRS won't ask and generally won't discuss any personal tax matters by e-mail, he said.

Often the fake IRS emails contain incorrect grammar and misspellings.

Anyone receiving one of the fake emails should not open any attachments and forward the message to phishing@irs.gov or delete it, Dobzinski said.
