Beware of scam artists impersonating the IRS via e-mail. These e-mails are increasing in frequency as criminals get more creative and more desperate.
Have you ever seen an e-mail from the IRS asking for your credit card or debit card password and pin #'s so they may electronically deposit your refund?
It may look official, but it is bogus.
There are scam artists (impersonating the IRS) who are sending e-mails targeting taxpayers asking for banking and personal information. The IRS does not send e-mail requesting your PIN numbers, passwords or similar access information for credit cards, banks or other financial accounts.
These scam artists are searching for their next victim to commmit a fraud and steal their identity.
