E-mail Scam IRS Stimulus Payments

Per usual scammers are using e-mail scams to try to steal your personal information. Social Security numbers, Bank Account information and more. The new scam comes as an e-mail appearing to be from the IRS asking you to provide personal data to ensure delivery of your stimulus payment. The IRS or any government agency will ever solicit this type of information by e-mail.

Users receiving this type of fraudulent IRS e-mail are encouraged not to click on any links contained therein and to forward the message and the website URL to the IRS at phishing@irs.gov.
