Please do not open e-mail that appears as if it is from the IRS. These messages claim you are entitled to a tax refund and request personal information to verify your identity. Often they will attach a link to a fake IRS website, have you log-in and then ask for your personal information to make it appear legitimate. When a consumer logs into the sight, the scam artist receives the user name and password. Do not click on the attached link or open any attachments and do not reply. The IRS (and financial instutions) does not send tax notices using e-mail requesting your banking information, PIN numbers, social security numbers or passwords.
