Just Got an Email From the IRS

Posted By Pete at 6:17 PM, April 16, 2009

I just got an email from the IRS. As you all know, yesterday was tax day and I'm one of those people who wait until the last day to file my taxes. Initially, I was surprised and worried - Did the eFile not go through? Did I make a mistake on my return? It turns out the IRS wanted my social security number... Right.

So this is just a friendly reminder that we've seen (literally) an increase in IRS/tax related phishing spam lately. Always remember, the real IRS does not use email to tell you that you owe them money!
