Scam Email Posing as the IRS
, written by:
Like most people, we've gotten our share of bogus emails from scammers phishing for our personal information. Unlike most people, we actually look at the raw source of the emails to see where they've originated. Tonight we got one from the IRS -- or someone posing as the IRS -- claiming that we've got an undiscovered refund waiting for us. All we have to do is CLICK THIS LINK.
This is just a warning to others. If you get one of these, don't click. Just delete it. It's from someone with the email address of: alex@bb16ce57.virtua.com.br
That doesn't seem like an IRS email address to me. How about to you?
