Go Phish.

One of my clients called me this morning and asked about an email he received, purportedly from the IRS. I told him that, in general, the IRS doesn’t send out emails. The email he received told him that he had a “small” refund coming, and to click on a hyperlink to enter in some “minor” personal information to get the refund.

It’s a phishing scam. According to snopes, this has been around for a year or so. The Washington Post ran a story on this last week. And the IRS itself has issued its own warning.

So don’t click on the link. Never give out your social security number, bank account information, or other personal information to a website. Because if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
