Yes it's a scam. See http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=170894,00.html

Don't waste your time with this. The IRS would never contact you by email about a tax refund. And they would certainly not use the language employed in the message. It is obvious that the message came from a foreign country, and while the grammar is correct, the choice of terminology is a dead giveaway. The link will take you to a site that looks like the IRS site but is actually designed to collect your private information by having you fill out a form.

Please also don't waste the time of IRS personnel by calling them about this. They have enough to do with legitimate issues.

The real IRS NEVER EVER sends emails out telling people that they have refunds due. They don't do letters either, as well as phone calls.

These are SCAMS -- delete them, ignore them and do not be curious about them and give them any information


bostonianinmo
It's a SCAM! The IRS will NEVER contact you by e-mail. They don't have your e-mail address. Didn't you notice the fact that there is no place to put your e-mail address on your tax return?

Another dead giveaway is that the IRS does NOT copyright ANY of it's publications. Ever!

By the way, spoofing the From: address of an e-mail is childs play. It did not come from the IRS.


PBcruzr
Yes, it is a scam to get your personal info. Do not answer them!

It may be a "spoofed" address. irs.gov sounds real, but clicking on the link may take you somewhere else.

The IRS would contact you by snail-mail, not by email unless you had specifically requested them to do so.


Poe B
Yes, it is a scam. They just want to get you personal information.

If you get e-mails like this, e-mail the IRS ask them is this real? If not give them the information sent, so the can try to track down the people who sent it to you.


jeff you
i think the best way for u is to make a phone call to the IRS, and to check whether there's refund things? mails of scam is really popular, so be ware when receiving mails that brings u money......lol
