I got this from another list I'm on for my business. I thought I'd pass it along to the Vanagon listees. Walter Evens Hesperia, CA, USA 2-85GLs
***************************************************************************************************************** Identity Theft - IRS e-mail Scam SCAM METHOD: At least one state department of treasury has received information from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) about a fraudulent scam being conducted by e-mail. Some members (taxpayers) may receive e-mail from a non-IRS source indicating the member (taxpayer) is under audit and needs to complete a questionnaire within 48 hours to avoid the assessment of penalties and interest. The e-mail refers to an "e-audit" and references the IRS Form 1040. The taxpayer is asked for social security numbers, bank account numbers and other confidential information. The Internal Revenue Service does not conduct "e-audits", nor does it notify taxpayers of a pending audit via e-mail. This e-mail is not from the IRS. Please advise your members not to provide the requested information. This may be an identify-theft attempt. If you or your members receive e-mail of this nature, please contact the IRS office in your area.
PERPETRATOR : Unknown LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY: IRS Dept. of Treasury, (800) 829-0433 (Report a Suspected Tax Fraud Activity) PREVENTIVE METHODS: Advise your members not to provide the requested information.
