I got this from another list I'm on for my business.  I thought I'd pass it along to the Vanagon listees.

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.
