Scam Type: Tax Season Scam
The Internet has made everyday tasks more convenient—even filing taxes has become easier. In fact, the Internal Revenue Service is advocating the use of eFiling over paper filing for the 2011 tax season.
Unfortunately, the increased convenience of online tax preparation and filing has attracted phishing scams from fraudsters who pose as IRS agents. These scammers use scare tactics (threat of audit) or promise of reward (large refunds) to capture personal and sensitive information.
