With the deadline for filing a tax return approaching on the 15th, scammers are eager to capitalize on taxpayers’ urgency. In a recent campaign, scammers emailed a link to a phony website pretending to be the receiver’s tax returns. The site uses a blurred “spreadsheet” and official IRS images to bait the recipient into clicking a “download documents” button that downloads malware and allows the user to enter confidential information. To avoid tax scams like these, always double-check the sender’s email address, avoid clicking links on unverified emails, and never share sensitive data via email. The IRS will never initiate a request for financial and personal information over email, phone calls, text messages, or social media messages!
