It is still true that if it sounds too good to be true, well you know the rest. Apparently taxpayers are being targeted by a scam offering them IRS refunds. The e-mails look like they are from the IRS, and they request the taxpayer's Social Security number. In some cases the e-mails promise refunds; in others they tell the recipient that he/she is under investigation. The IRS does not send unsolicited e-mails or ask for personal or financial information online. It is recommended recipients of these e-mails do not open them, but forward them to the IRS.
