IRS Refund Email Hoaxes

Warning! Warning! There is a hoax email out there right now purporting to come from IRS, asking for you to click on a link and provide info in order to get a refund that they can’t apply. DO NOT RESPOND. DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK. It is a hoax, and a phish for those who know what that is … someone trying to scam you out of your identity info. NOTE: The IRS never, ever, ever uses email for contact.

Additionally, there are recent hoax emails purporting to collect donations for the California fires and other disasters. Again, hoaxes, do not respond.
