My business e-mail address has been getting flooded with this. Sender’s address is allegedly noreply@irs.gov (but anyone can spoof a sender’s address). Subject line is always “Notice of Underreported Income”, however the ax ID number is something randomly generated. The first instance was immediately forwarded to phishing@irs.gov.

The IRS will never use e-mail medium for such correspondence. It will always be via US Postal Service.

The messages typically have a subject line that reads, "Notice of Underreported Income," and they encourage victims to either install the Trojan attachment or click on a Web link in order to view their "tax statement." In fact, that link takes the victim to a malicious Web site.

The IRS says not to open attachments or click on links included in e-mail that claims to come from the tax-collection agency.

The crooked IRS does not know my e-mail; therefore, I knew there were other crooks behind this.

I threw their address into my e-mail mulch bin never to arrive to my e-mail address again.

P.S.

Thank you for information. I was wondering what other crooks were behind this scam.

Interesting, and how dumb that anyone would even open it.
