_____
The Michigan Department of Treasury recently received an alert from the
InternalRevenueService about a fraudulent scam being conducted via E mail
that you should be on the look out for:
Some taxpayers have received an e mail from a non-IRS source indicating
that the taxpayer is under audit and needs to complete a questionnaire
within 48 hours to avoid The assessment of penalties and interest. The e
mail refers to an "e-audit" and references IRS form 1040. The taxpayer is
asked for social security numbers, bank account numbers and other
confidential information. THE IRS DOES NOT CONDUCT E-AUDITS, NOR DOES IT
NOTIFY TAXPAYERS OF A PENDING AUDIT VIA E MAIL. THIS E MAIL IS NOT FROM
THE IRS. Do not provide the requested information - this may be an
identity-theft attempt.
If you receive an e mail of this nature - the source may be the address
blesstheday.com, please contact the Internal Revenue Service office in
your area.
