Hmmmm .... I probably would've gone so far as to check into it. A couple things that make me curious is the fact that there is a copyright symbol ... but this is supposed to be a federal/government agency. I didn't know that the IRS needed to copyright anything.

If it is a farse ... wouldn't these people be in some big time trouble for claiming to be feds ??

But you know, we will all hear about how some old lady had her saving stolen by this scam.

I believe I've heard about this or similiar scams. If you go to the IRS website, I "believe" it says it will never ask you to click any links or give any information out over the web.
