Do you want to learn about a new scam alert?

This morning, I read that the IRS is warning taxpayers about an email scam which looks like it is from the IRS and the U.S. Government seeking chariable contributions to the victims of Southern California's wildfires. People are getting trick into providing information giving access to bank accounts, applying for new loans and credit cards, or obtaining benefits in the victim's name. Email recipients of questionable messages (claiming to be from the IRS) can call a toll-free hotline at 800-366-4484.
