I got an email that says the IRS owes me $93.67 for some kind of refund. They wanted my social security, name, address, etc... I definitely didn't think this was legit and my son looked at it and it's not. I did go on the IRS website and found out how to report it. Just wanted to give all of you a heads up on this. Just a reminder to never give out your social security number and personal information unless you initiate it.

Thank you. Its always good to be reminded especially this time of year.

You are so right! we get a lot of calls about that email or emails like that one.
the IRS does NOT email people. We don't know your email addy. LOL

Thank you for the information. It still amazes me how some people will STILL give out their private information just because an e-mail 'says' it's from the IRS or a bank.

I got an e-mail from Wachovia last week wanting me to update my information by clicking on the link provided. I don't even have an account at Wachovia!! It had a 1-800 phone number and really looked real. So just being curious, I called the 1-800 number and a recording said the number was not in service!!!

Just hit that delete button!!

I got the same type of email today. Mine says I get a refund of 390.23.
I get these type of emails all the time at my aol email address. It is not the address we use for anything financial. it is the email I use to sign up for free stuff and posting on boards etc.. So I am sure someone picked up my email from there. Also I get emails all the time from AOL about my billing. Of course this is not my primary account name so I know it is not legit. If it was they would send it to my primary account name and since I get aol free I dont see how they could have a problem with my credit card. LOL. There are so many scammers out there it isn't funny.

There is also a scam by telephone for jury duty and they try to get your information ....its verified by snopes
as a real scam so be careful, if this is a repost sorry.
