Scam Email / Fake: Notice From Department of the Treasury

Scam Email / Fake: Notice From Department of the Treasury, received today 5/16. Senior are especially vulnerable to IRS scams.

There are so many things wrong with this email to make it obvious that it is a scam, the first one is that the IRS does not email you regarding a refund or claims, you will be contacted by a letter.

Also a 501(c) (3) is not a "refundable issue" but a charity non-profit category for a business / company. You don't get a refund under any section of501(c) (3)

Other obvious facts..

1. Bad Spelling (he maner of section; and the realtionship) to name only two.
2. The fact the email was sent from "thecollegehotel.com" in Amsterdam Holland
3. That the link (removed) takes you to a website called "indopreneur" with a copy of the IRS site. This site is very dangerous as it asks for your SS# as well as Credit Card Number and CVV and your PIN Code. Can red flags be any redder?
4. There is a 4 and a 5 and 6 but why bother, this is enough, totally clear… what a fake!

eBay Phishing Scam - Never Ending Saga

We get a dozen or two of these a week, a fake eBay request for information, and regardless of the final URL the Phish is the same. No matter what link you click on it will take you to a fake eBay site that requires login. If you login, at best they now have your eBay login and password. At worst you also filled in the next page (on some of these Phishes) that asked for everything from your mothers maiden name to your social security number.

If you every receive anything that makes no sense never click on the links. For eBay go to ebay.com, log in, go to My eBay and then My Messages and read them there.
