Scammers want your money!!! Now they are impersonating the IRS in order to rob your identity and clean out your bank account

Tax season is again upon us and online scams are blossoming where the crooks appropriate the name and logo of the IRS create a phony website to mislead you. The scammers will try it all with phony refund scams, audit scams, and phony emails to con you into providing your confidential data. Don't get lured in.

The IRS has provided a "fact sheet" that we thought will be helpful, it will be posted on Scamraiders home page on Monday Jan. 24, 2011 at the end of the report. Be careful and when in doubt refer to www.irs.gov
