There's also, apparently, an "IRS" e-mail going out requesting donations for the "victims" of the California fires.  Again - this is bogus.  The IRS is NOT involved in the funds-raising business and would never make requests through anonymous  e-mails.

Fore-armed is for-warned.

Personally, I have a huge problem with people that fall for this kind of junk, anyway.  I mean, seriously - why would you trust an IRS memo that requests your SSN?  Doesn't it stand to reason that they already have that information?!

I just recieved an e-mail from the IRS. . . very official looking with flags flying and eagles soaring.  They tell me I have a refund coming.  All I have to do is give them info. . . my SS#, bank account, etc.
 
This is NOT the IRS!
 
I would never have opened it except I really do have some money coming back and I was rather surprised they were comtacting me this way.
 
So be advised and beware. . . trusting little old ladies should be warned about this scam.
