IRS rebate scam

Just a note from the radio: some evil person is sending out a email notice that looks like an IRS email stating if you fill out the enclosed form you might be eligible for a rebate. Don't click the link! It's a scam. IRS never sends emails! They communicate with you by mail or phone, never email. Either delete immediately or forward to www.phishing@irs.gov Remember, don't open the link.

Thanks for the info.

Yes they will contact by mail... 3 years later with penalties and late fees. Then tell you that you owe them x amount of money for a mistake in 2005. Well why didn't you tell me about it before and I would not have to pay late fees or penalties. Or I would not have to come up with ways (deductions) to get my back from you. People wonder why I have NO respect for the Gov.

Hey, it sounds like you're going through what I'm going through, too! Yesterday, after two years of fighting it, the IRS realized the $3k that they wanted from me was their mistake (from 2005) but then decided (without doing any research of course) that my 2006 and 2007 returns must be wrong so I should "still pay the indicated amount." OMG.

I'm really afraid my accountant may kill someone soon if this doesn't get rectified. 8O
Yes Jill I'm the same boat 3k. 2k federal and 1k to the state. It was only $15oo w/o the penalties and late fees. Funny, they contacted me with a letter on Jan 31 on this year (1st contact) stating I owe 3k... due Feb 4th. How about a little notice. I've only had the same Po Box for years now.

We've sent in 9 identical copies of the info they needed 9 different times. Every time it was either lost or they were "working" on it, then lost it. They went ahead and "absorbed" the $1200 stimulus check from last year in the meantime, towards the debt I don't even owe them. In all fairness, I think they did that after they'd lost all the paperwork only 5 times so how could they have known?

I've never gotten so much certified mail in my life.
