Years ago I had them call me on a Sat. They were asking questions. I told them the IRS does NOT work on Sat. and I hung up on him.
OMG. It really was them and we were being audited.

I have had several similar type emails lately. I got one from a good friend that said they were in London and had been mugged and needed money to get home. It just so happened that I had seen them the day before and knew they weren't in London.

You have to be really careful and check everything out. NEVER give information over email. It is not secure.

Be careful when getting telephone calls also. There are people out there who are pretending to be your grandchildren and are asking for money to get them out of jail or out of Canada or Mexico. So be very careful that way also. Had a lady in Bismarck ND that fell for that one. She lost 800 to the scam. My folks were targeted also. My mon was trying to turn the phone and accidently turned it off and I told her she was lucky that happened because they were trying to get you to send them money.
