Many of our clients have expressed concern after receiving intimidating emails they thought were from the IRS. Phishing scams seem to come in waves, and the most recent wave we're seeing involves fake messages such as "your federal tax payment has been rejected".

Identity theft is the typical goal of these messages as they try to entice you to go to a web site to enter personal and financial information.
