Posted: Thu Apr 10, 2008 7:10 am
A series of fraudulent e-mails claiming to be from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has been sent to an unknown number of e-mail addresses around the world.
The subject line typically reads: "tax contract for XXX", although there have been variations on that theme. The e-mail contains a Word attachment that, if opened, executes a computer virus.
Do NOT open or download the attachment associated with this e-mail. Delete the e-mail if you receive it.
