That moment you dreaded has finally arrived:
That e-mail from the Internal Revenue Service saying something was wrong with your 2011 tax return.
It even referred you to the "IRS.gov" website for a review of why your filed return could not be processed.
Wait a sec. Tax returns for 2011 aren't filed until 2012. There's a distinct Nigerian smell to all this.
Scammers aren't content with duplicating site design and content of real financial institutions to dupe account holders into revealing access information.
The African cyber pirates now are masquerading as the most feared agency of the American government--with impunity, of course.
Sadly, some dwellers in the lower depths of the gene pool will take the bait and end up broke, bankrupt and homeless like many other Americans. (9 OCTOBER 2011)
