WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service warned computer users not to fall for phony e-mails that scare people into believing they are under tax investigation _ then give scammers access to their computer hard drives.

The tax agency said Thursday that the e-mail claiming to be from IRS Criminal Investigation falsely states that the person is under a criminal probe for submitting a false tax return to the California Franchise Board. Opening up an attachment to learn more about the complaint allows those behind the scam to gain remote access to the computer.

The IRS stressed that it does not send out unsolicited e-mails or ask for detailed personal and financial information, including PIN numbers, passwords or other credit card and bank information.

It said that people receiving questionable e-mails should not open attachments or click on any links. Instead, they should forward the e-mails to phishing(at)irs.gov. It said that since that mail box was opened last year, the IRS has received more than 17,700 e-mails from taxpayers reporting more than 240 separate phishing or scam incidents hosted in at least 27 countries and the United States.

Other scams try to entice taxpayers to enter a fake IRS web site and ask for bank account numbers or tell taxpayers the IRS is holding a refund for them as a ruse to obtain financial account information.

Another scam tries to set people up at birth through the birth certificate and Socialist Security Number in order to fleece the newborn until death. Surely this is the most obvious scam and no one here would fall for it !

But their dumb ass parents would open the freaking attachment on the email.

Like hell they don't. They insist on knowing everyone's most intimate financial information... stuff we'd never share with our own brothers and sisters.
