Be on the lookout for an email from the IRS. . . .
If you receive an email in your inbox saying the IRS has calculated your "fiscal activity" and that you are eligible to receive a tax refund of a certain amount, delete this email.
If you click on the link, you or type in the web address, you are sent to a website named "Get Your Tax Refund!" This site mimics the appearance of the genuine "Where's My Refund!"
Like the real site, taxpayers are asked to enter their Social Security Number and filing status. However, the phony site then asks for you credit card account number instead of the amount of the refund as shown on your tax return.
Always remember, the IRS doesn't contact taxpayers via email to advise them of refunds or to request financial Informaiton
