Don't fall for this "IRS" scam!
It’s usually not good news when you get contacted by the IRS. So, if one day, an email from the Internal Revenue Service shows up in your inbox, you’re bound to take it seriously. Well, don’t. In fact, ignore it. Make no mistake: The IRS will get in touch with you if you owe them money. But they’ll never contact you through e-mail or text message. They’ll only do it by the good ol’ U.S. Mail. But scammers don’t want you to know that. One scheme is sending out e-mails from “The Department of Treasure”…which is an obvious red flag!
