Beware! Thee is always some new way the identity thieves will try to get your account information by sending phishing emails, or even cold calling you on the phone.
The latest scam involves your email. If you receive an email with the subject line reading "Income Tax Refund REJECTED", do not open this email. Simply ignore it, and definitely do not click on any links provided in the email. If you do happen to open one, closely read the email - it will say the Internal Revemue Service. Reve-mue? Wrong spelling.
It is a scam. The IRS does not send emails about your refunds or personal tax information. Luis Gacia, and IRS spokesman in Detroit says, "It is a scam." He also said that the IRS never sends emails to taxpayers regarding their tax accounts or personal information. He reiterates that you should not open any emails, click on any links o respond to those emails. You may forward the email to the IRS at: phishing@irs.gov.

Have a great weekend!
