DID YOU KNOW: that Scammers are spreading a computer virus with e-mails about tax transcripts?

 Yes, scammers are now spreading a computer virus with e-mails about tax transcripts. The message may look like it’s from IRS, but it isn’t. Don’t open the e-mail or any attachments! The virus will spread throughout your computer network, and it could take months to clean it out.

 If you get one of these messages, delete it and/or forward it to IRS at phishing@irs.gov.

 If you get one at work, you should tell your IT department, too.
