good post!

these scams pray upon people who are trusting and really want that rebate check fast!


remember---the IRS will NEVER call or email you for information that requires you to give up your SS #, bank information, etc over the phone or internet to "get you money faster"! They will send you regular mail!


I've received an email that states there's a "problem with my refund" from what looks like the IRS and you click on a website and it asks for social, bank info, address, etc.. No way am I entering that stuff!
