To: Recipients 
Subject: Incomplete Tax information - Your Action is required

Dear Taxpayer: 

   We can't process 21 of the information returns you filed because
they're incomplete or not in the required format. Please correct and
resubmit the returns as shown below in the attached documents. If you
don't send us this information and don't have reasonable cause for not
filing the returns correctly, we may charge a penalty of up to $580 per
return ($50 for Form 5498 series). If you intentionally disregard the
filing requirements, we charge a higher penalty. Keep a copy of this
letter/attached documents for your records. Thank you for your
cooperation. Jamie L. Miller Operations Mgr., Receipt & Control This
email and any files transmitted with it are property of  Internal
Revenue, are confidential, and are intended solely for the use of the
individual or entity to whom this email is addressed. If you are not
one of the named recipient(s) or otherwise have reason to believe that

The above is the actual scammer email received. It has been scrubbed of recipient information.
If you received an email like this you have several choices.

Ignore the scammer. Do not respond to emails. Just delete them.
Respond, but only to lead the scammer on--to get a counterfeit check, to report stolen credit card numbers, and to waste the scammer's time. Time spent trying to scam you is time not spent scamming someone else.
Report the scammer to us and we'll post their emails so others will know about that scammer.

Whichever option you choose make sure you do the following:

DO NOT educate the scammer in any way. Educating a scammer makes them better at scamming the next person.
DO NOT let the scammer know that YOU KNOW they are a scammer. The scammer will always be nice to you if they think there's a chance they may still be able to scam you. If they know they've been discovered they will often threaten you. Their threats are empty, but are scary to some people.
DO NOT give the scammer any personal information that they cannot find in a phone book (name, address, and phone.) Feel free to give them lots of incorrect information.

For more information you may contact us by email, email form, or by phone at (801) 277-0888.
