Email to a Friend
(KNZA)--If the email claims to be from the Internal Revenue Service, and requests personal information, it's a scam.
That message is delivered in a notification sent this week by the Northeast Kansas Area Agency on Aging.
According to the release, taxpayers have reported receiving an email requesting their IP PIN, a six-digit code that is issued by the IRS.
The email explains the taxpayer contacted must confirm the pin with the IRS by replying to the message.
The Area Agency on Aging says that should be avoided, as the IRS will never contact taxpayers by phone, e-mail, text, social media or other method to request confirmation of their IP PIN.
Anyone who has received such a message should contact phishing@irs.gov to report the incident.
