The Security Mentor

"Bottom Line" publications reports that some scum have been sending email, apparently from the IRS, accusing people of having underpaid their taxes by some small amount, typically in two figures. The fake email gives an address where you're supposed to mail your payment.

Most people will pay up rather than fight over a small amount.

Then comes the really evil part. The scum have your bank name, your account number, your name, and a sample of your signature (not that anyone checks signatures). Then, on top of that, what does the IRS tell you to put in the memo field of every check you write to them? Bingo. Your Social Security Number.

Don't fall for this one, it'll really hurt.
