Hi.
I have received an email relating to a US tax invoice ( DOH ! ): No attachment was incuded.
Your Federal Tax Payment ID: 010375101 has been rejected.
Return Reason Code R21 - The identification number used in the Company Identification Field is not valid.
Please, check the information and refer to Code R21 to get details about your company payment in transaction contacts section:
hxxp://eftps dot gov/R21
In other way forward information to your accountant adviser.
EFTPS:
The Electronic Federal Tax Payment System
PLEASE NOTE: Your tax payment is due regardless of EFTPS online
availability. In case of an emergency, you can always make your tax
payment by calling the EFTPS. <
A scam email that is flagged by thunderbird as a scam.
I sent the link to virus total but it came back clean, However cch.com says:
( hxxp://hr.cch.com/news/uiss/100410a.asp )
‘The IRS has issued a warning about a fraudulent scheme targeting Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) users. The scheme uses an e-mail claiming that the user’s tax payment was rejected and directs the user to a website for additional information. The website contains malware that will attempt to infect the user’s computer.
The IRS does not initiate taxpayer communications through e-mail. If an individual receives a message claiming to be from the IRS or EFTPS, he or she should not reply to the sender, access links on the site or submit any information to the sender. Report and identify the e-mail or other phishing, e-mail scams and bogus IRS websites by forwarding the e-mail or URL information to the IRS at phishing@irs.gov.’
So this seems a recently new infected site, if so will avast add it to its database ?
