When you click t he link, this IRS scam email takes takes you to a web page that looks surprising official. The site asks for you name, your address, your social securty number and other personal info.
The problem: the email isn't actually coming from the IRS. You are not getting any xtra money from the government. If you fill out the form, you are in serious trouble. Your identity is stolen. If you receive any email asking for personal information, don't fall for it no matter who the email come from.
