Warning...IRS email

[RonOne]

Your federal Tax transaction (ID: **********2717), recently initiated from your checking account was rejected by the The Electronic Federal Tax Payment System.

Never seen this con before,
but as I'm a UK citizen, I thought I should bring it to your attention.

PS...I've left the last 4 digits for checking.
PPS.. No pun intended, well maybe a little one.

I get these IRS notifications too, although I am in the UK. They go straight through to my SPAM bin. along with the ones telling me I have a parcel from UPS etc etc. My advice, don't open it, mark as spam !

I've been getting some apparently British ones telling me how to claim my tax return. They are, of course, fakes just like the IRS one.

My bank account with HSBC is at risk as well (I've never banked with them).

I also received this one and put it straight in the spam bin
