Tax Refund Notification

Phish Bowl Alerts

This phish is so "last year", attempting to lure the recipient with a refund for the Third Round of Economic Impact Payments, which was processed in early 2022. See also the IRS page Tax Scams/Consumer Alerts for a list of common scam and the reminder that the IRS doesn't initiate contact with taxpayers by email, text messages or social media channels to request personal or financial information.
