The Scam Exposed: A new phishing site has been reported, impersonating the Internal Revenue Service. The scam uses the domain google.com.bn to trick people into giving away sensitive information.

How the Scam Works

The scammers create a fake website that looks like the real IRS website, trying to convince people that they owe money or need to update their information. They then ask for personal and financial details, such as social security numbers, bank account numbers, and credit card information.

The warning signs of this scam include poor grammar and spelling, urgent or threatening messages, and requests for sensitive information. If you receive an email or visit a website that asks for personal information, be cautious and do not respond.

Stay Safe

• Be careful when clicking on links or downloading attachments from unknown sources
• Verify the authenticity of the website by checking the URL and looking for https and a lock icon
• Never give out sensitive information online unless you are sure it is a secure and legitimate website

Remember, the IRS will never ask for sensitive information via email or text message. If you are unsure about a website or email, contact the IRS directly to verify its authenticity. Stay vigilant and protect yourself from this phishing scam.
