IRS/OPR ALERT - Tax Preparer Phishing Scam ! IMPORTANT

Copied from a NAEA Email:

 

 

 

Karen L. Hawkins, Director, Office of Professional Responsibility, has asked us to get this information out to our members ASAP!

"An email is being issued to tax preparers asking them to log into their e-services account and update their EFIN information. This email was not generated by e-services and the links provided in the email appear to be a phishing scam to capture their e-services username and password. If you receive any calls regarding this email, advise the caller not to click on the links provided, and disregard the email."

 

Falling prey to the scam could (and probably would) cause a WORLD of hurt to the EA in question.

 

So, stay safe, EAs!
