This is nothing more than a phishing scam and someone trying to steal your private information in an attempt to steal your identity. You can forward the message on to the following address for reporting purposes:

phishing@irs.gov

Received an email asking me to send personal data including SSN, DOB, and address to this number via fax.  Claiming to be IRS.

Got an email with this saying that the reader is a non-resident alien...as this is an office email I assumed it was spam.  For those that get this email, forward it to phishing@irs.gov

I called the IRS today, it is phishing. Do not reply, but report to the IRS anti-phishing email address.
Do not provide any information which is likely to be used for identity theft

I received a one-sentence email today (12-15-08), purportedly from the IRS, asking me to fill out two attached word documents: Form W-4100B2A1.doc and Form W-4100B2A2.doc.

It says: "Please see the attachment make sure you fill all the columns and send fax to: 1-646-731-6884."

Through my trusty ReversePhoneDirectory.com, I traced the fax number back to the Bronx, New York.

Considering the lack of conjunction (the word 'and' is missing from the sentence) this is a pretty sloppy scam. Not even the IRS is that bad at grammar!

Received this on my agency's general email.  I, too, was shocked that people opened the attachments.  That is a catastrophe waiting to happen.  My agency has a section that handles spam so I forward all questionable items to them.  How disturbing that even government computers are not immune to phishing.

Hi, I got the same message. I will report this to the IRS. Check their web site. They say on their web site that they don't send unsolicited emails and warn for identiy theft. They give an email address where you can send such examples: phishing@irs.gov.

I just got the same message asking me for bank accounts information and fax it to 646-731-6884.

Just got same email

Received an email from "nonereply@irs.gov" asking me to fill in two forms that are attached and fax to this number.  No such forms on IRS site.  Don't open - it can be a virus or someone looking to get your personal information.

I just received the same info.  any way to report this?

Requstinf business information to be be faxed to them at 646-731-6884

I received several emails on my business accounts with the same attachments as those listed above. This is a phishing scam and it can be reported at this address:

phishing@irs.gov

I'm shocked that the folks here actually opened the Word attachments. Some of the very earliest computer viruses came in the form of scripts embedded in Word documents. Relying on anti-virus software to protect you against something so blatantly criminal is not a good idea. Advice to the wise: Don't open this sort of attachment in the future!

TOTAL SCAM!!  DON'T FAX INFO BACK!!

email with 2 attachments / w-4 forms asking for SSN + personal info --obvious scam ...DO NOT PARTICIPATE

nonreply@irs.gov email address...

Using the IRS Name for a SCAM.
Email came with two attached word documents relayed from a sprintpcs user.
(68-247-106-202.pools.spcsdns.net [68.247.106.202])
The scam asked for a form "FORM W-4100B2 (US Tax Recertification)" to be filled out.
Apparently there are multiple telephone numbers and area codes being used with the same format. (according to this blog http://rapidcityjournal.com/blogs/editor/?cat=7)
The attached files don't appear to do anything destructive.

sent email to business saying to fill out Form W-4100B2 Scammer.  said to fax to 1-646-731-6884. yeah right.  That number is at an place in Manhattan, New York and it is not the IRS.

Rec'd an email requesting that I fill out attached W-4 form and fax to them

e-mail:
Please see the attachment and send fax to: 1-646-731-6884.

email requesting that I fill out a W-4 form and fax to them
I'm assuming this is not legitimate as IRS always uses the postal system.

Appeared in a spam email supposedly from the IRS requesting that I fill out a form and fax to this number.

Appearing in a spam letter from IRS asking you to fill in a form and fax to this number.
