Fraudsters offer IRS Tax Refund


McAfee Avert Labs has received reports of a new phishing attack that purports to be from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This email attack is similar to IRS phish campaigns seen before and offers victims a $375.20 refund directly to their credit card for filling in an online form.
The phish is hosted on a legitimate website based in the United States that deals with special effects for Halloween and movie props.

The phish page is a rip-off of the original IRS website and the online form asks for the victim’s name, social security number and credit card details. In addition to these CVC/CVV2 and ATM pin number details are required. Makes you wonder how many people would still give such information in their eagerness to get a refund given it is the middle of the tax season.
