The Economic Impact Payment scheme

"This is currently the highest volume email scheme the IRS is seeing. Emails messages are hitting inboxes with titles like: “Third Round of Economic Impact Payments Status Available.” The IRS routinely sees hundreds of taxpayers forwarding these messages each day; the IRS has seen thousands of these emails reported since the July 4 holiday period."

I sent an email alert to my clients.  The phone numbers on the email are real, they are hoping that helps fool people into clicking the link.

I used the email to remind my clients that if I have an 8821 on file for them, I can check their account to see if there is any money outstanding and I will also receive a copy of any actual correspondence from the IRS.
