Spam IRS email

[Margaret CPA in OH]

I just received an email of CAF suspension notice as being unable to identify me.  Although the email address is irs.gov, this person is suspicious.  So I go to the listing of source and guess what?  The originator is [email protected]>

Sigh, so sad these people have nothing more productive to do.  No way am I clicking on the  attachment to follow the instructions to regain access to my CAF.

According to the IRS, emails like this have been an ongoing problem for several years.

I think it's gotten worse since IRS published all our email addresses. The CAF thing was new to me, though.

Got the same one.
