TaxGrrrl, IRS Issues Warning On New Scam Targeting Tax Professionals:
Here’s how the scheme works. First, the tax professional receives what looks like a real solicitation from a potential client. The scammer typically starts out with something innocuous like “I need a preparer to file my taxes.” If the tax professional responds to the email, the scammer follows up with a second email. That email typically has either an embedded web address or contains an attachment which the scammers allege contains the potential client’s tax information. When the tax professional clicks on the link or downloads the attachment, the scammers then collect the tax professional’s email address, password, and other private information.
Sometimes, the tax professional is tricked into responding because the emails appear to come from a legitimate source, including a friend or colleague. That’s because, the IRS warns, the friend or colleague has already become a victim.
