Updated W2 form - IRS Phishing Scam

I almost fell for this new phishing scam, but the 3rd email used an email address the government would not know about.

 

Never trust any email attachments you get.

Important changes within the IRS Employers W-2 forms.
Attached is a updated version of the W-2 form that needs to be completed by all US based employers.

the IRS offers you convenient programs to make filing and payment easier.
Spend less time and worry on taxes and more time running your business.
Use e-file and the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) to your benefit.

If you get an email like this, ignore it or report it as SPAM. These kinds of domains are worthless and even if they have value, the offer is most likely to be a scam or a rip-off. Avoid.
