Phishing
+ Zoom
Criminals in phishing schemes send fake e-mails or create fake websites looking to steal personal information, such as passwords and Social Security numbers. Fraudsters often pose as people or organizations taxpayers trust or recognize. They may hack an e-mail account and send mass e-mails under another person’s name, or pose as a bank, credit card company, tax software provider or government agency.
Scam e-mails could also infect computers with malware, unbeknownst to the computer owner, giving scammers access to the device and the ability to track keyboard strokes to gain sensitive login info.
