Please be aware of this IRS Phishing scam and let your users know of this one. If you look the link that comes with this is going to a .net address and then is rerouted to an IP address that is unresolved. This in itself should throw up bells and whistles again please be aware that this type of information gathering is all too comon and make sure that if you do give out your information you know exactly who and under secure means.
