Yet another wave of the EFTPS Phishing Scam targeting Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) users is going around. The scheme uses an e-mail claiming that a tax payment was rejected and directs the user to a website for more information. The website contains malware that will attempt to infect the user's computer. DO NOT reply to the sender, access links on the site or submit any information to them. IRS does NOT send emails regarding your individual or business account.
I personally received more than 5 of these emails today. If you need to check the status of your payments, log on DIRECTLY to your EFTPS account and click on the left hand side "Check Payment History". You can verify status of all payments there.
