EIN Number Email Scam
Good morning everyone,
As you know, you are required to have an EIN number for your investment clubs. This is your IRS business identification number, similar in many ways to your Social Security number.
Just so you are aware, there are bogus emails out recently with Subject lines such as "Change of Your EIN is Required". They are meant to look like they have come from the IRS, and contain a link you are supposed to click. Don't do it. The link contains a virus that could infect your computer or you could be directed to a site where you will be asked to provide your sensitive financial information to thieves. Just delete the email or forward it to phishing@irs.gov.
Just so you know, the IRS NEVER sends unsolicited emails about your tax account or tax matters. NEVER.
