IRS warns of e-mail phishing scam 3:10 p.m., Aug. 2, 2006--A new e-mail scam that lures taxpayers into disclosing personal information has prompted the Internal Revenue Service to issue an alert. The phishing scam mimics an e-mal from the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS)--which allows businesses and individuals to pay their taxes online or by telephone--to attempt to get taxpayers to divulge personal nonpublic information (PNPI). The IRS advises taxpayers that it never asks for personal identification numbers, passwords or other secret access codes for credit cards, bank or other financial accounts.
