Evil IRS Tax Refund Phishing Scam

Evil IRS Phishing Spam

Evil IRS Phishing Spam

The phishing scams just keeps getting worse. Here’s an example of a truly evil one hosted at INJE University in Gimhae, South Korea (203.241.250.99).

The spam email links to a phishing site that tries to trick people into entering their Social Security number and credit card information in order to receive an IRS tax refund. It’s nice how they recommend closing your browser for security reasons after they have ripped you off.
