EVER! The IRS makes initial contact on any tax matters via USPS First Class mail. Forward the e-mail to: phishing@irs.gov BTW, when an e-mail tells you to enable ActiveX or Java Scripts there's an excellent chance that it is pointing you to an infected website. NEVER click on a link in an e-mail that purports to come from the IRS or any unknown correspondent! The IRS will NEVER contact you by e-mail. EVER!

It seems like a fraudulent email who wants to steal your personal info. Also, ignore the other 2 answerer's website links as they have been spamming yahoo answers in every post. Anyway, i suggest you ignore email. If your still unsure about this, perhaps contact the irs. http://www.irs.gov/contact/index.html Your gut feeling seems right to me.

Also, the attachment may have a virus. The IRS does not send unsolicited e-mails, ever. Also, anything written by the federal government (including the IRS) cannot be copyrighted. The IRS does not ask for ATM PIN #'s, ever. Anyone requested that information is going to steal money from your bank account. There is no legitimate reason for anyone to request it. That page is not really part of the irs.gov site. It is a cleverly designed fake. Yes, it is a fraud. Also, the attachment may have a virus. The IRS does not send unsolicited e-mails, ever.
