Warning: Spammers Target AOH
Brothers,
I am afraid that a spammer has finally found us! Today, for the first time since we implemented the paaoh.org email system for the State Board, I received an email (see below) from someone claiming to be from the IRS. Even though they are offering to give you a little over $100 DO NOT respond to the email. Please delete the email or report the email as spam to your Internet provider.
I will be looking into how to setup filters so this does not happen again. If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me via email sahs01@comcast.net.
Thanks,
Tom Coughlin, Jr.
Webmaster
PA AOH State Board
This is how the bogus email reads:
"After the last annual calculations of your fiscal activity we have determined that you are eligible to receive a tax refund of $139.30. Please submit the tax refund request and allow us 6-9 days in order to process it. A refund can be delayed for a variety of reasons. For example submitting invalid records or applying after the deadline. To access the form for your tax refund, please Click Here Regards, Internal Revenue Service © Copyright 2008, Internal Revenue Service U.S.A."
I've received one of them already. - Ed Blank
