Hot off the email scam presses comes this newest scam, which claims that “Your Federal Tax Payment ID: 010373 has been rejected.” The “ID number” in the subject line may change, but other than that the variationis will be very similar. This sample comes ‘from’ “CandiceOdell15573@gmail.com”, with a reply-to address of “abrown@mediaeng.com”, but these addresses also may change. In our sample, the link they are trying to get you to click claims to be “http://eftps.gov/R21”, but it really goes to https://web.archive.org/web/20111126005747/http://eftpsid3422.com:80/contacts/s3. {Ed. note: The scammers are now following up the initial mailings with follow-up mailings that say “SECOND NOTICE: Your Federal Tax Payment has been failed.” They’re an organized bunch!}
