The Internal Revenue Service is warning about yet another bogus e-mail that looks like it was sent by the agency. The scam offers recipients $80 for participating in an online survey.

Delete these emails, please. Since they are circulated with the so-called viral marketing, maybe, sometimes you will see
that they originated from WSEAS or IEEE or IEE etc...

Simply, they are bogus emails that try to cheat you.

The WSEAS Friends and of course anybody must delet them, must not reply and must not open any attached file that might contain.

Along with customer-satisfaction questions, the survey asks participants for their name, phone number, and credit-card data. The information will probably be used to call the participant later in an attempt to get other financial details, which could enable the scammers to withdraw funds from bank accounts, run up charges on credit cards, or take out loans in the victim’s name. The IRS says it never sends unsolicited e-mail.

(The WSEAS organization and several WSEAS Members have already received those emails ) 

Earlier this year, the IRS and the Federal Trade Commission issued warnings about e-mail that appears to come from either agency but is actually an attempt to install malicious software on computers. The fake IRS e-mail includes a link or attachment that you are instructed to open or click on for more information. Doing so can infect your computer with a virus that allows the spammer to take over your machine remotely. Click here for more information from the IRS on email scams.

The FTC warning concerned a bogus e-mail supposedly sent by the Federal Trade Commission but actually sent by third parties hoping to install spyware on computers. The spam poses as an acknowledgment of a complaint filed by the recipient, and includes an attachment. Consumers who open the attachment to this e-mail unleash malicious spyware onto their computer.

So, please, protect yourself from these bogus emails and report this SCAM to the authorities

This is important, because with our tolerance this scam is increasing and the fraud will be a great threat for us.

Up to now, we have not received complaints from the WSEAS people, but who knows......
