People who respond to the scam could become victims of identity theft or financial loss.
One scam references the Making Work Pay provision of the 2009 economic recovery law when a consumer receives an unsolicited e-mail that appears to come from the IRS and says the consumer is eligible for a tax refund.
Internal Revenue Service spokesman Clay Sanford says the agency does not contact or discuss tax account matters with taxpayers by e-mail.
