Scam Alert

Here's one to watch for at this time of the year: You get an e-mail saying that the IRS is having problems processing your income tax return. "Please fill in the blanks with your Social Security number, bank account number, etc... so we can properly process your return". Like, HELLO!!! The IRS knows your SSN -- they don't need to ask you for it!

Also, here's another one: People with outside mailboxes -- mail thieves will be looking for your income tax refund -- the one you requested as a "check". You might want to consider having your refund go via direct deposit to your bank account instead.

(Thanks to AARP for these "scam warnings").
