A new tax-related phishing scam targets self-employed individuals and small business owners in the US. The scam email directs victims to a fake website impersonating the IRS and tricks them into entering personal and financial information, including their Social Security Number, to obtain a fraudulent Employer Identification Number. The scammers charge money for the fake EIN even though it is free from the real IRS. The scam aims to steal identities and commit tax fraud.
