U.S government officials are warning of a growing online presence of phishing scams taking advantage of the current US tax season.

Instead of banks or other financial institutions as the purported sender of these scams, the US IRS is being portrayed as the sender of the emails. It is believed the scams are regularly asking recipients for social security details and credit card details.

IRS representatives say that their officials would never ask for such information via email.
