If the IRS calls and wants you to send iTunes gift cards to resolve a back-tax problem, it's not the IRS. If a prince from Zimbabwe sends an email and wants to give you $10 million, it's not really a prince from Zimbabwe. If your investment company sends you an email that says your account has been hacked and you must enter your password now, it's probably not your investment company. When in doubt, contact the agency or company directly by calling a phone number you trust or opening a new browser to reach the company. Let's stop making it easy for thieves.
