One Beacon
shares that as the April 16 tax filing deadline approaches, there has been an uptick in phishing scams targeting consumers along with HR managers. This corporate angle features emails supposedly from company executives soliciting employee W2s along with other sensitive payroll information. Any such email requests should be considered suspicious and followed-up with an email or phone call to verify the sender's identity. Be mindful of this aggressive campaign and refer to these IRS tips as a potential resource.
