IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig warns not to open or click on these messages, even if they claim to be from the IRS. “The IRS isn’t going to call you asking to verify or provide your financial information so you can get an economic impact payment or your refund faster.” More details are available here: https://bit.ly/39EgBRE
