Email scam seeks workers' W-2 forms

WASHINGTON D.C. (AP) — The IRS is warning employers about a spreading phishing email scam whose targets include companies and that seeks to get employees' Social Security numbers and other information.

Cyberthieves send emails that appear to come from executives inside the targeted organizations. The emails ask payroll or human resources departments for a list of all employees and their W-2 forms.

Organizations that receive an email should forward it to phishing@irs.gov and type “W2 Scam” in the subject line, the IRS says. They can also file a complaint with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center.
