The email, supposedly from the IRS.gov, stated that I was eligible to receive $976.00 tax refund due to the last annual calculations of my fiscal activity. I was to complete a tax form prior to 12-8-23. There was a link to a tax return form, in which my personal information was requested. That website was trinidanrugby.com.

Scammer is attempting to use an upcoming legal requirement (Corporate Transparency Act or CTA) to direct companies to enter personal information about their officers and directors into a web-portal (non-active) that is not the one set-up by the federal government to collect the required data under the Act. Scammer's use of the English language is excellent, they are citing fines for non-compliance. It all looks legit EXCEPT the "File By" date is listed as 12/20/2023 and the CTA start date is 1/1/2024 and their website to collect data has not yet been activated.

The scammer was suppose to help with business establishment with ERC.

I’m sure that I’m not their first nor last visit.

The scammer sent text messages saying that the money would be return via Apple Pay today 11/17/2023.

This person also did a lot of fraudulent PPP loans in that same city/state during the Pandemic charging fees from the loans. This person also was an employee of the IRS.
