Target and Neiman-Marcus were bad enough, but now these cybercriminals have besmirched the fair name of the United States Tax Court.

From the Tax Court website homepage today, 2/6/14:

“SCAM ALERT: The United States Tax Court has been notified of individuals receiving an official looking letter/e-mail which appears to originate from the Court and solicits money from its recipient.  Please be aware the United States Tax Court does not solicit money via letter or e-mail.   If you are in receipt of such a solicitation letter or e-mail, please immediately report it to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3 – www.ic3.gov) and your local law enforcement office.”
