PITTSBURGH,None — Channel 11 has a warning for you about an email that looks like an official notice from the Internal Revenue Service. The email is actually a computer virus.
The email has an irs.gov domain, and it's creating havoc for computer users.
"The IRS never contacts a taxpayer about their account over email, so if you receive such a communication, chances are you're looking at a scam," said Dianne Besunder with the IRS.
Federal officials are working to trace the emails and said they may be coming from eastern Europe.
If you believe you may have received a suspicious email, you are asked to contact the IRS.
