Scammers are mailing realistic fake IRS letters with QR codes designed to steal digital assets and personal data from taxpayers. Fraudsters are sending counterfeit letters designed to look like official IRS correspondence, complete with references to real tax years and urgent-sounding deadlines, all directing recipients to a “Digital Asset Compliance Portal” that doesn’t exist.
