  • The post–Tax Day scam targeting your refund (and how to avoid it)
    The refund approved message you should never trust By Kyle James of ConsumerAffairs April 24, 2026 Scammers are sending polished refund approved messages that look like theyre from the IRS, but clicking the link can lead to stolen personal and financial information. People who filed extensions are at higher risk through October, since ongoing tax activity makes these messages feel more believable. The best defense is simple: never click unsolicited IRS links. Go directly to IRS.gov, slow down, and verify before taking action. Tax Day may be over, but scammers are just getting started. Right now, a new wave of tax scams is hitting inboxes, phones, and social media feeds across the country. The message is simple and its a highly effective way to get peoples attention: Your refund has been approved. Claim it here. For millions of Americans waiting on a refund or filing a tax extension, its exactly what they want to hear. And thats why it works so effectively. ConsumerAffairs had the chance to interview Gary Orenstein, consumer security expert at Bitwarden, about how these scams work and how to protect ourselves. What these scams actually look like These arent the obvious scam emails weve seen for years that people tend to ignore. As Orenstein explains, modern tax scams are built to look very polished and legitimate, often mimicking real IRS or tax platforms like TurboTax. They can show up as: Emails Text messages Phone calls Social media messages They use familiar language that you tend to see around refunds, credits, or account verification. Some even include official-looking logos and QR codes. But once you click, youre typically taken to a fake site designed to capture sensitive information like your Social Security number, banking details, or login credentials. From there, scammers can move quickly into identity theft or even financial fraud. As Orenstein notes, the danger today isnt that scams look suspicious, its how convincingly the scam imitates a trusted source. This rule still holds true: The IRS does not contact taxpayers by email, text, or social media to request personal or financial information. Why extension filers are at risk longer Many people assume tax scams fade after April 15,but thats not the case. If you filed an extension, you remain in the process until October 15, which keeps you in the target zone much longer.… [TheTopNews] Read More.
