Officials are warning residents of a new scam aimed at targeting bank accounts and scammers say it is coming from the Internal Revenue Service. 

The scam mailer arrives in a cardboard envelope from a deliver service with a letter inside featuring an IRS masthead and the wording "in relation to your unclaimed refund." 

The letter goes on to request detailed information that identity thieves can use to file a tax refund or access other financial information. 

In a news release, IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel urged residents exercise caution. 

"This is just the latest in the long string of attempts by identity thieves posing as the IRS in hopes of tricking people into providing valuable personal information to steal identities and money, including tax refunds," Werfel said. 

In addition, officials warn of red flags throughout the letter, including poor wording and punctuation, as well as incorrect contact information for the IRS.
