There is new phishing scheme that professes to be from the IRS Office in London. The sender states that he is an IRS employee and asks you to pay a transfer charge or processing fee in order to obtain a substantial sum of money. Do not reply to this attempt to gain your personal information or your money. This is a hoax and the matter has been reported to our criminal investigators for appropriate action.
