Subject: e-Services phishing scam

It has come to our attention that an email is being issued to tax preparers asking them to update their e-services information. This email WAS NOT generated by e-Services.

The links provided in the email to access e-Services appear to be a phishing scam to capture e-Services usernames and passwords.

If you receive an email like this, do not click on the links or take any other action. There is no need to call us. Just disregard the email.
