The Internal Revenue Service is warning Americans about an e-mail hoax that claims to be from the tax agency and asks for donations for wildfire victims.
Anyone who clicks on the donation link is taken to a fake Web site that asks for the person's bank account numbers.
Instead of using the numbers for charity, the scammers can launch a number of identity theft ploys.
