BITCOINERS: DO NOT SCAN THIS QR CODE

The IRS is warning that scammers are mailing fake, official-looking IRS letters to cryptocurrency holders directing them to a bogus “Digital Asset Compliance Portal.”

The letters include a QR code leading to a fake IRS website that may ask for personal information, wallet details, exchange credentials or other sensitive data.

Coinbase and DarkTower reportedly traced infrastructure behind the campaign to a recently registered domain hosted in Romania.

If you receive one, do not scan the QR code or provide any information.
