Scam Notice

Hi everyone,

CLAIR has asked me to forward you the following information:

'''For the past several years, there has been a scam going on to collect personal information of US nationals living abroad. It claims to be a contact information check and includes a form to fill out all kinds of vital personal information...Please notify the US JET participants in your prefecture to not fill out any sheet faxed to them claiming to be from the IRS. The IRS will NEVER fax you.'''

Apparently someone in the CLAIR office received this fax just recently, and I have received it in the past. The short story: if your contracting organization gives you a fax from the "IRS", throw it out! It's a scam. Non-Americans, sorry to bother you - I'm sure if you got a fax from the IRS you'd know there was something up from the get-go ;)

Take care, Tiffany
