E-Mail Scam - Beware Of "Stimulus Payment" IRS E-Mail
Scam
Don't believe it if you get an e-mail that appears to be from
the Internal Revenue Service saying you're due for a stimulus payment.
According to the IRS, it's part of the latest tax-related phishing scam
designed to get personal information from you such as bank account or Social
Security numbers. These e-mails, often bearing the IRS letterhead, tell users
they must fill out and submit a form in order for the stimulus payment to be
processed. The message then says to follow a link to a website or to complete
an attached document.
Remember, the IRS does NOT send unsolicited e-mail about tax account matters
to taxpayers. Should you receive an e-mail claiming to be from the IRS, DO
NOT REPLY, CLICK ON ANY LINKS, OR PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION. Users receiving
these fraudulent IRS e-mails are encouraged to forward the message and the
website URL to the IRS at phishing@irs.gov.
After you forward the e-mail, delete the message.
If the IRS ever needs to contact you about a tax refund or audit, they will
do so by traditional mail. When you need to access the IRS website to get
information or download forms, initiate contact by typing the www.IRS.gov address into your browser window.

Ask The Help Desk - Can I Paste Text From A Webpage Without
Tables Appearing?
Question: When I'm researching new recipe ideas, I
like to copy and paste text from webpages to a document. Often when I do
this, the text from the webpage shows up encased in boxes or tables. This is
annoying—I just want the text by itself. Is there a way to prevent this
formatting from appearing? I use Windows Vista, Internet Explorer 7, and
Microsoft Works Word Processor.
Answer: I agree that those boxes and tables from webpages can become
an aggravation when you're working in a document created in your word
processing program. Fortunately, there's an easy little trick to eliminate
them. Select the text from the webpage you would like to copy. While in
Microsoft Works, choose "Paste Special" from the Edit Menu instead
of selecting "Paste" like you would normally do. A "Paste
Special" dialog box will appear. Choose "Unformatted Text"
from the list of options and then click on "OK." All the webpage
text will appear in your document, but without the formatting. If you want to
grab pictures along with the text when you use "Paste Special,"
choose "Formatted Text." With this choice, you'll see the webpage
with pictures and some formatting. You may also get unwanted links or
addresses, but those can be easily deleted in your document. Most word
processing programs offer the "Paste Special" option including
Microsoft Word.
