As people all over America daydream of ways to spend or save their "stimulus" checks from the government, some may never get the chance to carry out their plans.

A new email phishing scam has been making the rounds, and includes an email that seems to be from the IRS, directing the reader to a site that looks like the official IRS website. It then asks the user for personal information like social security numbers, pin numbers, and bank account information to arrange for a bogus direct deposit of the check.
