The IRS is advising employers to be aware of a bogus e-mail scam involving payments allegedly rejected by the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). The e-mail contains a link that, if clicked on, may result in the download of malicious software. The software is often designed to provide the scammer with personal and financial information on the employer's computer that the scammer may use to commit identity theft.
Remember:

such as EFTPS, should be reported to: phishing@irs.gov.
