Breach of User Agreement

I just got an Email that smells like a scam. It was suppose to be coming from the IRS about something called Breach of Security Agreement and if I dont restore my access within 48 hours  I could lead to a loss of my account and documents after a period of time. This smells like a fraud. What is your opinion?

Fraud. Phishing. Scam.

IRS had something about it on their website recently.

The more I know, the more I don't know.

Your sense of smell appears to be working fine.

If you see links in the email offering what to click for where to go fix this, that would be a scam.

...... Although, very honestly, part of me wanted you to click that link and come back later to tell us about the rabbit hole.  

However, the other part of me said to tell you: RUN TO THE HILLS.  IT'S A SCAM!!!

BTW, I also have a bridge to sell.  Interested?
