IRS Scam possibility

Don't know if there is anything to this but it's worth posting:SCAM ALERT: The Michigan Department of Treasury recently received an alert from the Internal Revenue Service about a fraudulent scam being conducted via E-Mail that you should be on the look out for. Some taxpayers have received an E-Mail from a non-IRS source indicating that the taxpayer is under audit and needs to complete a questionnaire within 48 hours to avoid the assessment of penalties and interest. The E-Mail refers to an "E-Audit" and references IRS form 1040. The taxpayer is asked for social security numbers, bank account numbers and other confidential information. THE IRS DOES NOT CONDUCT E-AUDITS, NOR DOES IT NOTIFY TAXPAYERS OF A PENDING AUDIT VIA E MAIL. THIS EMAIL IS NOT FROM THE IRS. Do not provide the requested information - this may be an identity-theft attempt.
