This is no surprise to us. The FATCA scams have begun.
IRS Warns of FATCA Phishing Scams in multiple countries and continets.
This clearly has thye potential for financial or identity theft, fraud or even worse. We can only imagine what groups like ISIs or Al Quaeda would do if they were able to get their hands on the financial and personal data od people born in the United States.

Here is the official IRS FATCA Scam News Release.
I have been unable to locate the actual alert. If anyone else can find it, please post it.
The release is essentially what was in the article I posted and in other articles.
Note:
Hello Mr. Koskinen. That is one of the many things we have been screaming about for three years. Our sensitive information should not be sent to a foreign government or even to or own governments.
We are only too aware the IRS has an epidemic of identity theft and resulting fraud.
