Tax Refund Fraud

Just got this email.....I wonder how many dummies will respond??


Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
United States Department of the Treasury

Dear Taxpayer,

After the last annual calculations of your fiscal
activity we have determined that you are eligible
to receive a tax refund of $184.80.

Please submit the tax refund request and allow us
6-9 days in order to process it.

A refund can be delayed for a variety of reasons.
For example submitting invalid records or applying
after the deadline.

To access the form for your tax refund, use the following personalized link:

  1. I got one very similar to yours just today. But, curiously, it had no link . I wonder if the evil ones are counting on people just replying by email. Hmmmm...........

    Anyhow, I don't see how many people could fall for this scam. However, as P.T. Barnum said, "there is a sucker born every minute"
