You all got to love this email I received today.
Does this scam artist believe that someone is going to take this bait?
Note the lower half of the email where it states…
Important: Do not use credit and/or american express or discover cards. Only cards that are linked to your checking/savings account are accepted.
[FONT=Courier New]This is Francis V. from the Refund Operations Department at Internal Revenue Service(United States Department of the Treasury).
**After the last annual calculation of your fiscal activity we have determined that you are eligible to receive a tax refund of $103.82. ****Please submit the tax refund request and allow us 2-4 days in order to process it. ****A refund can be delayed for a variety of reason.

**The good news is that Internal Revenue Service will make this refund directly to your visa and/or mastercard linked

I got that email today also. Perhaps that is why the U.S. is so heavily in to debt. Your IRS is giving people like me, who are not even American, tax refunds.
I ran a friend’s store when I was an undergrad. He was behind on paying his sales tax to the state of GA, and they sent out 2 Revenue agents. Their names? Hunt and Slaughter. I fell off my stool when they showed me their ID. They were not as amused as I was! :shock: :shock: :shock: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

That’s a new one on me. If you can identify the host ISP, forward it with full headers to abuse@(isp). They are usually pretty quick to respond. Between my 3 email accounts, I get about 40 phishing scams per day.
Received another one today…Are there idiots out there who actually fall for these damn scams???

David, filled in the name ‘U R Stupid’ with a bunch more fake number and the site actually came back and said my credit card number was not vaiid . . . he’s hooked in somewhere to verify information . . . and I’m sure the amount he’s stated in the e-mail message is more than likely what they’ll take out of your account . . . and I’m sure they will get folks to sign in and sign up for the refund.
