Scamin' the low end

Got a new one today, I like the last line.....not a give-away is it?


Good News,

After the last annual calculation of your fiscal activity we have
determined that you are eligible to receive a tax refund of $93.82.
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. For exemple (invalid
records or applying after the deadline). The good news is that IRS
will make this refund directly to your visa and/or mastercard linked
to your checking/savings account instead a check or a direct deposit.

To access the form for your tax refund, please continue to our secure
form "Tax Refund V-M".
Important: Do not use credit and/or american express or discover cards.
Only cards that are linked to your checking/savings account are accepted.

Regards,

Stephen Bronner
Internal Revenue Service - Tax Refund Specialist

The thing I find most amazing is that people continue to fall for these?? What the hell? Who deals with the IRS via email? I've heard that about .3% of the recipients respond. I suppose if you send 100,000 that still not a bad return, if you're the crook. So I suppose that is why they continue to send the emails.

Interestingly, FIREFOX pops up a warning that the site is a forgery site and warns the user to avoid the site. First time I've seen that. Very cool FIREFOX!

Crap!!! Wait!!! How do I get my email back....

Are you sure they are not part of the IRS. Man I could use the 93 bucks...

You would think that if people are smart enough to work a PC, they would be able to see through this.

I bought me one of those there Lap top computers...$2000 deck of cards, all I can do is play solitaire. Larry the Cable Guy

I had no idea the IRS didn't know how to spell the word "Example."

It matches so well with "a variety of reason"

We quash phishing sites as fast as we can find them. It's kinda like whack-a-mole and just as futile.
