Email Scam of the Day

Tis the season for this type of email scam.  I got one this morning:

From: refund@irs.gov

Internal Revenue Service
Online Refund Form

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

Please submit the tax refund and allow us 3-9 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, please click here.

Did you know the IRS copyrights their emails? That's the first clue this is bogus.

I took out the link, but if you checked it it didn't got to a legitimate irs.gov site, but a fancy redirect that might fool somebody who wasn't paying attention.  Stay alert.  The IRS doesn't run around looking for people to give money to.
