Title: I'm worried the IRS has a problem with my tax return
Post by: screenxpress on June 20, 2011, 11:35:43 AM
I received this email today to my screenxpress account -  I'm going to jump right on this. 

Oh wait, I've already gotten my refund.  Could this possibly be a scam?  You don't suppose they would accept a copy of my SS card for #3, do you? 

Normally I just delete these without reading, but this morning I was just curious.  Okay, this is like find Waldo.  I see 2 spelling errors and 2 grammar errors.  Did I miss any on this really important official notification?  LMAO.

Send back asking them for a phone number you can call to talk to someone about this.

LOL, I know some like to taunt the scammers, but I just don't really care to start a dialog...AND... to let them know the email is a working one.  Just thought it was funny.

To me that looks like something sent by a typical government employee.
