I just got this in my email today. I clicked on it as I wanted to see what the heck they were trying to do.. and if any one got it and filed it out, they would easily have their identity stolen. the click here went to a page that had all these fillins for bank info, driver's liecent's info and mother's maiden name.

Be careful and warn others. I am going to forward this to the police or whom ever to kill this scam. Just be careful is all I wanted to let you all know.

(And I knew it was a fake as I NEVER get that much back on my taxes... Please!)

You may want to run a virus scan. Sites of scammers like that often have malware or viruses that are part of the page download.

ummmm, honey???

The IRS does not e-mail you.
Ever.

Matt is right, run your spyware and virus programs.

I know. I was letting you all know about it....

I know. I just thought to share this with all of you.

I know they don't email people and even if they did, I so didn't make enough to receive that kind of tax return.

I have already forwarded this email to the IRS.
