Got an E mail from the "IRS" today.

They tell me that I have money coming (that they haven't found a way to keep...)

If it was really from the IRS I would say it's a sting. But what country did that email originate from? Nigeria?

It must be a scam.
#1 The IRS does not voulenteer refunds without 23 pages of paperwork.
#2 The IRS does not do anything in 3-6 days.

It's scam... :? I,ve gotten several of them from the IRS.

One of the news channels in INDY warned people against them.

Why can't we come up with a scam and make some money??? :thinking:

Hey Rob,

The last one of these you won, I asked you to drop me a few bucks in the mail. :thinking:

Well I've been checking the mail faithfully everyday and still no money. :D Did you lose my address????? :? Please advise as I have financial obligations ( such as a new TD ) which this money is supposed to be for. :lol: :lol: :lol:
