I received an email today from “refund@irs.gov” here’s what it said:

After the last annual calculations of your fiscal activity we have determined that you are eligible to receive a tax refund of $109.30. Please submit the tax refund request and allow us 6-9 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

Regards,
Internal Revenue Service

Apparently, this is the latest in the Nigerian vein of internet scams. I wonder if anyone has fallen for it yet? Luckily, it ended up in my spam folder. I also thought about it, the IRS does not usually communicate via email, almost everything (the good and the bad) comes via the postal mail with them.

I did file etax (through turbotax), however, even when I do that, the IRS communicates via postal mail rather than email.
