Text of Faux IRS Tax Refund Phishing Scam Email
I finally received one of those scam emails promising a tax refund for clicking on a faux IRS web site:

To: paul.caron-at-uc.edu
Subject: receive a tax refund of $63.80

Welcome to the club. I've received so many of these that it gave me a chance to notice that they are identical. Not a variation among the bunch. Do I get $63.80 each time I get a notice? :-)
