Scam involving IRS

[kmiller1]

That's a new one on me. If you can identify the host ISP, forward it with full headers to abuse@(isp). They are usually pretty quick to respond. Between my 3 email accounts, I get about 40 phishing scams per day.

Received another one today....Are there idiots out there who actually fall for these damn scams????

If anyone is ignorant enough to fill in the information on that particular link, they've got issues.

The link remains... to show everyone what it points to.

David, filled in the name 'U R Stupid' with a bunch more fake number and the site actually came back and said my credit card number was not vaiid . . . he's hooked in somewhere to verify information . . . and I'm sure the amount he's stated in the e-mail message is more than likely what they'll take out of your account . . . and I'm sure they will get folks to sign in and sign up for the refund.

David I understand your position, however....

Big picture now. Large search engines(Google, Yahoo, Ask) will penalize sites who link to known 'bad' sites (I guess guilty by association). You can be hurting this forum's search engine position, and thereby hurting us all.
