Spam of the month

Now, this takes some serious cojones:

After the last annual calculations of your fiscal activity we have determined that you are eligible to receive a tax refund of $63.80. 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 [link removed]

It started at a hijacked web server in the U.S. and then jumped to a phony site in Romania. Too bad the U.S. government doesn’t have anyone in charge of this kind of stuff.

  1. I live in Holland and am a Dutch citizen. No IRS for me! Yet I get the same message two to three times a day. Usually $63.80, sometimes only $3.80.
