How do I know this is a scam?
1) The IRS does not care enough to send me, you or Jesus Christ himself a personalized email about a tax refund.
2) The IRS seal in this scam email is linked from Wikipedia *indicating that whoever made this is a hilariously stupid scammer*
3) Found this link in the email’s “Click here”: http://www.terast.co.jp
I hope the U.S. IRS is tracking this idiot.
