Okay ~ am I suppose to believe that the IRS is gonna send me an email without any reason offering me money and just out of the blue? This one really bothered me though because it looks really legit!

the IRS usually sends you a letter and will send you a check if they were wrong

Well, it's not like I don't think they don't owe me or anything ~ but I don't want to clink the link. I'm to chicken!

I wonder if there is anything on their website about fake emails ~ gonna have to check it out!!

:nono: Don't fall for it Tammy! It is not real. I have been getting these for the past month or so. There is no way that they would even have my email. Someone is phishing you!

I would like to forward the email to them though like I do with Paypal and eBay ~ not that they will ever do anything about it though! It would be really easy to fall for one though!
