Here’s a new one, email purporting to be from the US Internal Revenue Service. It even says to not American Express or other credit cards, but use cards directly linked to your checking account. I’m thinking that the credit card companies have developed new detection methods to catch cards used by phishers and shut them down quickly.<\/p>\n

\nSubject: Internal Revenue Service – Tax Refund
\nDate: Fri, 13 Jul 2007 20:33:42 -0500<\/p>\n
Good News,
After the last annual calculation of your fiscal activity we
\nhave
determined that you are eligible to receive a tax refund of $93.82.
Please submit the tax refund request and allow us 2-4 days
\nin order
to process it.
A refund can be delayed for a variety of reason. For exemple (invalid
records or
\napplying after the deadline). The good news is that IRS
will make this refund directly to your visa and\/or mastercard linked
to your
\nchecking\/savings account instead a check or a direct deposit.
To access the form for your tax refund, please continue to our
\nsecure
form “<\/FONT>
Important: Do not use credit and\/or american express or discover cards.
Only cards that are linked to
\nyour checking\/savings account are accepted.
Regards,
Stephen Bronner
