I got a new phish today... saying I was due an IRS tax refund for $800. All I had to do was log in, give them my SS#, DOB, a valid credit card number, and credit card details, and they would deposit the money RIGHT AWAY into my credit card account!

I forwarded it to the IRS for investigation. The IRS does not apply refunds toward credit cards, and they do not even take credit cards without your paying a fee to use them. There is no end...
