BEWARE people in the US (this IS an international site after all)..they are just a phishing attack. DELETE them as soon as you find them...The IRS doesn't work that way.... The IRS sends agents to your door instead. Here's Snopes on the last attack..I just got one tonight so I might be on the foretide of the mass phishing attack. www.snopes.com Here's what it looks like inside the e-MAIL.. from Internal Revenue Service <service@irs.gov> reply-to service@irs.gov, to date Oct 31, 2007 9:41 PM subject Notification - Taxpayer Advocate Service(Tax Refund) hide details 9:41 PM (22 minutes ago) Reply Images are not displayed.
