no - the link in the email doesn't go to irs.gov - it takes you elsewhere...

In an email? Probably not.

I, too, received this email.

It's not exactly your normal phishing e-mail so I was curious.

pretty sure on the IRS webpage they say they never contact anyone via email

$620.50

refund@irs-rf.com

11/7/2008 12:03:49 PM

The '-rf' stands for ReFund

11/7/2008 12:08:31 PM

I, too, received this email with the same refund amount.

11/7/2008 12:13:07 PM

legit

11/7/2008 12:24:12 PM

TOO LEGIT
TOO LEGIT TO QUIT

Haha, I got the same e-mail. I tried some amateur tracing on the full header and found out it was sent using Mira Internet in Holstebro, Denmark. I doubt refund@irs-rf.com is a legit e-mail. I guess we could get all crazy about it and call the Danish ISP or the IRS and make a big fuss. Bet the little Dane whose behind this would like a call from the real IRS
