I received this email today disguised as a legitimate letter from IRS. Naturally I did NOT click on any of the included links and I altered them a bit before posting here so none of you are affected either.

This one is SPECIFICALLY aimed at me as you can see by the wording at the bottom of the email as well. I traced the IP address back to Turkey...just one more attempt I see on a daily basis because my email address is public on this site.

My EIN erased from the IRS database? Awww

 

Yeah what were these bozoz thinking?

It came in HTML format and looked like an official email, of course having dealt with IRS for far more years and far more issues than I care to admit, I KNOW they do NOT send emails like that one

 

You get the best emails Lary..

 

Saw the thread title and thought for a minute that you were attacked by a turkey!!!!!!! Some people are just absolutely useless in this world.....all they do is try to ruin other peoples lives.....what a horrible way to have to live!

Glad you realized it was fake email.

 

Dang. Top is on to me again.

Maybe I should start using US proxies......

 

I submitted Cincy's email address to the link so he won't feel left out.

 

I was attacked by a Turkey this past Spring...he pulled a knife on me and i had no choice but to shoot him with my 12 ga Going to go looking for his brother around the end of October too

 

If you ever happen on a wild turkey hen with a brood, you'll have a whole new understanding of the word attack.

 

I got attacked by Wild Turkey in the squadron CO's front yard one year at a Halloween Party.

 

Nothing the IRS does is Free of Charge!

Morons.

 

My email comes through a server and the server has spam block.. Good luck with that..

 

Amen . . .

So does ours, but I still get them regularly. I can't imagine what it would be like without the blockers.

 

Except for 2 small typos
Due to a system error, the EIN of your company.... It does look pretty official.

 

Naw, I haven't seen many guvm't employees with a good command of English.
