Latest Scam/Virus

I received this email today, it comes with an attached PDF file which naturally I did not open. These people just NEVER give up

"nsert IRS Logo Here"

Sir/Madam,

Our records indicate that you are a Non-resident. As a result you are exempted from United States of America Tax reporting and withholdings on interest paid to you on your account and other financial benefits. To protect your exemption from tax on your account and other financial benefits, you need to recertify your exemption status and enable us confirm your records with us.

Therefore, you are to authenticate the following by completing form W-4100B2 and return to us as soon as possible through fax numbers no + 1-281-605-1890. (Houston TX Cell Phone, I looked it up)
When completing form W-4100B2, please follow the steps below:

1. We need you to provide your permanent address if different from the current mailing address.
2. You must indicate as a Non-US resident, the country you are residing, to support your non-resident status and if your bank or other financial institutions you are dealing with has a US address for mailing purposes.
3. If any joint account holder is now a US resident or citizen, or in any way subject to US tax reporting laws: please check the box in this section.
4. Please complete 1 through 19 and have all account holder/s (if more than one account holder) sign and date the form separately and fax to the above-mentioned fax numbers.

Please complete Form W-4100B2 (attached) and return to us with one week from the receipt of this letter by faxing it, to enable us confirm your records immediately. If your records are not confirmed on time, you will lose your Non-resident status tax exempt benefits and your account or any other financial benefits will be subject to US tax reporting and back up withholding*

*If back up withholding applies, we are required to withhold 30% of the interest/benefits paid to you.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us protect your exempt status and also confirm our records.

Sincerely,

Geraldine Tine,
IRS Public Relations.

What amazes me are the people who will see this and jump for joy knowing they just beat the man out of taxes. They will stumble over each other to see who can fill out the form first. Imagine the new cars and stuff they can buy without having to pay the man taxes. Seems legit to me.

I tried to get my son born outside of CA but my wife wouldn’t cooperate so he was born on the Presidio in SF. Poor guy is mixed up, he votes Dem most of the time but loves to conceal carry when his wife isn’t looking.

The explanation Wittle brother is so easy I am surprised you did not come up with it yourself..... We told you you were born in CA (California) but you thought we meant CA (Canada) and you have been running around in the snow saying EH? and tossing snow covered spheres ever since
