'Tis the season I guess.... sheesh... Scams are a dime a dozen this time of year.

Also ignore emails from the FBI and IRS - they're coming hot and heavy into most of my email accounts lately. Don't even open them. Most are going to my Junk/Spam folder, but not all of them are. I accidently left one in my Inbox and after reading an email, it automatically went to the next one - which was the scam/malware FBI one - and my AV went nuts. *sigh* No telling what was in the darn thing.

Honestly... if the FBI or IRS needs to talk to me, I'm in the phone book. And they already know my name and my SS#.... LOL

duly noted ; how ever this is a notice for the populace and the email notice was good enough to get my attention and im a savvy internet user plus the link on the notice is the real deal it gets you/me/anyone with an account with the
social security to the door
my intent is to warn my fellow forum members

god bless and happy holidays RC

I am due a refund from the IRS every year. Pretty impressive since I have never been a US citizen, nor paid any US tax TO the IRS

The FBI seem to owe me money too, but another department of the FBI says I owe THEM money. They can all help themselves to some of the HUGE inheritance I am due from my Nigerian relatives I have never heard of

Karma

Had he been a little more patient, he would still be free to carry on scamming, but no, he just couldn't wait to deposit those checks

The police here say the same thing. Stopping a vehicle for something minor can often lead to a major crime being busted, yet all the criminal need have done is obey the motoring laws and he would have gotten away with it.
