I received the following note from a forum member:
Talk to your elderly parents and relatives who use the internet, make sure they don't get duped.
Very Important! They're already getting started... I just received an email, supposedly from the http://www.irs.gov/ (http://www.irs.gov/) claiming that I needed to click on a link and fill out the necessary information to receive my 2008 Stimulus Economic Refund. Don't be fooled, it's looks legit and very real. I checked on the http://www.irs.gov/ (http://www.irs.gov/), and they clearly advise against responding to the email, and against opening the link, as it may place a virus onto your computer. They note that they do not correspond with anyone via email, and that it's a scam. If you should receive this email, please forward to: phishing@irs.gov. Please pass this on and be aware!!!
