After the last annual calculations of your fiscal activity we have determined that you are eligible to receive a tax refund of $109.30. Please submit the tax refund request and allow us 6-9 days in order to process it.

A refund can be delayed for a variety of reasons. For example submitting invalid records or
applying after the deadline.

If you get this DO not fill out the form..they want your VISA, MC number, expiration date and code…to get your “refund”

The IRS does not have your email address – if you were getting a refund – you would get a notice in the MAIL saying that and stating why the refund!

Beware – there are new scams every day – I keep being asked to fill out forms for banks that I don’t use…guess the scammers hope to hit a live one…

Update on the 23rd…

Now I have received 3 or 4 of these IRS refund notices…so be more aware – they are ALL scams – the IRS does not hound you about refunds…it sends them out!
