    I just got the same message. Must be a scam: I opened this e-mail with a fictitious name several years ago. So they couldn’t have “reviewed” my last tax return…I don’t exist!

    Since this entry was plagiarized from by blog at AuctionLaw, complete with the red lettering indicating the illiteracy of the scammer, I’d at least appreciate a trackback or other reference to by blog. Of course, I added some additional comments and warnings about these scams/phishing attempts.
