I work for a tax and investment firm and we get calls all the time from people wanting to know if things like this are a fake or virus. I wish more people realized that the goverment, IRS, police, dept of revenue, etc. do not send email notices. You would receive a written notice via mail. Just thought I'd share as there is a new one started this week telling people their IRS payment was refused. Ever wonder how they would have gotten your email?
