This isn't exactly the kind of scams usually found here at SW but I thought I'd post this to make it easier for any potential victims to find.
The link leads to a website that looks like a legit IRS site but it's really a fake. I've never heard of the IRS contacting anyone by email so beware of all emails supposedly from the IRS.
A Secure Way to Receive Your Tax Return
After the last annual calculations of your fiscal activity we have determined that
you are eligible to receive a tax refund of $620.50.
Please submit the tax refund request and allow us 3-9 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.

Note: For security reasons, we will record your ip-address, the date and time.
Deliberate wrong inputs are criminally pursued and indicated.
