Identity theft - IRS refund scam
Note: I have removed the actual phishing links for the purpose of these examples.
Here's a great tip for recognizing the scam. Look at the "reply-to" email address. This is clearly NOT the
IRS email address. Service.com is not a government website. Government websites end with .gov.
Good try scumbags!
