Tax Refund Scam

I just received my first tax refund scam email. I would imagine there will be more as time to receive the tax rebates get closer. Here it is:

Get Tax Refund on your VISA or MasterCard

You got $182.50 tax refund. Please follow the steps to get your refund.

Please enter your Social Security Number and a valid VISA or MasterCard number where you want the refund to be made. (I don't think so!)

We are asking for your personal information to ensure we access the correct account, enabling us to provide the tax return.

We use and retain your personal information only for this purpose and only long enough to complete the transaction, ensure the security of your system, and as authorized by law. We do not share it other than as provided by law. If you choose not to provide it, we will not be able to fully comply the tax return.

Internal Revenue Code Section 6109 allows us to request your Social Security Number, Credit/Debit Card Number, Expiration Date, CVV Code (located on the back of your credit/debit card) and ATM PIN Code for use in maintaining and accessing tax return information. (NO, NO, NO!) If you do not enter complete and valid information we cannot provide the tax return.

To collect the Tax Return please click the link bellow and fill in the requested information:
(I've removed.)

Thank You.
