Dear Applicant,

Unless expressly authorised by us, any further dissemination or 
distribution of this email or its attachments is prohibited.

I am sending this email to announce: After the last annual 
calculation of your fiscal activity we have determined that you 
are eligible to receive a tax refund of 415.25 GBP

The dispute follows miscalculations of Pay As You Earn (PAYE) 
liabilities last year, which DIRECT GOV originally also denied 
when reported in this space but later admitted affected millions 
of people. You can now reclaim your over paid tax now by complete 
the tax return form attached to this message.
After completing the form, please submit the form by clicking the 
'Refund Council Tax Now !' button on form and allow us 5-9 
business days in order to process it.

Our head office address can be found on our web site at DIRECT 
GOV

DIRECT GOV denies profiting from tax refund delays which leading 
accountants claim are becoming more widespread and make taxpayers 
wait months to get back what they are due.

The above is the actual scammer email received. It has been scrubbed of recipient information.
If you received an email like this you have several choices.

Ignore the scammer. Do not respond to emails. Just delete them.
Respond, but only to lead the scammer on--to get a counterfeit check, to report stolen credit card numbers, and to waste the scammer's time. Time spent trying to scam you is time not spent scamming someone else.
Report the scammer to us and we'll post their emails so others will know about that scammer.

Whichever option you choose make sure you do the following:

DO NOT educate the scammer in any way. Educating a scammer makes them better at scamming the next person.
DO NOT let the scammer know that YOU KNOW they are a scammer. The scammer will always be nice to you if they think there's a chance they may still be able to scam you. If they know they've been discovered they will often threaten you. Their threats are empty, but are scary to some people.
DO NOT give the scammer any personal information that they cannot find in a phone book (name, address, and phone.) Feel free to give them lots of incorrect information.

For more information you may contact us by email, or by email form.
