Why is an internet radio station sending me a tax refund?
Lincoln Adams | January 28, 2008 @ 6:17 pmGot this in my inbox from the “IRS”:
After the last annual calculations of your fiscal activity we have determined that you are eligible to receive a tax refund of $93.60. Please submit the tax refund request and allow us 6-9 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.
To access your tax refund online, please click here.
Regards,
Internal Revenue Service
Never mind the fact that I didn’t even do my taxes yet, or that my refund is usually 4 digits, but when you click on the link given, it takes you to an online form that’s hosted on an Internet Radio site called 90sAndNow.com. 
What’s this? The Internal Revenue Service’s attempt to make their agency more hip and cool by handing out refunds to the tune of Backstreet Boys?
I need better filters for my email.
