The craziest ones are the legit looking messages sent to a person when they actually owe a similar amount to what they promise to refund you if you reply back! I got one of these, had the IRS logo, everything looked legit, I was readying to answer with an affirmative, but decided it was too good to be true. They getting better though, they actually know what tax payers owe! Crazy.

That is pretty scary. Hopefully we're able to help spread the word that these things are out there and to be very, very careful. Good catch!
