thatvoodoochick's blog: "Mindless Ramblings Of Me"

Increasingly, I've been getting supposedly "legitimate" emails from the IRS stating my electronic tax payment that I never made didn't go through...the FBI stating I've been investigated and cleared and can now receive payment from someone I don't know who supposedly died and left me a crap load of money...the UPS/USPS regarding so called packages that couldn't be delivered...to banks that I don't belong to kindly informing me my account has been tampered with.

You really have to be a moron to believe that any of these emails are legit, but sadly enough, people do fall for them. Me on the other hand, don't. However, I am getting pretty dang tired of receiving them. So what is one to do?

Well, I've taken to reporting the offender to the IRS, the FBI, UPS/USPS and the banks. Granted, UPS and the post office probably won't do much, but something tells me the FBI and IRS won't take too kindly to someone impersonating them.

So I cut and paste the email with the full headers and send it off to the appropriate party. Hmm, I got one a few moments ago from the FBI. I sent the guy and email back stating I hope he enjoys being reported to the FBI! LOL Granted I have to provide them with a shit load of info on me that I really don't want them to have but they probably already do, so that one I might think on a bit! LOL Hopefully, my warning to the sender will scare the poop out of him! LOL
