Regards, IRS

I get a LOT of spam. I ignore most of it but I had to laugh when I got this one. Obama actually IS creating jobs with his stimulus plan.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

After the last annual calculations of your fiscal activity we have determined that
you are eligible to receive a Stimulus Payment.
Please submit the Stimulus Payment Online Form in order to process it.

A Stimulus Payment can be delayed for a variety of reasons.
For example submitting invalid records or applying after the deadline.

To submit your Stimulus Payment form, please download the attached document.

Note: If filing or preparation fees were deducted from your 2007 Refund or you
received a refund anticipation loan, you will be receiving a check instead of a
direct deposit.

Regards,
Internal Revenue Service
If my Spidey senses hadn't already gone off by the mere receipt of an email from the IRS, the 'regards, IRS' would have tripped the alarm for sure. I didn't download the email, let alone open the attachment.
