    True, so that the interest and penalties add up while going through the Post Office system. As slow as the mail is sometimes, makes you think they are in co-hoots together.......haha

    Thanks for the warning!!!! My taxes were e-filied so I know my accountant would put all the info necessary on the form. There are so many scams out there.

    They don't send emails.
    They write you a letter.

    Contact the police and ask if they can suggest where you can direct the e-mail to.

    I get this garbage from people who claim they are either in charge of estate or I have been chosen to recieve this big amount of money. I hit the delete button without wven looking as it has a lot of misspelled words, sounds odd and I am sure from Nigeria. Do not open as they attack your computer take all your banking personal info and you have an identity crisis.

    Sad, I've been getting more and more emails saying it's the IRS, post office, UPS, etc. Does anyone know where we can report these?

    Also, try not to even open emails you know are junk. They can give your computer a virus.
