Try 6 to 9 Weeks

So I got an email today, 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 $109.30. 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 the form for your tax refund, please click here

Regards,
Internal Revenue Service

You know what stands out about this email (other than the obvious fact that the IRS does NOT email)?

allow us 6-9 days in order to process it

Since when does the IRS EVER process something in 6 to 9 days? They don’t do things in single digit days. It’s more like weeks.

So of course, I went to the site, and they want my “credit card” to give me my money back. So I give them Billy Bob Joe’s credit card number. And his pin number, 1234.
