For the past few weeks I'm getting posts similar to below every day, sometimes multiple times a day. Be careful, seems legit. But all have one theme - they're willing to email their tax returns.

"I obtained your contact information from one of your online postings I am a principal of an elementary school I am in need of your services for my 2021Tax return and I can send you a copy of my 2020 tax return to go over it, in PDF let me know how much it will cost me Thanks Regards"

"they're willing to email their tax returns."

Well, they are willing to send someone's return, apparently. It doesn't mean you get theirs, specifically.

I never ever use emails for potential customers and Ignore/delete/block these types of Emails. I do not advertise my Email address for this reason.

I received some of those earlier this year. I told them I wasn't accepting new clients but told them I knew someone that couldn't say no to a new client so I gave them your name. I hope you don't mind.

I got that same email. After looking at it closer the return email address started with "noreply" At first glance it seemed like it may be legit but reading it again and knowing the scams and then seeing the return email address I knew it was a scam.

I'm waiting for my inheritance of $11 million from a life insurance. Some estate attorney found out my name is the same as a deceased beneficiary who had no heirs. The only drag is that the $11 million is in Canadian dollars. Also the attorney went by 11$ million. Once I get the inheritance I can afford to retire an no longer have to open emails from strangers.

I come here for kudos and IRonMaN's jokes.

I got one of those messages that my subscription had been renewed and to contact them if that was not supposed to happen, and it purported to be from Intuit. But they misunderstood that "Intuit" is not "Lntuit" when the lowercase L was assumed, and they capitalized it, instead of knowing it was an i. Otherwise, sure, the logo looked fine.
