One more IRS scam e-mail

I just got this one today. It looks pretty good, but ...

The big blue part has a link to a google image of that big blue part. I do not see any links in the e-mail to get me into trouble. My guess is either they are just testing to see if their e-mail lists are working, or they are just plain DUMB. 

You decide! Make sure you talk with your clients.

If you are going to receive a tax return, is there a way to find out whose tax return it is ahead of time?  I wonder how many calculations they do since this e-mail is the result of the lat calculations.

"After the lat annual calculations of your fiscal activity" is just too much fancy phrasing. God save us from when they hire someone who uses normal, street, US English. I overlook the typos; you find those nearly everywhere, nowadays.

Had a second client that received similar letter a couple of days ago. She knew it was fake immediately but still sent it to me to verify. She just happens to be the tax collector of a large local entity, so you would think the rocket scientists would send it to someone else. But then again they can't use proper English so what do you expect.
