I received an E-Mail from: Internal Revenue Service Subject: Tax Refund (Message ID JN237A). "A Secure Way to Receive Your Tax Refunds." They ask you to click to fill out a form. I have not done this.

Good for you. This is a scam. The form will no doubt ask for your Social Security or bank account number. This is simply a way to steal your identity. You can read more about the IRS phishing scam e-mail in our consumer encyclopedia and see a sample(PDF). No legitimate organization, including the IRS, will e-mail you asking for personal information. The IRS itself puts out warnings about this every year.

Also, watch out for e-mails or phone calls claiming to help you process your tax rebate. The IRS is warning about this, too.
