Spam coming to LWALDRV made to look like from IRS March 28, 2016, 10:01:43 pm Yahoo Message Number: 159625Just a heads up: I received this email which I have pasted in so it won't harm you. Unfortunately, I know I am not getting a refund this year so it obviously is spam. It came as part of a LWALDRV message.ChrisPlease download attached document with approved 27984J form.Transaction type / Tax Refund Payment method / Wire transfer Amount / $ 2845.00 Status / Processed Form / 27984JAdditional information regarding tax refunds can be found on our website: http://www.irs.gov/Refunds.Regards, Internal Revenue Service Address: 1111 Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20224 Website: http://www.irs.gov Phone: 1-800-829-1040

They'd send out a letter via USPS.Linda Hylton
