Process Your Phishing Expedition

You may get a email with a link to this very slick looking (but fake so don't enter your information there) Process your Refund page that is intended to collect your social security number and credit card and billing address as I just did. Its almost certainly a scam.

It is quite well done but backtrack the link and remove everything after the porterfam.org and you get a page of stats. Pretty good indication that its a phishing scheme.

It was nice that they had a link to the IRS home page because I went there and reported them. Shame about internet snitching is you can't hide out on the corner and watch them get busted. Not that I expect anyone to get busted but its a nice thought.
