I already give Uncle Sam enough money. I wouldn't give him my credit
card number to go shopping at Macy's. Anyone that would do this would
truly be an ID10T.

If you have such a big influence over big corporations, then why do you
need so badly to prove to the people on FD to believe you?

That would be like Superman trying to convince every one that he's Clark
Kent.

Sounds like you have a social problem more than anything.

Accordng to your friends, this was disclosed on the 30th of November to
the Online Media Community? If you look back at my original phishing
advisory, you'll see people were saying "old news, go away".
If its such old news, why did WSLabs in less than 24 hours issue an
advisory? Get real, its totally related to my FD post.

I continue to work as a security researcher behind the scenes with
Gooogle, Yahoo, WS and others

You really are dreaming...

Websense(r) Security Labs(TM) has received reports of a new phishing

attack that targets American taxpayers and claims to be the Internal

Revenue Service. Users receive a spoofed email message, which claims

they may access and track their tax refund information online. Upon 
clicking the link in the email, users are taken to a fraudulent 
website. The fraudulent website prompts users for their first and 
last name, social security number, mailing and email address, credit

card number, CVV2, and ATM pin.


This phishing site is hosted in Italy and was down at the time of 
this alert.

Phishing email:

*Subject:* Refund notice

You filed your tax return and you're expecting a refund. You have 
just one question and you want the answer now - Where's My Refund?

Access this secure Web site to find out if the IRS received your 
return and whether your refund was processed and sent to you.

**New program enhancements** allow you to begin a refund trace 
online if you have not received your check within 28 days from the 
original IRS mailing date. Some of you will also be able to correct 
or change your mailing address within this application if your check

was returned to us as undelivered by the U.S. Postal Service. 
"Where's My Refund?"
will prompt you when these features are available for your
situation.

To get to your refund status, you'll need to provide the following 
information as shown on your return:

* Your first and last name

* Your Social Security Number (or IRS Individual Taxpayer

Identification Number)

* Your Credit Card Information (for the successful complete of the

process)


Okay now, **Where's My Refund

<LINK DELETED>
