I HAVE A SIMPLE PLAN FOR THESE TYPES OF SCAMS:
=====================================
Play into them!
Reply to their email with interest, asking what email address to send your bank account information to…
When they tell you… SEND YOUR BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER! Only, make it the account number that you can get from your local IRS office for direct payment of your taxes.
When those little bastards try to hack that account — or god help them, get into that account — then and only then will the US government get involved.
Those scammers will be having US Marine Corp MRE’s for breakfast…
