[SATLUG] Interesting phishing email

[John Chalinder]

Here's another good place to report this specific scam:
phishing at irs.gov
I've had several of these in my email over the last month or so. The funny 
thing is, I know it's a scam because I'm receiving SSI since the early 80's 
and don't file taxe returns.
