Just received this official looking e-mail............

The way I know it's a scam is that I have NEVER used this email address for ANY correspondence with the IRS, and filed paper copies by mail for at least the last 6-8 years !!!

This one plays on how bad I want $ 109 !!!!!!!

BTW........ The "click here" link doesn't work !!!!!!!!
