it's a spoof Gman. don't click anything on it or follow any links. just delete it or mark it as spam if you can. there is no IRS in the UK. is there? i doubt you have anything to worry about. even if you change your email address, you'll get these again eventually.

BMoney is right don't click on any links, that's what they are trying to trick you into doing.
This crap is common here in the US. Just remember one rule, If you didn't initiate the contact be very suspicious and don't click on any links. If your not sure and want to check it out contact the agency, company, etc... outside of the email and you will find that this is BS.

Yeah Thanks for the advice guys,I was sure it was a spoof but i just could'nt be sure,you are definately right,we dont have an i.r.s in uk,i'm sure its that GH retard,he must just sit there for days working out what crock he can come up with next,he should try and concentrate on getting his mother off drugs and prostitution...
Ha ha ha i love calling him names,its funny....i'm such a child....

To me, it sounds like a phishing link.... trying to capture info for identity theft.

 

[Ghettoman]

Not too sure JT,i do have a phishing filter and that is switched on,also got firewall,but i dont know what would block it,i'm no good at internet stuff...

never ever repsond to any email from anyone claiming to be anyone who wants any kind of financial information.
if they dont already know how to get a hold of you through your phone or snail mail addy then they are not worth paying any attention too.
