I'm always suspect of these mass mailings that say:
WARNING "DON'T EVEN OPEN IT!" !
HERE IS THE MASS MAILING THAT CAME TO ME!
SCAM ALERT!
WARNING! PLEASE READ IMMEDIATELY! THIS IS SERIOUS!
If you get an envelope from a group called the
“Internal Revenue Service, DO NOT OPEN IT!
This group operates a scam around this time every year. Their letter
claims that you owe them money, which they will take and use to pay for
the operation of so called essential functions of the United States
government. This is untrue!
The money the IRS collects is used to fund various inefficient and
pointless social engineering projects. This organization has ties to
another shady outfit called the Social Security Administration, who
claim
to take money from your regular paychecks and save it for your
retirement. In truth, the SSA uses the money to pay for the same
misguided make-work projects the IRS helps mastermind.
They have no intention of ever giving your money back
These scam artists have bilked honest,
hard working Americans out of billions of dollars.
Don’t be among them!
FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!
