Subject: Fraud Warning

WARNING! PLEASE READ IMMEDIATELY!

THIS IS SERIOUS!

If you get an envelope from a company 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 essential functions of the
United States government. This is untrue! The money the IRS collects is
used to fund various other corporations which depend on subsidies to
stay in business.

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 corporate welfare the IRS helps
mastermind.

These scam artists have bilked honest, hard working Americans out of
billions of dollars. Don't be among them!
