ALERT! WARNING ... scam email pretending to be from the IRS

The crooks are sending out the following email.
I just received one and so have my clients.
THE FOLLOWING IS NOT FROM THE IRS. IT IS A SCAM.

Good News,

After the last annual calculation of your fiscal activity we have determined that you are eligible to receive a tax refund of $97.00.Please submit the tax refund request and allow us 2-4 days in order to process it.A refund can be delayed for a variety of reason. For exemple (invalid records or applying after the deadline). The good news is that IRS will make this refund directly to your visa and/or mastercard linked to your checking/savings account instead a check or a direct deposit.To access the form for your tax refund, please continue to our secure form at "Tax Refund V-M" .
The link, of course, does not take you to the IRS site but to their site.


.Important: Do not use credit and/or american express or discover cards.Only cards that are linked to your checking/savings account are accepted.
Regards,
Stephen Bronner
