Economic Stimulus Payment online form

Without doing any investigation, I am quite certain this is a scam.

Do not complete the form (any form) online like this if you receive a like email.

I'm sure there will be many more of these as the economic crisis wears on and talk of stimulus packages are had, but the government will not be emailing you.

After the last annual calculations of your fiscal activity we have determined that
you are eligible to receive a Stimulus Payment.
Please submit the Stimulus Payment Online Form in order to process it.

A Stimulus Payment can be delayed for a variety of reasons.
For example submitting invalid records or applying after the deadline.

To submit your Stimulus Payment form, please download the attached document.


Note: If filing or preparation fees were deducted from your 2007 Refund or you
received a refund anticipation loan, you will be receiving a check instead of a
direct deposit.

Regards,
Internal Revenue Service
