Good gravy, if you are going to send me spam-mail, at least make it a worthy effort? This one “Your Tax Refund” from supposedly the “Canada Revenue Agency” makes those Kenyan inheritances and dutch lottos seem legit. I really expected more from Canadian Spam, and I am way disappointed in this attempt.

After the last anual calculations of your fiscal activity we have determined that you are eligible to receive a tax refund of $475.20

From 2009, we process refunds through your VISA / Mastercard Please fill the form below and e-mail it to canadarevenueagency@minister.com or simply reply it from this curent e-mail !

Oh, you so had me, at “Worm Regards”!

I am ready to send you my credit card number, PIN, security code, mother’s maiden name just cause you threw the name of a US IRS code at me! How convincing!

C’mon Canada, you better step up your spam, the Nigerians are laughing there arses off at you.

An amazing side result of this post is discovering how often a certain previous US President is tagged as “idiot” in flickr. And they scoff at the wisdom of crowds!
