Spike in IRS-Branded Phishing Attempts

I've gotten a few of these over the past couple of weeks.  Everyone knows this is a phishing scam, right?

How many phishing flags can you spot here?  Unexpected email:  Check.  Offering me money out of the blue:  Check.  Link goes somewhere OTHER than where it claims:  Check.  References bogus law (I'm pretty sure the 19th Amendment to the Constitution didn't address IRS refunds).  Bad grammar: Check. 

Do we need a refresher on Phishing?
