After the last annual calculations of your fiscal activity
we have determined that you are eligible to receive
a tax refund under section 501(c) (3) of the
Internal Revenue Code. Tax refund value is $120.50.
Please submit the tax refund request and allow us 6-9 days
in order to IWP the data received.
If u don't receive your refund within 9 business
days from the original IRS mailing date shown,
you can start a refund trace online.
If you distribute funds to other organization, your records must show wether
they are exempt under section 497 (c) (15). In cases where the recipient org.
is not exempt under section 497 (c) (15), you must have evidence the funds will
be used for section 497 (c) (15) purposes.
If you distribute fund to individuals, you should keep case histories showing
the recipient's name and address; the purpose of the award; the maner of
section; and the realtionship of the recipient to any of your officers, directors,
trustees, members, or major contributors.

This notification has been sent by the Internal Revenue Service,a bureau of the Department of the Treasury.
First, the email was sent to "undisclosed-recipients" which would imply a mass BCC mailing. If the IRS was communicating to me via email, it wouldn't be as a mass mailing.
Second, the 501(c)(3) section of the tax code is a provision granting exemption from the federal income tax to non-profit organizations. It has nothing to do with tax refunds.
Third, I checked out the link provided (without actually clicking on the link and possibly getting directed to a malicious site) and it definitely did not go to the IRS.
So, remember, if someone is emailing you saying that you have money coming to you, there's a 99.999999999% chance it's a scam. If you respond to these scams, you will be one of the reasons they keep propagating.
Be careful out there.
(Please note that I changed the url in the live link portion of the scam email. It will take you nowhere now)
