Phishers send email posing as IRS tax refund

Link to legitimate government website bounces you into the hands of phishers
Experts at SophosLabs™, Sophos's global network of virus, spyware and spam analysis centers, have warned internet users of a phishing email which aims to steal from American taxpayers by posing as notification of a refund from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The phishers are taking advantage of a security configuration error on the real US Government website which is allowing phishers to redirect visitors to a bogus website.
