Silly Spammer, no biscuit...

What fun - I have just received an e-mail from Department of Revenue,Ministry of Finance Government of United Kingdom to tell me that I am eligible to receive a tax refund of 988.50 GBP!!

I would just have to click a link, fill in my details, and wait three or four days for them to process it all. Fancy!

Only problem - I don't pay UK tax, being Manx... Silly Spammer.

(As well as the British Government not being the 'Government of United Kingdom', not having a 'Department of Revenue,Ministry of Finance' - and if they did they'd probably know how to use spaces after commas... and the £ sign...)

LOL. Those are always entertaining. Also, of course, the government (of any country) is in the habit of contacting it's people to remind them that, "Oh, we owe you money! Please don't forget! We would hate to have to keep it for you."

I, OTOH, really *am* getting impressive refunds this year. Impressive enough that it works about to nearly a third of last year's income. But that's because last year's income was nowhere *near* enough to live off, and my government feels sorry for me. And despite that, and probably unlike most people in my financial situation, I have a really good accountant. (Thanks, Mommy!)

My daughter gets back more than she paid each year - which is rather cool. But they certainly don't e-mail her - they just send her out a cheque in the post.
