Yeah, you have to be careful how you set up your spam filters. I use an additional list for screening out those I DON'T want to get email from.

Warning

We received a notice today about a new phishing spam e-mail. It appears as if it is from the IRS concerning your tax return. It advises you that you have a refund or deficiency and advises you to submit certain account numbers.

This is a fraudulent spam e-mail. The IRS does not send notices out by e-mail. If you receive this e-mail do not respond. Contact your CPA, tax advisor or your local IRS office if you have any concerns, but do not respond to the e-mail.

Wait...the cream doesn't work???

Only temporarily while it's being applied.

Does the effectiveness vary with who is applying it?

If it even cost 0.1 cent to send each email, it would not be. Problem is that email is free. It's even "freer" if you hijack somebody else's account to send out your spam.
