I'm gonna guess that .nr is meant for sites hosted in nigeria?

.nr is for Nauru, but not co.nr which the spam e-mail uses.

Quote:
Note: "co.nr" is not an official hierarchy; it is a domain (www.co.nr) owned by a company who offer free subdomain redirection services.
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.nr

co.nr is common in these kind of scams.

OK - phone numbers are not even Australian, as pointed out the url is not directed to Australia, which uses the code AU and although we do have a few small oil companies in Australia - Penrite, gulf western, woodside ect exporting oil is not really a big industry.

but if you want to send your details to me with a money order for $2000 I will try and get in contact with them ... honest

I just got this one this morning. It really leaves me puzzled, 'cos the link is correct. But when was the last time your government sent you and email, saying they want to send you money?

IMPORTANT: You are entitled to a tax refund

Hmm, I can't copy what they send to me. The whole email is a link.
It says:
Quote:
Dear Tax Payer,
You are entitled to your tax refund now.The tax refund is $241.34. You required to follow the link below to login to our secure Epass site with your Social Insurance number and complete the required information in order for your refund to be processed.

"link"

Yours sincerely,

Giles Dompierre, department of revenue, Canada
It has a colourful grafic at the top with "Canada revenue agency" on it. Under that is the correct link of: www.cra.gc.ca.
But, in the link that's showing, it cra-arc.gc.., which is probably the French part of it. It's very strange because I clicked it by accident, and it sure looks correct. If I wern't leaving for the airport shortly, I would look into it further.

My wife just dropped off our returns on Thursday. I'm actually getting over
$4200 back. Not the amount stated in the email.
