Stunningly inept tax phishing

Got this email today. I'm not terribly concerned... First, there's the timing. Dude, I already spent my refund. Months ago. Second, they sent it to everyone at my office... in the clear. And then there's the obvious fact that I didn't use them in the first place. And the redirect in the 'contact page' url.

And the thirty-three misspelled words don't inspire me with confidence, either. Spell-check is spotty, but these words? Yeah. It would have helped them...
