Poor attempt at money scam

[Mutley]

Apparently i've applied to the gubbermint for a tax refund. But you'd think, that having applied for a tax rebate i'd be known as more than "Applicant"

scam said:

I got the same email 2 days ago except it used my name and looked a little more official, the only problem... I've never given my email address to any government bodies.

As Homer Simpson would say, at least 'applicant' is better than 'supplicant.'
