Income Tax Refunds - A New Scam

The latest scam mails doing rounds these days after the online lottery scams and Nigerian scams are the Income Tax Refunds mails where you get the emails claiming to be sent from Department of Revenues, Government of India, where they send an attachment form or a link page where you have to give details of your Bank A/c number, PAN card number, and other personal details which once exposed can give you sleepless nights for life.  So, be beware of these mails and don't be a victim of these scamsters.  Here are the two mails that I got from these scamsters:
