I found this in the spam folder. It is a lame attempt at getting information in exchange for a "promised" $620.50. It would have helped if the subject was spelled correctly. Refund is correct, Refound does not exist:

Internal Revenue Service - Tax Refound

Here is the lame email:

I did click on the link to see what they created for a website. Unfortunately, it is already detected as a phishing site, and I could not get any samples of what information they were seeking....
