FW: Serious e Security Alert: Fake Website _ Income tax dept. of India - Beware!!!]

Hi Friends.
I would like to share some information about e-Tax Refund
Yesterday, I could find an email in my yahoo inbox from Income Tax Department of India – Tax Refund. I was just surprised to see this email asking for my bank accounts & Card details with ATM PIN.
For your Information, the intimation emails cannot be sent from any of government websites to any particular person. Later, I could find this email was Fake & the source of this email was from outside INDIA.
Please Beware before filing the Income Tax Returns online.
