Usually because they're stupid.
I found this to be a particularly hilarious example of an email scam. Leaving out the obvious problem that my tax refund was NOT $189.60, the most glaring giveaway was the numerous grammatical and spelling errors. I mean, really. Would the IRS send out an email that spelled "you" as "u"? I didn't realize our public tax servants had all been replaced by text-happy 16-year-olds.
This guy has some other insights from a tax standpoint, but they aren't as interesting to me as the grammar mistakes.

Did you actually receive this?
Yes, Mother. I got it twice.
You'd think the one of the writers from "The Daily Show" could have proofread that for him.
This looks like a formal writing assignment one of my Freshmen would submit!
And I thought I was the grammar nazi...Two posts pertaining to punctuation in one month? Wow. I'm in Heaven. :)
What? This is a fake!
Oh no
Scot t; u'd think so!
