The email says I'm entitled to a refund and then wants me to click on this link: http://www.bertorotta.it/site/bertorotta.php

This looks like a spoofing attempt to me, does anyone know if this is really the IRS, and if it isn't I'd like to know who I can forward this to at the IRS to let them know.

I am an MBA graduate with 7 years of experience in corporate finance and accounting at large corporations in US and Canada. Good work ethics, good reputation and good at what I do. I am thinking about joining one of the Big 4 as a business consultant in Canada, but I don't really want to pursue any of the accounting certifications (CA, CGA etc). Is this going to limit my career growth in a major firm regardless how well I perform as a consultant? Will I be pressured into getting the certifications?

I especially appreciate answers from people employed in the Big 4.

Im taking a marketing class in college and wanted to get people's views about vera wang going to kohls to sell clothes, purses, etc there. What is everyone's opinion on that? Does it seem to be risky at all? meaning her clothes are notorious for being higher end, would this make those who use to buy her clothes now think less of them? thanks for the input!

I pay the remaining half. The letter went on to say that they would consider my account paid in full and they will report my account to the major credit reporting agencies as "Account paid in full for less than full balance".

My question is, if I take this offer and pay off my debt for half, will I have credit problems in the future because they will see that my "account was paid in full for less than the full balance"? Is it better for me to work on paying off the enitre balance and skip the half-off offer so my account says "paid in full"? If anyone has done this, or works for a credit agency, and can give me some advice that would be wonderful! Thank you in advance!

I want to buy an REO from say Countrywide. How much above their bottom line price do the banks generally list their REOs? For instance, I found a home for 450K. When I did a title search on First American Title Company I found that the loans on the property totalled 379K. Is it safe to assume that they will take in the neighborhood of 379K?

hello..I paid August rent in money orders...I dropped them in the night box like I have always done for the past 3 years..and have never had a problem,.

I was informed by the leasing office that they never got posted,. which means they lost them.I had the money order stubs so that they could find them..and they made copies.. Plus I had to bring in the stubs twice fo rthem to make copies of becuase they lost the 1st copies!! They are telling me I need to trace the money orders! It costs $90.00 to do this, and right now money if tight.

I feel like I did my part..now its up to them. They trust me to pay rent, I trust them to cash and post those rent checks.

My question is: Shouldnt it be the leasing offices' problem and job to trace the money orders, and figure out what the hell THEY did wrong?
