Internal Revenue Service Hooray! Almost 200 bucks, and it's all mine. And people say the IRS aren't nice people.

I'm not sure why they need the warning at the end there; I think they're a bit pessimistic to assume any random person might try a bit of fraud. Over-careful, really.

You do know this is a scam, right? IRS E-mail scam (http://www.snopes.com/fraud/phishing/irs2006.asp) from Snopes.

I am a Briton, and one just enjoying getting spam from the "IRS" which on top of that warns me about committing fraud.

Criminally pursued and indicated? So they follow you and then point it out to you?

When I read that, I pictured men in shiny, greenish-black suits, with skinny ties and porkpie hats, following Revenant Threshold and pointing at him. :D
