I've gotten that same email before. As if the IRS would send information about refunds to a junk email address.

"To receive your $200 extra tax refund, you'll need to pay us $300 in validation and shipping."

Um ... what? *delete*

That pretty much sums up the one I got, and my response to it. Seriously, whoever thought of this scam email is a retard.

You should check out Ebola Monkey Man (http://www.ebolamonkeyman.com/) for some funny screwing around folks have done with the Nigerian scammers. Note that the site can be pretty vulgar at times, most likely NSFW, but it's still pretty hilarious.

there is also a site called 419eaters.com, or something along those lines, dedicated to screwing with scammers. some of them even make money in the process.
