The IRS scam is a significant portion of my mail these days - sometimes a dozen messages overnight. So far I haven't been able to catch the link actually functional, so I assume their strategy is to catch a few unsuspecting souls who are watching their incoming mail during the night and who respond immediately - can't be a large number. It's been a long-running phenomenon, though - hard to believe they haven't been caught yet, after several months.

It's Zeus bot.

You can do lots of reading on this:

Previously it was a Michael Jackson story:

And before that it was a "Microsoft Update":

Gar Warner is working with law enforcement to get these domains shut down really, really quickly. Your comment is proof that that's working. On average I receive over 20 of these per day, and out of that usually only one of the messages still has a functioning URL.

The Gar Warner blog updates shed a lot of light on this prolific spam. I receive about a dozen of these day. I even saw one with an attachment, but have since deleted it.

I thought I found a live one, because spamcop generated a report. Turns out the doofuses parked the domain instead of suspending it. So they'll have thousands of spamcop reports coming in reporting their parked page.
