TAX REFUND ID: A29R119

I found it suspicious becasue

1: The dollar sign is in a wrong place.
2: It attaches an online document, when I click it, it links to an IRS.gov site, on the top of the site, it says: Please enter your Info and the Debit Card where refunds will be made. And the form is called Refund Payment Form.
3: there are other icons I can click on them too, like contact IRS, About IRS, Individuals, Business, and so on, but the page stays the same, still not leaving the refund form page.
4: it asks for SSN, Mother maiden name, credit card #, ATM PIN #, Bank account #, Issuing Bank.

Is it a spam mail, a fraud?

What is your response to the notice get a prize as attached below?

What are my chances at UCLA or UCB?

I know people always post questions like this but I really need your help.
Hi. I am a first semester junior and I really want to go to either UCLA or Berkeley. They are my dream schools and I would be really excited to start my education in one of those schools. I’m sorry to add to the countless “will I get in” questions buy I really need your help. See, I honestly did my best work this entire semester and still nothing has paid off. Here are my grades sophomore and junior year:

Sophomore year (semester 1, 2)

Spanish A, A
Bio Honors B+, A
English B, B
History B+, A
Alg 2/Trig A, B-
Speech A,A

Junior year (semester 1,2)

APUSH B-, B-
AP BIO C+, C
AP English B, C
Spanish Honors C, C
Pre-Calc C+,C-
Speech A, A

My unweighted GPA is 3.08 and my weighted GPA is 3.42. I know, HORRIBLE 🙁

My extracurriculars:
4 years CSF.
3 years NHS.
13 years Indian classical dance. Preformed my solo dance debut recital (3 hour performance). Participated in the highly selective Ethnic Dance Festival of San Francisco. Has been teaching dance to younger students for 3 years.
I participate in speech and debate and have won alot of awards.
Have over 200 hours of community service
Last summer, worked with my dad on his startup company, totelist. I am in charge of advertising.
This summer, I will be interning at Apptera, a mobile advertising company. I will also be interning at Women’s Initiative, a company that helps women of low income houses to start businesses.
I will also be taking online classes at BYU to boost up my already really low GPA.

Standardized Tests:
2400 on SATs
If I study really really hard, I can get all 5’s on my AP Tests
800 on SAT subject tests for biology, math, and spanish.

Senior year course load:
AP Economics/Gov, Physics Honors, Regular English, AP Spanish, and AP Calculus.
I talked to my parents and I realized that I HAVE to get all A’s senior year. I HAVE to get a perfect 4.0 first semester of senior year. I HAVE TO.So I will. But I doubt the UCs even look at senior year transcripts.

Finally, I am a really good writer and I have lots of good ideas for my college essays. I feel I can really touch someone with my experiences. So hopefully, I have that on my side.

This is the total sum of all my work in high school. No matter how hard I tried, these are the best grades I can offer. Next semester, I will get all A’s, mark my words. So…do you think i have what it takes. I know SAT’s aren’t as important as grades and my SAT score is good. I just don’t know if it will balance out my grades. So hit me with it. The TRUTH. Do I have a chance at the highly selective UCLA or Berkeley?

P.S. I am NOT interested in going to a community college and transferring. I just worked too hard throughout high school for something like that. Despite what my grades reveal, I honestly did my best and studied as hard as I could. I’d rather go to a private somewhere. Just NOT a community college, or even a state school, like San Jose State.

How much time can someone get for stealing those big blue post office mail boxes from in-front of businesses?

http://www.pe.com/localnews/hemet/stories/PE_News_Local_D_mailbox21.297d309.html
–
Thieves ripped two full-size blue mail-collection boxes out of the concrete in Hemet and Menifee this month and stole all the mail inside, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service says.

The agency is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest or conviction, Postal Inspector Renee Focht said. It is also accepting complaints from anyone who believes their mail was stolen.

The first collection box was taken April 5 from the Village West Shopping Center at Florida and Sanderson avenues in Hemet. It was taken sometime between the last pick-up at 5:15 p.m. and when it was reported missing at 3 p.m. the next day, according to a news release.

The empty, damaged mailbox was found two days later on Green Avenue, south of Highway 74 near Homeland.

A second mailbox was stolen between 1:15 p.m. April 14 and 11:30 a.m. April 15 from the corner of Sunnywood and Sandwood streets in the Sun City area of Menifee.

Postal officials do not know if the motive was related to the income tax deadline. Most mail theft targets checks, gift cards or cash, Focht said. People are discouraged from mailing cash.

Anyone who may have information about the theft is asked to call postal inspectors at 1-877-876-2455, option 2, and refer to Case No. 1849381.
