This fake tax return reminder leads to malware on cpa.state.tx.us.tax-returns.mattwaltererie.net:

Unusually, the link in the email goes directly to the malware landing page rather than going through a legitimate hacked site, in this case directly to [donotclick]cpa.state.tx.us.tax-returns.mattwaltererie.net/news/tax_refund-caseid7436463593.php?[snip] (example 1, example 2) but I cannot get the malware to reveal itself (there's either a fault or it is resistant to analysis).

cpa.state.tx.us.tax-returns.mattwaltererie.net is hosted on the following IP addresses that are under control of what I call the Amerika gang:
46.45.182.27 (Radore Veri Merkezi Hizmetleri A.S., Turkey)
150.244.233.146 (Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Spain)
203.236.232.42 (KINX, Korea)
209.222.67.251 (Razor Inc, US)

The domain mattwaltererie.net also features the fake US WHOIS details that are characteristic of the Amerika gang (which is where they get their name from).
