US Treasury Department

Cleverly using the real Treasury Department address and phone numbers, but counting on people to send email. Sent to and from a yahoo.it address, and asking for a reply to a gmail address (all free web-based mails).
US Treasury using Yahoo Italy to send mail! It just wouldn't happen.

There is a notice about these types of emails on the real Treasury Dept. website:

NOTIFICATION OF PAYMENT FROM U.S TREASURY DEPARTMENT

Good day to you, I am Henry M. Paulson, Jr., Secretary of the United States National Treasury. President George W. Bush nominated me to be the 74th Secretary of the Treasury on June 19, 2006.

The United States Senate unanimously confirmed me to the position on June 28, 2006 and I was sworn into office on July 10, 2006 by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. As Treasury Secretary, I am the President's leading policy advisor on a broad range of domestic and international economic issues.

Before coming to Treasury, I was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Goldman Sachs. I joined Goldman Sachs in 1974 in the Chicago Office and became a partner in 1982. From 1983 until 1988, I headed up Investment Banking Services for the Midwest Region and became Managing Partner of the Chicago Office in 1988. In 1990, I was named Co-head of the firm's investment Banking Division, and in 1994 I rose to the position of President and Chief Operating Officer. In 1998, I was named Co-Senior partner, and with the firm's public offering in 1999, became Chairman and CEO.

Prior to joining Goldman Sachs, I was a member of the White House Domestic Council, serving as staff Assistant to the President from 1972 to 1973, and as staff Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Defense at the Pentagon from 1970 to 1972

I graduated from Dartmouth in 1968, where I was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and All Ivy, All East, and honorable mention All American for football. I received an M.B.A. from Harvard in 1970. I and my wife, Wendy, have two children, Amanda and Merritt.
