Spams Emails in the name of Income Tax India

Recently I have been getting some spam emails with sender as "Income Tax India"
Sender email : refunds@incometaxindi.co.in..
The email has some note about refund amounts etc and gives a link that says "Tax Refund Online Form". The hidden link actually points to http://mail/ murdochsmith.co.uk. (complete link http://%20mail.murdochsmith.co.uk/images/refundtax/gov.in/formular.html ).. added as space in between to break the link.)

Can't something be done regarding these fake emails?.
I checked out the Income tax india govt site about whether I can raise a complaint/warning and all I get is this link
http://www.incometaxindia.gov.in/archive/CBDT_PressRelease_09102009.pdf which warns people regarding spurious emails and tells them that the responsibility rests with the individual.

Can the IT dept atleast provide an email or form to send such spurious emails so that they can track with cyper police and cut down on people mis-representing them?
