cred65 Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 I just received an email from a high roller client on extension that the IRS has notified him that someone has attempted to file a return under his name & SS#. He spent 2 hours with IRS TAC. more to follow. Quote
Lee B Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 Be very careful. If he was contacted by phone, it might be a scam ! Quote
JohnH Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) If the initial contact was by phone, it was definitely a scam. In the past month, I've been contacted by two scammers by phone. I also learned that three of my clients had received calls which they did not return, and one elderly couple this week had visited their bank after receiving a call. Luckily, the banker told them to speak with me before taking any action. Edited April 25, 2015 by jklcpa 3 Quote
