This is becoming a huge problem. Get with the IRS ASAP and get a IP PIN for future filing.

Bummer, it can get worse if several folks use your SS number to work and don't file taxes. The IRS will want you to pay up.

Yeah, you're right, Gene. I think this is a case of somebody posting a fake job with a fake ID (mine) to get a tax refund. Wonder if it's a US citizen?

They don't have to match. So be sure you contact the IRS immediately so they don't penalize YOU for not filing by the 15th. If you can, go to your local IRS branch and take with you copies of your prior tax returns, income documents (W2s, 1099s, etc.) and a couple of IDs to prove who you are and start the paperwork. Also, don't forget to request a PIN for future filing. If you're not familiar, it's a unique number the IRS issues you every year to use when filing a return and verify your ID.

Good luck.

Wow - not cool at all. Did Experian and the rest of the credit empire remove it from your records?

I have a house loan on mine from some guy with the same first and last name from back in '95. They still haven't removed it. Got lucky - just the one notation on my account.

Sadly, this sort of thing is insanely common. There have even been instances of prisoners filing dozens and dozens of phony returns and using a third party and mailbox to amass small fortunes. Since they are already in prison, you can probably get an idea of the level of successful criminal genius operating here, and at least the prisoners are pretty easy to catch.

I don't know what all has been suggested here...time running short for me. If you can't get anywhere and need a lawyer, and you don't have the scratch for it, I'd try searching for the bar association for whatever county in which you live. You might be able to find them online, and you may have to call your county court. However, a number of counties across the country have local bar associations, and some of them run volunteer organizations. You may be able to find legal help it little or no cost if you qualify. Hopefully it doesn't come to that, but these things can some times take quite a while to sort out.

My younger brother got a call from his bank one day, asking if he was currently in Argentina. Someone was trying to use his credit card info. in Buenos Aires. I think the furthest south my brother has been is Disneyland. Fortunately, his bank's call was very timely, and my brother got hold of credit bureaus to put a freeze on right away, so he was able to shut it down before it got ugly. Hope yours resolves as smoothly.

My bank is good. Someone in Belarus tried to use my debit card last week; the bank denied it, froze the card, called me at 8 the next morning, and I had a new card by 9:15. Wish the IRS could work that fast.

O.P.

Freeze ur credit immedately at all three

Credit agencies...

Cost's $20? Per agency if your not a senior , iI think?

SCREW the FBI.....their "picking and choosing"

The crimes they investigate nowadays because

Their SSG division is too busy paying Early Released

Criminal snitch's IN BLACK BUDGET CASH

TO GANGSTALK INNOCENT U.S. CITIZENS.

They are so busy running that illegal program they dont have time to deal w/ your Identity theft.

And....

For those of you who don't know, we provide HR and Safety services to business and industry. In that position, we often run into people asking us to push their products and services. Unless they can add incredible value that we cannot already deliver, we usually pass.

We couldn't pass on adding ID restoration.

Chances of your ID being stolen is 1 in 30.

If you're under 18, chances are 1 in 10. (squeaky clean credit)

If you have a Home Depot or a Target credit card, your chances are 1 in 3 because they've been breached.

The FTC says that ID theft cannot be detected or prevented. Our service offers comprehensive id restoration.

They don't help YOU do all the work, THEY do all the work for you.

Our clients offer it as a benefit to their employees but I can also offer it on an individual basis.

$300 per year per household. So for a family of four, it only costs $75/person/year.
