Description

I applied for a job on Indeed to work for a Customer Service Representative at the IRS. Danielle Bethune- Bergeron contacted me from a Gmail account she requested and received a copy of my Driver's license front and back and my social security number. Then, she requested my username and password to my IRS ID account so that she could allegedly link the account to the system. I gave it to her, but after she insisted that I further give her additional information I became suspicious and changed my IRS ID password. This did not sit right with her, and she insisted that i give her my ID account password, after i refused and told her I had a friend working at IRS and was going to contact them about their hiring processes she stopped all communication and stopped the process. Can she use my information to steal my identity?
