Description
I rec'd a notice from the IRS at the end of April 2025 stating someone filed a tax return using my SSN. I haven't worked since 2010 so it was suspicious to the IRS. I never open emails, text msgs if i do not know the sender. I am always warning my friends to be aware of scams and it happened to ME. The IRS told me it could be caused by a data breach. I always throw the letters away informing me of data breaches but i just throw them away. So if you receive a letter about a data breach KEEP THE LETTERS.
