You are actually the first person I know who has had identity theft - and TWICE too???? <br /><br />I'm always tempted to think we wouldn't be good targets because my husband filed bankruptcy a few years back, and our credit still a mess from it. But i never thought of our tax refund, yikes!!! And oh, the headache of trying to work with IRS and file and wait and file and wait... I'm so sorry!Margo Berendsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476308235642890474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-15044856292190846232012-02-27T22:37:59.128-05:002012-02-27T22:37:59.128-05:00Hi Marika!

An illegal in IL stole her identity and the IRS tried to tell my mother-in-law that she underpaid her taxes to the tune of about $80,000. She didn't even make close to that amount of money.Jininoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-64731799527475084512012-02-27T17:28:46.556-05:002012-02-27T17:28:46.556-05:00So sorry.

The phone co. traced the calls back to one phone booth in the Escondido area..which just happened to be near the main office of Wayne's new employment. They put surveillance on the phone booth and found out the office worker who Wayne had to show his SSN & ID info. to in order to work was giving the numbers to a boyfriend, who was part of some type of ring, who used the info. Somehow the SSNs were needed for the foreign porn site, so the phone co., FBI and everyone else got involved and shut it down and we got our charges reversed. We were fortunate that the phone co. wasn't willing to just sit back.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16602096751376024068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-74261062023832898012012-02-27T16:01:08.236-05:002012-02-27T16:01:08.236-05:00How horrifying.
