WEIRD phone call

Recommended Posts

Meant to post this earlier and got distracted. 

 

Phone call this morning; guy says he tried to e-file last night with Ttx and rejection for used ssn.  Called Intuit for help, they gave him MY number and said I could help.  Then it turns out he thought I was the IRS!?!?!  

 

Gave him the identity theft number, name/number of the affidavit form (all posted HERE in another thread, thank you ALL very much), had a nice chat about the other steps he needs to take like calling the cops, getting a 5-digit IRS PIN next year, etc.  He was very grateful.  Sent me an email later offering to give me a great review on facebook or linked in.

 

 

But seriously wtf Charlie?  Intuit gives out MY number and says I'm the IRS?

He probably lied.

 

They probably told him to contact the IRS. After repeated failed attempts, he probably gave up and decided to contact a local tax preparer for info. Cause we have time...

 

BTW, when people call information around here, ask for H&R Block and choose to be connected, their call is sent to me! I have never been affiliated with H&R.

But do you have an advertising deal with the phone company?
