NEWS FLASH !

RichieB's mother's identity has been stolen !

Got a letter from the IRS stating that her 2011 tax return has been received and is being held for further review.

Thing is -- a return has not been filed !

Whoever is doing this got her correct SocSec number from someplace. I have an idea where they got it from.

I've already notified the IRS and they have flagged her account.

You can never be too vigilant !!
