The other day I received two envelopes from Turbo Tax. The address was mine, but there were 2 different names as addressee. I gave them back to our postal clerk, but she informed me that the address was mine, so she had to deliver it to my address.
I was just going to throw them away, but I could feel a credit card inside both of them. Upon opening them I discovered each had a debit card stating that it was my tax refund. The instructions included an 800 number to activate the card.
I telephoned the 800 number and explained the situation. I was informed this was probably a fraudulent tax return and to cut up the debit cards. The female account representative also informed me she was going to "flag" the accounts.
I further inquired if any of my other personal info was utilized and discovered it was not. No, I did not give her my social, or any other important information. She asked me if I was born sometime in the 1980's, as that was the date of birth years utilized in these returns, of course I was not.
