I normally don't post anything on here about myself, because I know that there are very callous, despicable, and downright evil people in this town, who would really take pleasure in anything bad that would happen to me, but I needed to share this with you guys, because this is something that could happen to anybody, and it can certainly happen to you. You see, guys, I was a victim of identity theft, and let me tell you it's not a fun thing.
I found out through the IRS, that someone filed a tax return in my name, and they wanted to verify the veracity of the information that was sent in. I was very glad that I got this letter from the IRS, and when I contacted them via their Philadelphia office, they immediately transferred me to their refund integrity division, which I believe is like their fraud department, where I told them everything that I got with this letter. I discovered that someone filed a fraudulent tax return in my name, and they were going to get a refund for nearly $1600 dollars!
I was not only on the phone with the IRS, filing a complaint, which I also mailed out to them this past Friday, but I was on the phone with the FTC, Social Security, contacting every major credit bureau, and last but unfortunately least, I was on the phone with the Bensalem Police Department. My concern is I don't think that the Bensalem Police Department is going to take this seriously, and I would really encourage our current public safety director to prove me wrong.
Bottom line guys, this can happen to anybody, so be on your guard!!!
