Has anyone else experienced this?

I went in to the local IRS office to file and pay my annual taxes.

The lady drew up my SS # and said I had already filed.

I said I had NOT, and she gave me the bogus town I had supposedly filed from. She said they had sent my refund there. I have NEVER received any refund per plan.

I gave her my CPA created tax return and a check for my delta owed, and asked what would happen. She said that two or four agents would go to the bogus address, collect license plate numbers, names from their mailbox, run those names through their system to create a file on the perp.

Once they had all the evidence they needed they would arrest the perp with Fraud charges plus half a dozen others, and take them to trial. She said that unfortunately they would probably be out of prison within a decade.

there is always Karma. A few years back I had a case of mistaken ident, FUBAR records---- some guy was stopped on a routine traffic stop, gave the cop his DL, which included his name, dob, and pob. Cop ran W/W and he came up wanted for homicide in state of Washington. After he was fingerprinted and had spent three days in jail, it turns out he had stolen the identity of someone, got a DL and matching documents, ran up a lot of bills, and the only ID handy when he was stopped was this fraudulent ID.
