Another Aha! Subscriber shared the following warning with me about a tax scam she received that appears very believable.
WARNING: I am apparently the victim of a potential tax scam. Over the last few days I have received 13 notices in the mail. They are all from California, from “The Taxing Authority”, and look very legitimate and scary with words like “levy, Lien, garnish wages, and seize assets” Luckily they do not appear to have my SS number. Since I have an accounting background and know this agency and the W-14, etc. forms do not really exist, we knew this was a fraud. My friends and neighbors might think they are real, so I thought I should try to get the word out. Plus if you google tax scams they are happening in multiple ways.
