Get your taxes done using TurboTax
SCAM - DO NOT CALL THIS PHONE NUMBER. I received the same email last night and called the number. Spoke to someone named Flo with an English accent. She asked to confirm my name, email address and phone number. She also asked if I was logged into my account because they will want to screen share. I said I wasn't logged in and she said she would transfer me to TurboTax's Security team but there would be more than an hour long wait so they would call me back. I shouldn't have called the number and I went directly to TurboTax's Support Contact Center on their website (should have done this first). I submitted an inquiry using their form and was given a different phone number to call. I spoke to Julie from TurboTax and told her about the Security Email Alert email received and she sent an email from her account to me and asked me to compare it to the email address in the security alert. I told her it was different and she confirmed that it was not a legit email from TurboTax. She mentioned that they've been receiving a lot of phone calls regarding this scam. She also said that the IRS is not accepting tax returns until the first week of February. As a safety precaution, she told me to change my account password. The scammers just called me back and I sent them straight to voicemail.
