Rec'd email Call Support: 1-866-602-4279 We've noticed that someone attempted to fill out a tax return using your information with a different account. Is this scam?

Yes, it is a scam.

As my colleague Lisa responded to another client a year ago who was contacted by the same phone number,

I called this number and it is not TurboTax.  It is a pre-recorded advertisement.  I am going to report this our security center.  However, please do not respond to any further emails or calls from these people.

I will report it again to our security.
