I am sure the other "me" got notification also, but probably won't go down in person. They are most liking working from the safety of a keyboard in another part of the country or world. Also if they do get the huge refund that they claimed they will probably be gone "like a fart in the wind" as soon as they get paid. There was a cnn article recently that stated the IRS PAID OUT around 5.2 BILLION in fake claims..... unbelievable ! Sometimes these scammers file 100 plus returns a day.......

What would be nice , would be for the IRS to have call centers open on the weekends during tax season so that people could get things resolved right away......end rant..!
