My Wife got a check and a letter in the mail. The "tax agent" address is different Joy Watson 2852 Nelson St. Toronto, Ontario M9k2W6, Canada., but it's the same idea.
Any time the government wants tax money they will take it out direct or you will send it to the government, not a third party.

I did not get the same letter, but very similar---the only way we can get these scams stopped is to keep reporting them to the proper authorities!!!!!!!!!!
---if you get the letter thru the US mail---that is mail fraud---report it to 1-877-876-2455 (get the "fraud division "of the postal service,) or email postalinspectors.uspis.gov
---Notify local BBB
---Notify Attorney General "fraud division" and police department
We, hopefully, can demand to put an end to these scams!!!!!!!!
