I rec'd a signin code supposed to be from Turbo tax and the name on the text message was Wesco Self Storage. Have I just been scammed?

Sign in code or a discount code? A sign-in code will be sent by TurboTax or Intuit.

have heard that Turbo Tax is vulnerable to fraud - I am really concerned - how can I get this looked at by your fraud people?

Is there a way to get through to serious support - not just a discussion page?

We have confirmed that the information is accurate; TurboTax is the source of the one-time code that was sent to your phone for verification.

Why would the real Turbo Tax use Wesco self storage to send messages? How can this not be a scam?

I received the private message asking for a screen shot. The screen shot is on this thread.

Yes, we confirm that this is from TurboTax as you see the number 88811. The name of the company-—we aren't sure why that popped up.

Sounds very sketchy. Especially with Turbo Tax being widely known as being targeted successfully by fraud. I'd think you'd want to know why that company name is coming up and stop it.
