I received an email with the following subject: Important Notice: Your W-2 from AMLEASE CORPORATION is on the wayI never work with them. What does it mean?

is somebody using my social security number? I called turbotax, but cannot pass over the customer service rep, who told me that has limited resources to help me, she gave me (mina) a security link, but it did not work, and there is not email or phone to call and get an explanation in this time of scams and all digital, it is a shame that cannot find any help. PS: Somebody told to Mina (the customer rep) that is was a mass email, but I never got it with a very specific company name, it sounds to me as BS, and told her that it was a way her partner get rid of customers when he does not know the answers. I hate to be treated as stupid.

This sounds like spam and whoever sent you the email is trying to get you to click on something to report that you did not work for them. This does not mean they have your social security number. This ploy is referred to as a Phishing email. They are essentially fishing for someone to "take the bait" and click on their link or call them. They will then ask for personal identifying information, usually under the guise of confirming who you are, but you are unknowingly giving them information they do not have.

I would delete the email.
