Taxpayer's Call To IRS Accidentally Broadcast On Howards Stern's Radio Show
BOSTON (CBS) – A Cape Cod woman says the IRS is to blame after her personal information was broadcast on the Howard Stern show. “No one should go through something like this,” she says.
The woman, who did not want her face shown or name used, says it all began when she called the IRS to iron out a tax issue.
“I started to receive phone calls and text messages from all over the country informing me that the information I was discussing with the IRS agent was being aired on the Howard Stern show.”
A portion of what she thought was a private call was in fact being transmitted via satellite to millions of listeners, including her personal phone number.
“As soon as I heard of this information I just started to quiver, and had what I would call an out of body experience,” she says. “I couldn’t believe it at first I thought it was a joke.”
The IRS agent was apparently on another line with the Stern show at the same time, but didn’t seem to realize he was on the air.
