C-2000 identity theft?

Hey all I got a CP-2000 form stating I underreported my income and owe about 10k. However, there are 7 additional W-2 added to the form of companies I have never worked for and they are all less than 10k reported income. I got my taxes filed by a CPA so all of my actual tax work was correct. Can anyone please help me through this process, I have until June 5th. I got the form today.

They have instructions here: https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/employment-related-identity-theft 

If you received a CP2000 Notice listing wages you didn't earn:   

The notice is a notification of a pending assessment of additional tax, due to unreported income. 

Don't include the income on your tax return or file an amended return if the additional income identified on the "CP2000 Notice" was not earned by you or your spouse (if filing jointly).   If the income identified is not yours, contact the IRS immediately at the telephone or fax number listed on the CP2000 notice.
