This is an article on tax refund fraud. What is hilarious is the photo of the culprit - fake blonde hair, a pendant with her name in fake diamonds?? (Actually that person was sentenced to 21 years.)
It also says, "Some street gangs are moving from drugs to refund fraud because it is more lucrative, less physically dangerous and, in some states, much less harshly punished." As if they're talking about a legit business.
Does the person submit a refund request with a fake address and then has someone pick up the refund check at the fake address? Also there must be a check with the real person's name on it. How would the crook then deposit the check?
