Read somewhere that one victim's false return was directed to be paid to a reloadable debit card. :roll:
Seems like that would be easy to stop with a few simple changes: IRS should ONLY issue paper checks sent to an address. Pass a law that a refund check could only be cashed at a bank, in person or by depositing via USPS mail to a bank. Then, a scammer would have to pick out an address and monitor the mail there as they would not know when the check would arrive. Then, if they wanted it in cash, they would have to take it to a bank, present 2 forms of ID all the while being filmed on surveillance cameras. If they did it by mail, there is a bank account to trace.
It's funny that the US and other countries have gone after Switzerland and other banking hideouts, yet they allow anonymous untraceable transfer of funds so easily through their own systems. :lol:
Finally, the US should pick out a few test cases and put the resources of the US law enforcement on it just like they do on the high-profile terrorism cases. Catch the guys and make a highly publicized example of them. Raise the penalty to maybe 50 years in a Federal prison. Then it becomes kind of like a reverse Lotto for the scammers. :lol: Do the same with spammers: come down hard on a few guys with lots of publicity.
