How smart is our IRS in sending 11,000 fraudulent refund checks to a single individual???

This is the latest scam being reported now but apparently according to this it’s been going on a long time. Clark Howard, consumer advocate in Atlanta reported it a couple of months ago. With the stolen ID, they file federal tax returns resulting in refunds that are sent to the home of the person whose ID was stolen. A phone call is made (supposedly by the IRS) to that person claiming that their income tax refund was sent to them in error and they have to return it. I lost the sequence after that but I guess some people follow the directions and send the refund to wherever they’re advised by phone.
People here from European countries or Middle East are used to conning people and when they come here, it continues..it’s their way of life. Look at the Iranian used car lots in CA regularly cited by DMV for fraudulent practices...

The Maryland Voter Registration Office sent hundreds of Voter ID Cards to the same addresses back when Ellen Sauerbrey (R) was running for Governor in 1994. Anything is possible where Democrats are involved.
(Out of 1.4 million ballots cast, she lost by less than 6000 votes at the last minute.)
It says he opened up the bank accounts using stolen identities, used fraudulently obtained returns.
They don’t even need a court order to steal everything you have in the bank.
According to what I was once told, they would be in court all of the time if they followed the Constitution.
You have obviously never seen a “Federal Agency” in action.
Ben Franklin’s fault!!!
