With identity theft at an all-time high the Internal Revenue Service is having fits. Some yahoos go so far as to advertise that they are experts at identity and tax fraud. With so much access to social media, these morons best beware that the IRS will hunt them down.

Rashia Wilson is one such cheat! Wilson bought a $92,000 Audi, proclaimed herself a millionaire, and announced on her Facebook page that she was “the queen of IRS tax fraud!” She got caught. As reported in www.bostonglobe.com.

But even more than her flamboyance, it was the seeming ease of her crime that was most stunning: She and an accomplice were alleged to have hijacked the identities of other taxpayers to get fraudulent refunds. They used stolen Social Security numbers, a computer, and basic knowledge of how to file a tax return.

The Florida mother of three was caught and pleaded guilty to stealing at least $3 million. She and her attorney had the audacity to blame the IRS, asking it to figure out a way to prevent this from happening in the future, so someone with a sixth-grade education can’t defraud them so easily.

We will continue to look at tax fraud in the next stoptheftclass.com blog.
