The IRS knows. I filed my taxes on line a couple of years back and within seconds of my clicking the "send" button, it was rejected. The reason given was that somebody had already claimed a deduction for the s.s. number I gave for my daughter.
After close scrutiny, I discovered I had made a typo while entering her number, one of the digits was wrong. The IRS knew immediately. If they can do it, any agency should be able to.
That's one heck of a lot more free and clear discretionary money each month than working Americans who are footing the bills for all this.
Judge Judy went ballistic the other day----this enchanting latina w/ two kids was suing for a $700 car loan she made to her grinning latino b/f.
JJ asked where she get the money for the loan. Smiling winsomely, the latina said she "saved it up" from cash advances sap-happy California gives her.
JJ went ballistic----she was getting so much free money she actually could save up $700?
Then the latina slipped up---said she also got UI checks (and God knows what other freebies).
JJ threw her out of the courtroom....calling her a scammer.
L/E needs to check this out---this scumbag obviously is falsifying official documents to get money....and that's a felony.
