Dear Chinese Friend: My brother-in-law’s cousin was once the president of the united states. He has fled the country and has $18 million that he needs to get out of the country. If you would be so kind to provide your bank information, I will pay you $150,000 to help this poor man get his money out of the USA.

What a great scam. Get a Soc. Sec. number, file a return with the troglodytes in the Gov’t bureaucracy for the hell of it, and see if a check comes back. Oh, and do in China, where Uncle Sam can’t do sh** to catch you, as if the US Gov’t even cares....

So simple its brilliant.

I wonder how many of these cases are connected to the practice of people getting “tax refund advances”.
