Identity Theft on the Rise
More lucrative than selling cocaine, identity thieves can easily file taxes and make money from other's returns without the stress and complications of a drug deal.
NBC Correspondent: "It has happend almost 1 million times this past year."
Tampa, FL Police Investigator: "I had a drug trafficking offender tell me that he could make $5,000 to $10,000 for a kilo or two of cocaine. He can submit ten tax returns a day and make between $40,000 and $50,000 and watch cartoons."
Beth Tucker, IRS: "Last tax filing season we stopped $20 Billion in fake returns."
