4. False Tax Claims in 2014
Another case of identity theft and filing false tax claims occurred in 2014 when siblings Harvey James and Jacqueline Stanton, and a postal worker Vernon Harrison, used prisoner identities in their scams. They used inmate information from different sources in order to file false tax returns. Apparently, one of the sources included an individual from the Alabama Department Correction. Their scams proved to be very fruitful amounting to over $1 million in false tax returns until they were seized of course. All three participants were sentenced to prison.
