She loses her Visa card and blows her cover on her alleged TWO MILLION dollar tax fraud!! ($2,000,000)
If Krystle Marie Reyes had been a little more organized, she might've gotten away with it. The 25-year-old Oregon woman's multimillion-dollar tax scam wasn't discovered until she reportedly lost not one but two prepaid Visa cards that held her fraudulent $2.1 million (!!!) refund. Reyes used TurboTax software to claim a fake $3 million in income on her tax return, scoring the eye-popping refund in the process. She'd already blown $200,000 before she was busted in what's believed to be the "largest case of fraud in the state." Reyes is currently in jail, and the Oregon Department of Revenue is scrambling to answer countless questions as to how this happened. The early answer? Human error.

If I make an unusual major purchase - or an out of state purchase, VISA or AMEXCO automatically make me confirm who I am and what I am doing....
How can a twenty-five year old dolt, fill out a $3 Million tax form and it not be questioned. Maybe it's time to 'outsource' the US Treasury to Visa or Amexco? And this is just one of thousands of such scams every year, I am told!
