Seven people, including six from Texas, were alleged to have conspired to defraud the Internal Revenue Service out of millions of dollars using stolen identities, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
Yusuff allegedly recruited and directed Eduardo, Mathurin, Anozie, Ogunbanjo and Mammadov to provide addresses to him that could be used in the scheme, per the DOJ. They allegedly registered with the IRS and acted as authorized agents of multiple taxpayers, using stolen information associated with taxpayers and their real tax preparers.
“Prior to issuing tax refunds to some taxpayers, the IRS allegedly sent verification letters to the addresses controlled by the defendants, and the defendants and others, pretending to be the taxpayers, instructed the IRS to release the refunds,” the DOJ reported.
