Income Tax Fraud

A local couple went to the Dickinson office of H&R Block and had their income tax figured. They were not satisfied with the outcome, which had them owing additional taxes, so they cancel the transaction. They had their taxes figured elsewhere and were set to receive a small refund.

In May the couple received a statement for an H&R Block Emerald Pre-Paid MasterCard in their name. They had not applied for the card. The statement indicated that over $5,500 had been deposited to the cards account in April and that all but $1.30 had been withdrawn in a three day period. The victims were advised by H&R Block that the account was set up as an income tax refund from their tax return prepared by H&R Block.

The pictured women made a withdrawal from MasterCard account at an ATM located in Santa Fe, Texas. She got into a late model Chevrolet Avalanche.
