People still getting money on tax returns in my HOOD!
A Vallejo woman was named in a 30-count federal grand jury indictment Thursday that alleges tax fraud, identity theft and bank fraud.
According to the indictment, 45-year Barbara Perry used 18 names to fraudulently claim income tax refunds totaling more than $130,000 for the 2009 tax year.
Perry also allegedly used closed bank accounts in a scheme to fraudulently obtain money from a bank in June 2009, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of California Ben Wagner said.
The indictment also states Perry used one of the false identities to fraudulently claim more than $1,000 in refunds for tax year 2008.
If convicted, Perry faces $1.5 million in fines plus five years in prison for false claims, 15 years for identity theft and 30 years for bank fraud.
