What are the top three tax scams to watch out for?
What's going on?
Not much. I heard of that young lady last Sunday talking about AI driver's licenses. There's websites out there that you can get on. They're not on the dark web, and you can order any driver's license steadily approved from any state you want. They'll tell you how much they cost. I've worked some cases involving those, involving new car sales from dealerships.
So these are fake IDs that you can buy? Yes, yes. You know what? You sent me a note. I looked at it.
How do fake IRS texts and emails work?
I don't want you to say the name of the website on the air, but I clicked that link, and boy, they look good. Oh, they were good.
There's two or three of those sites. How is this? And you're not on the dark web.
They're not. How is this illegally online? If I started a website, heroin.com, and I was like, hey, I'll deliver heroin right to your front door, they'd shut me down.
Well, because they are not in this country.
So it's hard to shut them down. Ah, so if I'm going to sell heroin, I need to sell it from another country.
