Feds Warn Against Tax Scammers
The Internal Revenue Service is warning Californians about a ring of 
scammers who take advantage of people by posing as tax preparers.
The San Jose Mercury News says the scammers target mainly Asian groups at community centers and churches. They charge up to $200 and offer to help their victims get tax credits through a program that doesn’t exist.
IRS spokesman Jesse Walter says the agency has received hundreds of reports of the scam in recent weeks from San Jose, Oakland, Sacramento, Fresno and other cities.
No arrests have been made yet.
