FILE - This April 8, 2014 file photo Attorney General Eric Holder testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington. An Internet connection and a stolen identity are all it takes for crooks to collect billions of dollars in stolen federal tax refunds, and the scam is proving too pervasive to stop. A watchdog report in November says the IRS issued $4 billion in fraudulent tax refunds over the previous year to criminals using someone else&#8217;s personal information. Holder said this week that the &#8220;scale, scope and execution of these fraud schemes&#8221; has grown substantially and that the Justice Department in the last year has charged 880 people with such crimes.
