Black Inheritance Tax Refund Scam January 2002 Fraudulent tax preparers have been running a "Black Inheritance Tax" or "Slavery Reparation" scams, claiming that you can get money from the government if your ancestors were slaves. They charge you $100 to help you apply for the credit. There is no such tax refund, in fact, there is no Federal Inheritance Tax to get a refund from. At the Federal level it is called an Estate Tax. Applying for the false credit and scamming others into applying for it can get you in deep trouble. See the IRS Warning and Congresswoman Johnson's statement about this scam for more details. Subject:� � FW: FW: Tax Refund (Please send to everyone you can!) This goes out to all my friends, family, and everyone in� the African American� community. Once you receive this message please write down the number and then� pass it along to every African American you know. As you my know, all African� Americans living here in the United States are descendants of slavery, therefore our government has finally passed a bill to� pay all descendants back. � The way they are paying us back is through a refund� called the, "Black� Inheritance Tax Refund/40 Acres and a Mule". When you call this number you'll give� them your name, address, and phone number and they'll send you out a packet, which includes further details and information on how to receive the refund. I� was informed that it will take only two weeks to receive the packet and then� two weeks to receive the money. Now, if you know our government I bet they� are not expecting a lot of people to call for� this refund, and they may be� right, because many of us will not be informed�of this. Therefore, this is why I am� taking it upon myself to pass on this� information, so our community will� soon be informed through word-of-mouth about what has� been owed to our ancestors all these� years. Black Inheritance Tax Refund 1-800-xxx-xxxx press #3 to direct you to the appropriate line open between 7am and 12am (EST) West Coast: 4am and 9pm Expect to wait anywhere from 5mins-25mins (There will� not be any music to entertain you while you wait!) Ps:� You must be 18 years or older and I'm assuming a legal residence of the United States. So, request an application for yourself, husband, wife, sister, brother, father, mother, etc,� or just pass the number along. I� had this checked out and it is legit. When I called the number, the lady said that some people have� already began receiving their checks. � She said that President Clinton wrote the bill and it has� finally been passed. The IRS will not tell you these things, because they don't won't us to be� education about our rights. She� said to make sure you fill the application out accurately and completely, because if not the application will� be not be processed.
