IRS scammers giving us a bad name..
Patel acted as a runner for the organization, Schmitz said. A runner purchased "general purpose reloadable" cards and forwarded the numbers to payment processors in India so the cards could be registered, according to the 81-page indictment. The cards were loaded with fraud proceeds and then used to buy money orders. Runners retrieved the cash payments of scammed funds via money transmitters and then deposited the money into bank accounts.

This is in an FL city.

If it's a GPR issued by a CU in the US, they can load these even if they're outside the US with their funding source, usually a DC and/or CC.
