Federal agents arrested a Tampa couple Wednesday on a 17-count indictment. They are accused of filing more than 300 fraudulent income tax returns and receiving more than $2.7 million dollars.

A grand jury indicted Ms. Tressa Guy, 41, and Brian Simmons, 33, on multiple counts of aggravated identity theft, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and multiple counts of wire fraud, and access device fraud.

According to court documents, the two knowingly used unauthorized access devices and pre-paid debit cards issued in the names of actual people beginning in May 2012 through August 2012 without their knowledge.

They reportedly filed more than 322 fraudulent federal income tax refunds and received $2,701,844 in refunds.

The indictment stated, “Ms. Guy, Simmons and others would direct the fraudulent tax returns into bank accounts linked to the pre-paid cards. They would then used the cards to make cash withdrawals in Florida and Georgia and to pay personal expenses.”

If convicted of all charges, they face a maximum of 20 years in federal prison on the conspiracy charge and 10 years on each charge of access device fraud.
