Three women, including a mother and daughter, have been arrested on suspicion of defrauding hundreds of thousands of shekels from approximately 500 individuals seeking tax refunds. According to police, the alleged scam began when three suspects, a 44-year-old mother and her 21-year-old daughter from Kafr Kanna, and another 22-year-old suspect from I'billin, were employed at a legitimate tax refund company. While working there, they allegedly solicited clients interested in checking their eligibility for tax refunds. The suspects are accused of directing clients to deposit payments for opening cases into their personal bank accounts, and subsequently into a fictitious account they established. The mother and daughter reportedly continued to receive client leads even after leaving their employment, and, along with a 25-year-old relative from Kafr Kanna, are believed to have continued the alleged scam.
