The vast majority of personal filings are relatively simple and refund amounts do not warrant close scrutiny by agents. The reality is, these types of returns are only checked for math errors or technical errors like not having a signature or failing to check a proper box. They don't care where the refund is to be sent, especially if it's a electronic filing with only a routing number. That's why the scammers are able to file under the radar, so to speak.
