Complaint Review: Anton Ewing

Dude, just own up to the fact that you're a con artist and convicted felon and that anyone on Earth would be foolish to entrust you with anything financially related.  If your clients are unsure about any of that, they can simply visit the above links.

Anton Ewing is a two-time convicted felon, who has spent time in prison for racketeering  and for extortion and stalking. He’s been taken to court for Domestic Violence (he beats up on his wives) and for Restraining Orders against him. There are at least 2 restraining orders in effect against him at the present time.

Ewing runs a  “Do Not Call” scam. He tells businesses and individual businesspersons to call him at his “business” phone number, which is also his personal phone number, then when somebody calls, he claims that his phone number is on the “Do Not Call” list, and he threatens to sue them unless they pay him thousands of dollars. If his extortion doesn’t work and they don’t pay up, he sues them.  He does the same thing with his websites. He gives out his email address, and phone number, and has a contact form, and when somebody contacts him, he goes through the same routine, and he claims that whoever contacted him is harassing him or violating the “Do Not Call” list. It’s all a scam.

In the meantime, Ewing harasses, threatens, and intimidates  his victims with letters, phone calls, emails, and text message , and he stalks his victim until they pay up, or until he gets caught and goes to jail for stalking. He also does the same thing to attorneys like Amy West who represent his victims.

Since he got out of prison, he’s filed about 22 lawsuits in SD Superior Court (one lawsuit per month in the past 3 months), and about 5 lawsuits in Federal Court. He’s got at least half a dozen lawsuits  going right now.  Many of his current lawsuits are against people and businesses who wouldn’t pay him his extortion money.

Ewing also uses his lawsuits to issue subpoenas to find out the personal information of people who dare to criticize him or tell the truth about him, and then he victimizes them the same way he does to people in his “Do Not Call” scam.

When Ewing files his lawsuits, he files for a Fee Waiver, which means that he can sue people for free. To get a Fee Waiver a person must receive  government assistance or have a limited income. According to Ewing,  he has “over 450” clients. It’s likely that Ewing is in violation of California’s False Claims Act by claiming a Fee Waiver when he’s not entitled to it.

Ewing  claims on his websites that he’s a “bookkeeping and tax preparation firm,” and he claims on his websites and other online listings that he has licenses that he doesn’t have.

1. Licensed CPA in CA, NM, AZ.  His CA license was SURRENDERED, as a result of his Federal racketeering conviction; NM, LICENSE EXPIRED; AZ, LICENSE EXPIRED.

2. IRS Enrolled Agent: HE’S NOT A REGISTERED AGENT [IRS].

3. Licensed Real Estate Broker: His CA license was REVOKED , as a result of Federal racketeering and stalking convictions; NV, NO RECORD; NM, NO RECORD.

4. Certified Financial Planner: NOT CERTIFIED [CFP Board]; NO RECORD [Investment Advisor Public Disclosure/SEC, FINRA].

5. Series 7 Registered Representative, Series 24 General Securities Principal, Series 66 Registered Investment Advisor and other SEC licenses: NO RECORD [Investment Advisor Public Disclosure (SEC), FINRA].

6. Life and Health Insurance Broker:  The CA Department of Insurance has NO RECORD; AZ Dept. Ins., NO RECORD; NV, Dept. Ins., NO RECORD.

7. JD:  He puts “JD” after his name so people will think he’s an attorney.  He says he went to law school, but he’s NOT LICENSED TO PRACTICE LAW IN ANY STATE.  In a “Disclaimer” on antonewing.com, Ewing writes,

“JD stands for Juris Doctorate or Doctorate of Jurisprudence, which is an academic distinction only. Those who graduate from an approved law school are entitled to use JD.  JD is much like Ph.D. is to those who obtain a graduate college degree. Anton Ewing is in no way implying that he is entitled to or in any manner desires to practice law in California,” except that a Ph.D. isn’t trying to defraud anybody into thinking they’re a lawyer.  In Arizona, a person who has a JD degree but is not licensed is prohibited from placing "JD" after their name, since " the use of which is reasonably likely to induce others to believe that the person or entity is authorized to engage in the practice of law in this state.”  This isn’t Arizona, of course, but Ewing is using fairly lax CA laws to try to fool people into thinking he’s a lawyer, or just to puff himself up.

Ewing  says “I am fully license (sic), bonded and insured to prepare taxes and the IRS has reviewed and approved me.” 

The IRS website says “AFSP - Record of Completion,” which means Ewing completed an AFSP (Annual Season Filing Program), which is a tax preparation refresher course that can be done online. Anybody who takes an AFSP course can register with the IRS. The IRS doesn’t review and approve tax preparers. “Additionally, the IRS does not endorse any preparer or credential over another.”

There is a self-prepared listing for Ewing on The National Directory of Registered Tax Return Preparers & Professionals, which states “For tax preparation in San Diego, California, you can count on Anton A. Ewing, ATTY, CPA, EA, RTRP, SRTP …”  These are a lot of letters which mean almost nothing except that they’re lies.

ATTY = Attorney, which he’s not.

CPA = Certified Public Accountant, which he’s not.

EA = IRS Enrolled Agent, which he’s not.

RTRP = A Registered Tax Return Preparer  must be age 18 or older, registered with the IRS (he registered by way of his online tax course), and have a valid Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN). His is A174752, which means he completed “the required education (his online tax course) and maintaining a $5,000 tax preparer bond.”

SRTP = Supervised Registered Tax Preparer, prepares tax returns under an attorney, CPA, or EA, which he isn’t unless he scammed some real attorney , CPA, or IRS Enrolled Agent (EA) into letting him use their name.

The person that wrote the above is a telemarketer violating 47 USC §501 and 227 on a daily basis.  His IP address will be obtained with a subpoena.  Then his contact informatin will be obtained.  Then he will be sued up one side and down the next.  He chose to do this.  So sad.
