EINPROCESSING EIN Processing Scam, Claim to be IRS Service for issuance of EIN, Not made aware of a processing fee Internet, Internet
I applied for an EIN number in May 2011 assuming that I was doing it through the IRS. I was not made aware that there would be a $150 charge in which was charged to my debit card. A debit card number was never asked for or was not given online. All they sent me was an email with an EIN number and I did not receive a letter from the IRS that the EIN number was assigned.
I have tried to call several times to the number that was given to me on the e-mail but they refer me to an IRS number.
I have tried calling the 800 number and listing on my bank statement but was unabl to connect to a department that could help me. Even the billing department was not available.
I have contacted my bank and they informed me that I am not able to get the charge reversed. I would have to have the EIN processing to reverse the charge, or I will ned to do a police report and do a Debit card dispute.
