Judge Curbs Tax Shelter Promoter
A scheme marketed by Oryan Management allegedly cost the Treasury $99 million.

A federal judge has barred an Ontario firm and four individuals from preparing tax returns after they engaged in a scheme to sell bogus tax shelters, the Justice Department said Friday.
The scam falsely promised business owners a way to get tax benefits by modifying company websites to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Justice Department said.
The shelter scheme was organized by a Las Vegas telemarketing firm called National Audit Defense Network, according to a suit filed by the Justice Department last month. Officials blame the scheme for tax revenue losses of $324 million.
The Ontario company, Oryan Management & Financial Services, and the four individuals were accused of promoting the scheme, accounting for $99 million of the losses to the Treasury.
Under the court order handed down last week, Oryan and Daniel W. Porter of Chino, Robert Goetsch of Hayward, Michelle M. Hernandez of Upland and Joseph Prokop of Mt. Baldy must cease tax preparation and cooperate with the Justice Department, including providing names and Social Security numbers for their clients.
Their attorneys did not return phone calls Friday.
According to the Justice Department suit, National Audit Defense Network charged customers $2,495 in cash, plus a $7,980 "promissory note" $10,475 total to make bogus website modifications that it said would enable them to claim about $10,500 in tax credits and deductions.
The government alleges that the promissory note was a sham aimed at boosting the paper cost high enough to get the full benefit of the tax breaks.
The company allegedly told customers that they could use the payments to claim a $5,000 ADA income tax credit and a $5,475 business tax deduction.

To my knowledge, there is not a Class Action Suit in the making. Your best bet is to file with the Bankruptcy Court as described in earlier messages.
My husband and I refuted the charges on our charge card and have been reimbursed. However, it's not over yet for us. The Clearing House for there bank is still "muddying the water."

Dorothy,
In your report you mentioned contacting a Class
Action Attorney. Any positive result yet?
I posted my rip-off report as:

Also, an ex-employee mentions an attempt to put together a Consumer Law Suit against NADN. There is an [DELETED] e-mail address mentioned there. Is this a valid effort? The rip-off report containing it is:

Sandra it's our understanding that "only those who had their Taxes Prepared and Submitted by NADN" have need to worry. We let them prepare our 203 Tax Return, however we got word of what was going on and had a CPA redo and submitt our 2003 Tax Return. IRS, potentialy, could "red flag" all returns done by NADN because of their ruling against the deductions and credits that NADN was falsely using. Also, according to material we've read, IRS requested NADN to provide them with names and addresses of all clients that NADN had represented.
Suggestion: Any mall owner or tax prep user of NADN, that allowed NADN to prepare and "file" should contact IRS and advise that we were duped into believing that what they were dooing was legal.

Who could be audited? Any one who ever used NADN to prepare their taxes? Or just the people who bought the Mall for All? I used NADN for a couple of years to prepare my taxes but never bought any of the crap they were trying to sell me. The last year I used their services was in 2002. Am I in any danger of being audited?

Maybe our refund is with the Bankruptcy Court in Las Vegas
#15Consumer Suggestion
Sun, June 13, 2004
The only way we MIGHT get our money back is through the bankruptcy court.
Now that NADN is in chapter 7 of bankruptcy this is the only help we might get.
If you filed a complaint with the Attorney General's Office in Las Vegas they should
send you a Proof of Claim form to fill out.
Their address is:
United States Bankruptcy Court
333 Las Vegas Blvd. South
Las Vegas, Nevada 89101
Phone (702) 388-6257
Case # 03-17306
They are having a meeting of the creditors, that would be me and you and anyone else
who has been ripped off by nadn, on July 8th 2004.
Call them if you haven't already.
Hope this helps you.
Now that they have filed chapter 7 maybe we will be freed from the promissory note that
is a bogus note anyway.

They Filed Chapt. 7, a Trustee was appointed, NADN staff was sent home, computers turned off and the locks on the doors changed. This transpired last Friday, my husband called Mr. Davis of DOJ and he confirmed what that they were "OUT OF BUSINESS."
My husband has sent documentation to a Class Action Attorney in Chicago, they have not responded yet. Additionally, Mr Davis at DOJ was copied on the email to the Class Action Attorney.
Any one having information on a Class Action other than what we have done, please contact Dorothy, Woodville.

another lie from NADN
#15Consumer Comment
Tue, May 11, 2004
NADN has called me last week and this to tell me they won the lawsuit. Actually they were trying to get me to buy the hit generator. They said there was going to be an article in the paper about it. I have not heard anything about it, but I don't know how they could have won.
They still have my taxes and I believe they are holding onto them because of the legal troubles. I find it odd that they are taking this long, especially since they had my info in Feb.
