NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED
=====================
The Tax Club The Tax Club sold at On Line Seminar: Snake Oil in Disguise Orem Utah
March 27, 2007
The Tax Club or Tax Advantage or whatever they are called is a scam!
I trust the following scenario recaps what most people encountered at recent Stores On Line marketing seminars. A Tax Club representative, who was quick to point out that Tax Club was not affiliated with Stores On Line, touted a CD tool that would be invaluable to our new internet business. Naturally it was a ?one time offer? ?today and today only? for only $199.00.
Among other things we were verbally promised 1) a review of our previous two years taxes, 2) a free tax consultation, 3) invaluable tax information contained on the CD, 4) preparation of our current year taxes, and 5) an accessible website for tax assistance 24/7.
Here's what we got: 1) The ?invaluable tax information? contained on the CD was insulting. Information was so glossed over and basic that my 15 year old grandson could have written it. The same (more and better) information could be obtained at no cost from free IRS pamphlets, AARP, Barnes & Nobel, public library, or Good Housekeeping magazine. Information was not pertinent. Knowing how to use rental property as a tax break had nothing to do with running a product based website. I tried to print the information from the CD and was unable to do so even though there is a cute little button that says ?print?. 2) We waited months to be contacted for our ?free tax consultation? which was cancelled and rescheduled several times. When the big consultation occurred it turned out to be yet another sales pitch: an investment of ?only? $2,000 for a Nevada based tax service and S Corp set up. (S Corps should be set up by attorneys!) We were already an S Corp at that time, so the consultation suddenly ended. Eight months later we received another call: another sales pitch for an unbelievably high ?membership & monthly fee?. 3) We did not receive a review of our taxes, and 4) When my husband asked about the free tax service, the subject was nicely evaded. In short, we did not purchase this service (we fell off the turnip truck once and that was enough)
We were writing the Tax Club for a refund for their bogus CD. When reviewing the Tax Club website (lol), guess what you find? NOTHING! It cannot be accessed unless you are apparently a member! There is no phone number, no address, no contact. That makes writing a formal letter difficult. Scary.
Customers who purchased this CD were the victims of misrepresentation: untrue representation or omissions of material and facts relating to the investment.
Stores On Line denies any affiliation with the Tax Club, yet the Tax Club is a part of their seminar. Stores On Line told my husband that the Tax Club was part of the seminar and would not issue a refund. The speaker clearly told us the Tax Club was not part of Stores on Line. Are they an affiliate, or not? Is not Stores On Line responsible for the content of their affiliations? The Tax Club is headquartered on the ?60th Floor of the Empire State Building?. Guess what? They have two offices in UTAH, one in Orem and that is the same city where Stores On Line is located.
$199.00 is a drop in the bucket compared to some folks who lost thousands. We were sold an empty bottle of snake oil and we want our money back. We will report this company to the Attorney General in every state in the Union and post to any and all blogs we can find. People need to know the snake oil doesn't work.
