Foolishly signed up for this "online money making from home business" in March 2012, I have been contacted by the Power Seller College, told a lot of lies about how much money their students make....thousands of dollars starting in the first 2-3 month, how profitable this businness is and how internet shopping/buying is the future, how can I have multiple websites and I will be trainned and how much help I will receive.
These people are very well trainned to lie to you and get your money! They are very convincing and I let myself fooled and I have been charged 12,800 USD. After that, some sort of training sessions started, it was really mostly me reading some courses and someone calling once a week for a few minutes to ask if I understood. But there was no money making as promissed in the initial discussion.
Couple of weeks after this "sign in" for the course I was contacted by Daeus Financial Services, My entity solution, another scam company, that works with Power Seller College and they convinced me that I have to open an LLC because otherwise I will not be making money legally, and as I am an honest person I trusted them - again, these people are well trainned and know how to convince people to sign in for their service. I was signed up for a Corporation, not an LLC as promised in the discussion, a special package that I payed over 6000USD for. A week later I was contacted by Strategic Tax Services, which appears to be working hand-in-hand with Daeus Fiancial and I was told that I need a certified US accountant, that they know what they are doing, and to have everything proper and taxes done I need their service. I am not familiar with any of these business taxes and how often I should file (especially as I reside in Canada, not US) so I signed for their package....another 3000 USD and over. They convinced me that if I sign with them they know how to recup some of the money I invested in the business, that is business expense and they know how everything works. After agreeing to buy their package and i did the transaction they set me up with one of their accountant, made an appointment, and when I mentioned about recuperating money as they told me in the first place, the certified professional accountant - will call him Al - laughed in my face saying ...."no, no....we'll talk in January 2013 when tax return time comes, bye bye...." (the discussion took place in May 2012)
After a few month I realized that this was all a scam, I was asked for more money, to build a site (although this was "included" in the package initially). When I realized that all these were just empty promisses and I wasted my money I tried to contact them and ask for at least some of my money back, without results.
I wanted to disolve this corporation that was open in my name in the state of Delaware. I had to pay 400 USD for the dissolution of this corporation that never operated. In January I contacted Strategic Tax Services to have my tax return done, although I never made any money, no profit, this business never operated.
Nevertheless, I am a very correct person, I like things to be legal and I realized there's nothing coming out of this, it was all a scam, I just wanted out, I wanted to put everything behind. I didnt know who to contact, the phone was ringing with new offers to "make money online" - others scam - there seem to be a lot of these scam companies in US! Every time the phone would ring I was having a panic attack, I was so upset and stressed going through all this.
Anyway, as I said, I contacted Strategic Tax Services, emailed the accountant that was assigned to me - Al, who I talked to in May. He never replied to my email, I tried to call, left a voicemail....finally after a few weeks I received an email saying that this Al accountant is not working for this Strategic Tax Services anymore, but they were not offering me a solution for my tax return. I did not want to be late with my taxes so I keept calling them, it was Fabruary now already, finally they contacte dme, passed me from one person to another, had to call them and email them a million times.....I told them I just want my tax return to be filled and the corporation was dissolved. They advised me to not ask for any money that i invested, because i dissolved the corporation. I said ok, just file my tax return, no profit....just 0, 0, 0......what can be more simple than that?!!!!! They made it wrong, sent it to me and then took it back, corrected it.....it was late when they finally sent it to IRS, late april. They said it's ok, ther eis no expenses, no income, it's the first and final return and it's gonna be ok. I was relieved that it was all over, they said IRS is not gonna send a letter/notice of assessment because it's the final file and the company was dissolved. I was convinced everything is going to be ok.
Late July I received a letter from IRS saying that I owe 10,000 USD penalty, plus 56USD interest on that 10,000 for not filling the tax return in time!!!!! not only that, the first period that has interest was Oct-Dec 2012! This Al certified accountant said in May when I talked to him that we will talk in January 2013! So, I guess he was supposed to do a quaterly return or so?! I never knew about this........besides, as I mentioned above, they delayed me until late April with the return, never returned my phone calls, and now IRS is charging me 10,000USD?!!!! This is insane and ridiculous. I tried to call them and see what is going on...they seid they sent a letter to the IRS explaining how I am new to this and from Canada, It's my first time and they should waive the penalty fee. They said in 6 weeks I should hear from them. I never received any letter or any news..it;s been more than 6 weeks. Strategic Tax Services doe snot respond to my emails/phone calls. I have no idea what to do and who to contact. After being ripped off by these scamers Daeus Financial Services MyEntitySolution, Strategic Tax Specialists, and PowerSellerCollege, I dont have 10,000 USd to pay IRs for something that it isn't even my fault! Strategic Tax Services should pay....they were the one who filed late! I have no idea what to do or who to contact. I'm not even sure who to trust.
