National Audit Defense Network Inc NADN ripoff IRS Audit Scam Las Vegas Nevada
I heard a commercial from the National Audit Defense Network, they were giving a 1-800 number to contact them to get free information about HOT TAX TIPS. They were offering to send a book and a tape with tips on how to help you with your taxes and get more money back on your refund.
I called and while I was on the phone they get my information, name, address and credit card info, because they were charging "just" $6.95 for shipping and handling. After they got the info they started offering me another service, I think it was Tax and Finance support and coaching from their Tax Experts in case I was audited and I needed a Tax Expert to represent me. I told them I was not interested and they insisted and I said no.
They send me a 16 pages booklet (paperback) and a tape (I'm sure the cost to produce these 2 items was less than 6.95). There was a letter saying they had enrolled me in their Free Trial Program and in the event I got and Audit Notice (during this 30-day time frame) , to call one of their Tax Experts to represent me.
GUESS WHAT?
I got an AUDIT NOTICE from the IRS during the next 30 days. I had to go through the IRS interview and auditing and end up paying back over $2,000 back to the IRS.
I have been doing my taxes (myself) for over 15 years and never got audited.
I am wondering if this people uses my information to get the IRS to audit me, so I have to use their services. It was very suspicious that they offer me their service, I said NO and got audited to forced me to use their services anyway... I never called them to use their services, I refused to do it...This is obviously a SCAM.

#2Consumer Suggestion
Tue, April 15, 2003
The prospect of an audit being, let's face it, right up there with a root canal or your daughter marrying the son of Saddam Hussein; it is easy to see how this company appeals to your fears. Having sat through several small business "seminars" put on by people who basically give you the same "how to avoid an audit" program (I would bet the IRS has a set of the tapes too), let me offer a small suggestion. Even if they advertise heavily on your favorite radio program and build trust by association, you still do not know these people. Your taxes should be handled by someone you have truely established trust with. They need to be able to get to know you and your situation as well and they should want to. Get names from people you know and interview them yourself. You should be looking for an honest person who knows the law and keeps up with it. You need help and advice BEFORE you get to tax season and the really good people will provide it. You should avoid "tax preparers" who simply fill out the form after the fact and look for someone who can help you deal with the specific investment and income situation you have. Their philosophy should be "how can we satisfy our tax obligation and use the tax laws to our advantage to keep as much of our money as we can." Their emphasis should be on good documentation and business practices rather than simply avoiding an audit. As I write this, on a beautiful April 15th, our forms are already long done and a check may already be in the mail from the U.S. Treasury. The money I pay Bookkeeping and Managment Services for their expert help is well worth it. Think of it, wouldn't you rather face a question from the IRS with someone you know and have worked with than a complete stranger?
