Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
These people, richard l. hargus and michale d. gill are thieves! They have strung us along after being hired to resolve a tax debt, but have done just enough to string us along. Now they claim to have filed bankruptcy with no proof of it...keep getting the same email trying to absolve Hargus from responsibility. If you check it appears that Michael D. Gill may be an alias for Hargus...who has scammed insurance claims and tax relief...what criminals. Sam has cancer and i'm only a teacher...how could they do this to people!!!

Am working with specialists to catch these guys and give them a new home...one that's easy to clean, where meals are supplied...too bad the toilet is right next to the bed in cells.

I WILL say that it appears Innocent2's strategy is to throw in a little valid information with a whole lot of BS in order to confuse. First of all, Allison Bell is NOT an attorney, as a matter of fact I would be surprised to hear that she has a high school diploma. I might also suspect that most of these posts are either made by Allison on her own, or by Allison under the direction of Gill (more specifically any post boasting on Allison's brilliance, education, or presence of integrity). Allison is a compulsive liar of the most severe extreme, taught to deceive by only the best (Gill). The Esq. name is a farce, most likely she just likes the sound of it. Allison is also known to go by the name Quenn Fredricks Secondly, Michael Gill is alive, though he would like nothing more than for EVERYONE (children included) to think otherwise, to disappear every few years and start new. The man is a lunatic. He has also been known to put businesses in the names of his children and family members (I assume without their permission as he has been disassociated from most every living relative), using their names and SS#'s. This way the new business isn't as easy to trace back to him. I do agree that payment should always be made by credit card, I believe that AmEx has a rather agressive policy as well, after a number of charge backs an individual will never be granted a business account again. I recommend always asking whether the business in question takes AmEx. Lastly, if you want to get a hold of Gill I suggest hounding the Employee Tax Benefits contact information. I would not be surprised if Allison is working for him again. Also be aware that real names are rarely used. Take note of the alias' mentioned in previous posts.

Anonymous, The source of all that information is from Allison. This makes me wonder what is really going on and if anything at all she stated was true or not. I do believe the motivation of telling all these lies are to avoid being served and prosecution. So why would she say all that and lie? James

RUMOR REPORT: Michael Gill is NOT dead .....

Sat, October 25, 2008

TO: "innocent" & "innocent2"....you are spreading rumors....Michael is NOT dead. Who are you really....Michael perhaps? 1) According to his ex wife...he is unfortunately with the living. 2) He also is not listed in public records with a death certificate. 3) Shame on you! This is a site for honest people rallying together for justice. An attempt to take fraudulent companies out of business...as they should be.

ALWAYS PAY BY CREDIT CARD! IT PROTECTS YOU! NEVER SEND A CHECK OR ALLOW ACH DEBITS!

#6UPDATE EX-employee responds

Fri, October 24, 2008

ALWAYS PAY BY CREDIT CARD! IT PROTECTS YOU! NEVER SEND A CHECK OR ALLOW ACH DEBITS! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THE COMPANY YOU PAID FOR SERVICES YOU NEVER RECEIVED. YOU WILL NEVER GET ANY RESPONSE FROM THE MANY PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS YOU SEND THEM. JUST SAVE YOUR TIME AND CALL YOUR BANK THAT PROVIDED YOU THE CREDIT CARD! If you paid the $2400 or up to $3500 on your credit card up front, the card issuing banks, as well as Visa and Mastercard guidelines, allow you the right to call the card issuing bank customer service department and request a refund/chargeback. And they will issue you an immediate/temporary credit of the full amount on your credit card. You will get an immediate refund, especially when services have not been provided yet. You also have a right to request a refund/chargeback within 6 months and up to 1 year after your purchase. It looks like the company United States Tax Relief Agency has already received several chargebacks, and they cannot fight them and win the chargeback dispute. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Because of all the disputes and reports on this company, they have changed their website and company names several times. For more reports on this company, go here: http://www.ripoffreport.com/searchresults.asp?q5=United+States+Tax+Relief+Agency&Search=Search&q1=ALL&q4=&q6=&q3=&q2=&q7=&searchtype=0&submit2=Search%21 This company has a history of bad business. If you do business with any company, beware of the following: 1. Changed several employees the past year. Employees not with the company that you spoke with in the past. That is a sign of internal company problems, bad management, disgruntled or unhappy employees. This is a warning sign. 2. Never return phone calls. 3. Never respond to your emails 4. If you threaten lawsuit, or reporting them, and if they finally respond and call you, you still need to make sure you don't waste your time listening to their explanation and assurance that they will take care of you. RUN! 5. Work out of their home 6. Owners who like to brag and drive around in expensive cars, live in penthouse suites, go to strip clubs, drink alot, and more. These are the people you do not want to do business with. They are in business for the money, sell you the world and how much they love you, make money fast, get rich, and spend more time drinking and playing with their toys. Instead, they end up creating problems with their employees and spend less time on the phone with their customers. They are no longer motivated to be in the office working for their customers. 6. Do not use email accounts from the company. Question the company and employees as to why they are using @gmail.com or @hotmail.com or @yahoo.com email accounts. Something is wrong here. 7. Change their websites several times. This is very common trick to avoid the embarrasment of NEW customers finding bad reports on the internet about them. If NEW customers do a Google search for that company's NEW name or website name, they will not see any negative search results, like from ripoffreport.com site. So that new customer will think the business is legitimate and can be trusted. 8. The company has an address on their website that is in another city, or is a PO box, and is not the physical address. 9. If they are good salesmen, they can say anything on the phone, and make tons of promises and guarantees, and they may convince you they are your best friend and care about your health, and your business, and guarantee to fix your IRS problem. How can they do that over the phone when they do not know you, never met you, and never called the IRS to get the status of your case to know you are telling them the truth. DONT FALL FOR THIS. Make sure you get everything in writing. Make sure you get them to say this in an email. You need facts and proof if you have to go to court. IF THEY MAKE GUARANTEES TO YOU OVER THE PHONE, THEY ARE LYING BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW THE DETAILS OF YOUR CASE YET. This is common sense! 10. If they say they are an attorney, check their name out on the State Bar websites like this one = http://members.calbar.ca.gov/search/member.aspx - If their name is not listed, question them and ask them for their license number. If they do not give it to you, or if it does not show up to verify their identity, do not do business with them. RUN! 11. Check their website out. See when the domain name was registered so you can see how new the website is. If they claim to be in business for 10 years, question them as to why their domain name is only 1-2 years old. 12. Check the Better Business Bureau out and see if they have complaints. 13. Anyone can say anything on the phone, and say this is why you should trust me. Any company can provide you 2-3 references of past customers. How do you know if those references are not just their friends lying? If the company says they have been in business for 10 years, search their company name and website name on the internet using Google. If their search results do not show any results, then something is wrong. Why is their name or website name not showing up. it is because the names are new. Question them! Make them show proof! 14. After talking to them for a few days on the phone and exchanging emails, take notes as to what they say. Then at the end before you pay them to retain their services, ask questions about their reputation, website address, state bar license #, etc. Then check them out on the internet to make sure everything they say is true or not. And lastly, if you are a customer and paid them within the last 12 months or less, and you did not get what they promised you, call your credit card issuing bank and charge the amount back! I HOPE THIS HELPS.

Here is additional information that may be very useful: 1. Michael Gill lost a child custody/divorce case against is ex-wife and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in back child support. 2. Michael Gill committed suicide months ago by prescription drug overdose. Check the police records in Long Beach, CA. 3. Allison Bell has complete ownership of the business and is the only one running the business. On 7/18/08, she told people the following statement = "The company was OURS (she meant Michael and her) 60/40. Then, I took it over 100%" This is the company website still online today www.employeetaxbenefits.org as you can see they are still open for business. Personally, i would never do business with a company that states their address in in another city (via PO Box) when in fact their office is in Long Beach. They have a small office now on Pine Ave @ 5th/6th Street. The phones still work as well, but when you call it is just an answering service person that takes the calls. 4. Allison Bell is being sued right now by Michael Gill's ex wife because Michael put in his will that the money from his life insurnce all go to Allison Bell, so she got alot of money as a result of Michael Gill's suicide, and nothing went to Michael's ex wife and kids. 5. Allison Bell is being investigated by the State Bar regarding numerous complaints. 6. Allison Bell (and I am really confused as to what her real name is) does not show up on the CA State Bar website http://members.calbar.ca.gov/search/member.aspx = so is she an attorney or not? I spoke to the State Bar hotline at 1-800-843-9053 Attorney Complaint Hotline and they said ALL attorneys must be registered and listed on the website. 7. Allison Bell states her name is Q. Allison Esquire in all her emails, and she said when she passed the bar exam, her last name was Gutierrez, but that last name does not show up on the CA State Bar website as well. 8. Allison has a myspace website http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=280938721 = notice her new stripper shoes and she has a youtube website as well = http://www.youtube.com/theadultvloggers and this site http://www.youtube.com/user/lolypopzncigretz IF ANYONE IS TRYING TO SUE MICHAEL GILL TO GET THEIR MONEY BACK FOR SERVICES NEVER RECEIVED, YOU SHOULD CHECK THE LONG BEACH POLICE RECORDS AND SEE IF HE PASSED AWAY TO BE SURE.

#12Consumer Comment

Sun, September 28, 2008

To those who are trying to serve Michael Gill legal papers: To have the attorney service 'get into' the building,(in Long Beach, as the Seal Beach is a PO Box) they can have a real estate agent take them in to view 9 of the properties that are for sale as of 9-27-08. To have the door opened, you can say it is a delivery, and the door(down stairs) was unattended. As for the comment from 'Allison bell'...you have NOT been Micheal's friend for over 8 years. Also, his ex wife is NOT on welfare. The pissed off Lexus owner is not his sister Stacy. He DOES have a criminal record, he has had several restraining orders on him due to his violent and abusive behavior. DOES ANY ONE HAVE A PICTURE TO POST FOR THE PROCESS SERVER?? DOES ANYONE HAVE EMAIL ACCOUNT ADDRESSES?? (as this is also a legitimate way to process serve the client)

Michael Gill and I had been friends for over 8 years. Where we had (and still have) our own issues, I never have known him to be a "Con Artist," or out to hurt any consumers of the United States Tax Relief Agency. I will tell you that Mr. Michael Gill started the United States Tax Relief Agency with the best of intentions. He hired Richard Hargus along with a small handful of other Enrolled Agents, all known to be the Best of the Best in this industry. In the last days of the United States Tax Relief Agency, I know that Michael was under a serious amount of stress due to several complaints from Clients not receiving contact from their Enrolled Agent. Where I believe Mr. Richard Hargus to be a good man and a fair man, I also believe the the fall of the United States Tax Relief Agency is partially due to Richards lack of communication with Clients and disorganization. Obviously, there were many interoffice problems, though I think it is unfair for the blame Michael soley. On a personal note, I am shocked in that my Home Address and personal information inclusive of the make and model of my vehicle has been posted on this site. Doing so has challenged my privacy and threatened my safety. Michael Gill and I do not speak anymore. The dynamics causing our estrangement is personal and I wish not to discuss. "Pissed Off Lexus Sc 400 Owner," I find it rather coincidental in that is the same car Michael Gill's Sister drives in addition to knowing extremely personal information about him, you also live in Los Angeles. Coincidence? Probably not. The allegations of violence from Michael Gill against me are untrue. I do NOT like this man at all, for very personal reasons, however he has never hurt me physically. Those rumors are untrue and disturbing. My "Sexual Fetishes" are of nobodies business and the fact that they have been shared here is horrible and extremely embarrassing. Finally, I do work for a major competitor of the United States Tax Relief Agency and I am moving, however not to Chicago. I signed a non-disclosure agreement with the United States Tax Relief Agency upon employment with them and take that very seriously. No consumer information has been used or shared with my current Firm. I hope that everything works out for each and every person involved. I offer my sincere apologies to those who have been hurt and I suggest that you stear clear of the Tax Litigation Industry as a whole. Seek the service of a Tax Attorney with a small case load with time to dedicate to your case individually. Larger companies will offer that "They handle more cases in a day than the average Tax Attorney will see in a year." That statement is not true. Most companies have Enrolled Agents working your case and these Agents have 100s of cases they work at a time. The chances of your case getting the required attention needed is slim to none. Also, if the company doesnt have a local office, dont retain them. There is something to be said about being able to look someone in the eye and even shake their hand. I do not wish to be contacted. If Mr. Michael D. Gill doesnt want to be found, he wont be. Pure and simple. Allison

I am not a former employee, however I know Michael D. Gill and a few of the girls that worked for him and A LOT about his personal life and information, call me a scorned lover. Unfortunately, a great deal of information is incorrect. Current address as of 8/27/08 700 East Ocean Boulevard, #2204 Long Beach Michael Gill does NOT own this property though one of his famous lines to lure young ladies in is "I live in luxury Penthouse on the 22nd Floor, overlooking the Ocean." He DOES drive a Black, 2007 Cadillac Escalade. He has owned it for a long time and has yet to put the licence plates on it because he is a pretencious axxxxxxx. The dealer plates are BLUE and WHITE with the word "ELHERS Cadillac, Beverly Hills" on them. The Escalade can be seen from the street on corner of Shoreline Drive and Ocean Blvd in Long Beach. His parking spot is on the corner, on the top level of the under-building parking garage. Should he have put his plates on the licence tags will read May 09, as he purchased the car in May. The licence plate also MAY be a vanity plate with a picture of a Whale Tail on it. Please dont confuse someone elses car for Michael Gill's Escalade as this building has several of the same car in it. Current Telephone Numbers as of 8/27/08 562 858 1190 and 562 599 9510 562 881 4710 is NOT a number that is appropriate to call, whatsoever! That number IS registered to Michael, however belongs to his 16 year old daughter. Harrassment of her is UNACCEPTABLE. She is an innocent party and doesnt need to be dragged into this. She is a child and that should be respected. Period. She does NOT live with her Father and rarely sees him. Michael Gill is a deadbeat Dad. He has an 11 year old son that barely knows him. Michael has never once paid any child support for his son. Michael's son and until recently, his Daughter, both lived with Michael's ex wife Martha Gill in Lakewood California. Interestingly enough, Martha is on State Welfare because Michael (as weathly as he claims to be) doesnt help support his children. Marth's Cell phone number is xxxxxxxxxx Michael DOES have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. He will go into a RAGE should you bring anything he hates around him or into his house. The OCD mostly is with the color yellow and paper. Michael is HEAVY drinker. Mostly Jack Daniels and Coke. He has his groceries delivered because he claims to have a knee injury from being an Olympian (Hard to believe considering he is 5'7 on a good day and tips the scales at 300 pounds). Michael claims to be agrophobia and afraid to leave his home. I would be afraid too had I frauded innocent people looking for help. Employee Tax Benefits is the newest scheme from this Criminal Mastermind. The concept is a pretty good idea. But, the fact that Michael would be behind the whole enterprise is frightening considering he is lazy. I dont know much about the company, really, just that he would have been able to retire from it. The Ladies of the united states tax relief agency and Michael Gill. All are INNOCENT of Michael Gill's schemes, though several of them may know how to find him and have a lot of information that may help a case against Michael. Please be respectful as ladies are good young ladies sucked into Michael Gill's Manipulation Ring. Allyson - She was an Assistant to Michael Gill when he first started the company. She knows the most about how it started, how many people it helped in the beginning, Michael's habits, Bank Accounts, and knows where many bodies are hidden. She had no idea of Michael Gill's manipulation. He is a very good salesman. She quit the company several times and Michael begged her to return each time. He saw her as perfect. She stopped believing his bullxxxx, I am certain. On many occasions, to clients, Allyson's name was used to help shield him from attacks from angry clients. Allison - She and Michael were "Best Friends" I am sure she knew that Michael is full of crap, yet she stood by him for years. She enjoyed "the good life" just as much as Michael in fact they shared that big fancy "Penthouse." I personally dont believe that she knew Michael was Manipulating his clients. She was very savvy in retaining clients and is highly educated and articulate (and is speaks as if she were Michael Gill's clone)and bragged to everyone about how she was helping people with their tax problems and she was very proud of that. She is VERY arrogant and loves flaunting expensive cars. Allison has a particular "sexual fetish" and is very well know in the Domination and Submission community, where her and I cross paths often. Michael and Allison were notorious for gambling sprees and drunken vacations together. She is probably YOUR BEST BET in finding the whereabouts of Michael Gill as even though she claims to hate him, she still seems to know where he is and what he is doing all the time. ***Allison NOW Lives 388 E Ocean Blvd, Long Beach (The Aqua Buildings). I am not sure which one she lives in or what unit, but I am sure that can be found should you contact the building manager. She now drives a brand new Mercedes E class. It is Black with dark tinted windows and a BIG white "USC" sticker on the back. ***The best part of the whole story...she NOW works for the USTRA's biggest compeditor and is rumored to be relocating to Chicago. ***She claimed at one time that Michael threatened physical violence on her and blamed her for the demise of his company because she didnt retain enough clients. Kathryn (Katie) From what I am told is that Michael met Katie while placing a drunken order at a take out place and she happened to remember his order from the previous day, so he hired her sight unseen. She was constantly late for work or not showing up at all. She was also one of Michael's drinking buddies and at one point I understand she went to a very adult themed nightclub with Allison. Michael manipulated her just like he manipulates every woman he meets, with his charm. ***Kathryn now is back in the restraunt business. The last place was Belmont Station in Long Beach, CA ***Kathryn also drinks a lot and visits many local bars in the Belmont Shore area in Long Beach. Most bartenders in said bars know "Katie." Christa (I think Christa was her pen name) Christa met Michael somehow while she was living on the east coast. He manipulated her and she moved in with Michael and Allison. She was young, under 30 for sure and very pretty which was shocking that Michael a bald, fat man could get such a beautiful YOUNG woman. They got engaged and she wore a 30 thousand dollar engagement ring. Michael hired her to do some stuff for USTRA and I guess she was mostly involved in collections. From what I understand, Michael was very abusive to her and attempted to change her. The story is very murky whether or not she left or he kicked her out. He claims that it was a positive break-up. What I do know about her is that she had a very sweet voice and that she was very nice with the clients of USTRA. ***Christa now lives back on the East Coast. I dont know much about her other than she had a bulldog. I know there is a lot of information that may not be relivant to everyone, but some people may need it. Michael used the quote "Justice isnt always swift, but it is always true." Funny for being such a liar and con artist, he was right about something. His USTRA victims, the ladies that worked for him and the ladies he has hurt in his private life will someday get justice and I believe that Michael will pay. Used08

The above information from the pissed off Lexus owner is all correct. Richard Hargus is a real person and has nothing to do with the scam. He found out too little too late what Michael Gill is all about. I agree with the above poster, please.. please.. keep the kids out of it. Michael Gill's home address is 700 E.Ocean Blvd Suite 2204 Long Beach Not that it matters now, though the intentions with the business in the beginning were legit. USTRA managed to help A LOT Of people, I know this for a fact.. though things seemed to spiral down hill at the first of 2008. The drinking, depression, the OCD. Now, it appears to just be one big mess. I don't know anything about the previous charges or implications made above.
