US Tax Relief Agency - Michael Gill - Richard Hargus - Allison Quinn LIARS! SCAM ARTIST!!! AND THIEVES! Seal Beach California
I am so disgusted! I contacted US Tax Relief, in May 2005. My tax debt was $11,000... I too was told the magic number to make my problems go away would only cost me $2200.00 and they would settle my taxes for as little as $70.00. I didn't pay the full $2200.00, but $550.00 as a down payment and would make monthly payments until the remaining $1650.00 was paid in full. I allowed them to debit one payment off of my prepaid debit card as I was not comfortable giving them my real bank account info. The payment processed, I called to follow up and continue my payments.
Thank GOD I didn't!!! I too was advised that RICHARD HARGUS was the best tax advisor for "MY" situation! I called Richard about 15 or 20 times and spoke to him maybe 5 times, each time he assured me everything was going well, and he should have an answer of my settlement info soon. He also requested I fax information over to him to ensure I had all of my tax documentations was included in the process. I did, after calling him months and months I was given the same answers by Richard, allow a few more weeks, I received a call from Michael Gill requesting more money, I guess my gut instinct kick in at that point.
Then a few months passed and Allison Quinn called to inquire about the remaining balance. I advised I would get back to her. I'm outraged that I called today 03/13/08, to find out the status of my taxes, and get the message that they have filed bankruptcy!! I'm glad I did not finish making those payments. Does anyone know when they filed bankruptcy? I will be contacting the Attorney General Office, and filing a lawsuit for my money back!! I will now find a local tax attorney or speak to the IRS myself..
I'm a firm believer that "WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND----BAD KARMA IS COMING TO EVERYONE THAT HAD A PART OF THIS SCAM! GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU...

Rebuttal from Ex-Employee
#2UPDATE EX-employee responds

First I would like to comment that as an employee, I was instructed not to complete work for clients that had not paid in full for their services. There is substantial information that the client must provide in order to work on and complete their case. However, once all of the information is recieved (which I cannot verify since I do not know who this client is), I would not have been able to complete the work without the fees being paid to the company in full. With that said: As you may or may not be aware, USTRA has filed bankruptcy. They have not paid me to do any additional work or for some of the work that has been completed to date. Your contract is with Mr. Mike Gill and the United States Tax Relief Agency. I have no contract with you, nor have I received any of your money. In order to obtain a refund, you will need to contact them or file a claim against their assets in the bankruptcy. I discovered their bankruptcy when I called their office and heard a recording. They have now shut down their offices, their phones, and the USTRA client computer system from which I worked on cases. Therefore, I have no access to client information that was on the Goldmine system. Richard
