I was contacted by the Tax Club and they told me that I needed them if I was going to have a successful business, and I needed to purchase their tax service for $2, 300.
Once I realized what was going on, I called them up and told them that I had made a mistake and I didn't want their services anymore. I didn't know what I was thinking at the time and if they could refund me back part of what I had invested because really they hadn't done anything for me. I'm still waiting for a response.

I know that it is too late for me to recover anything but if can help prevent someone else from falling for their scam. I feel that I have served my purpose. I would like to say that they have been doing the same thing sense 2009 because that is when I fell for it. I read a report where the The Tax Club responded by saying that everyone makes mistakes. Well, what I have to say to that is, 2009. This is 2012 how long does it take to change your way of doing business.
Now here is what happened to me in 2009. I too started with PMI and stores online. Cost for mentor ship and training $4910. I talked with the mentor maybe twice. He did nothing for me and did not seem to know anymore than I about how to get started than I. Then from out of nowhere came The Tax Club telling me that I needed their services. I thought at the time it was all part of PMI and Stores Online. The first thing The Tax Club wanted to know was how many credit cards I had and how much credit was left on each card. Me being inexperienced and too trusting like many of the others with complaints I gave all the information requested. They told me I needed to get incorporated and gave the big spill that they wanted me to do this right. The fee was $3890 and $49.95 monthly fee for The Tax Club membership and Incorporating. Then they said that I needed to establish and set up corporate credit fee: $2900. Then they said that I needed to attend their web meetings. I tried telling them that I needed to put all my efforts into trying to set up a web page and try generating some income before I started all this but like others said the high pressure and that they could provide me with accelerated mentoring. So I proceeded but when they came back and said I needed a business plan. The fee, I don't remember but it was between $3000 and $4000 I think. It was about all I had left on my credit cards. After checking the Internet I found that I could get a business plan for a lot less and could even do it myself but they said that I needed to let them do it . That is when I realized that they was only interested in accelerating my credit card debt to the limit and they even tried to get me to try and raise the limit if I could. Which would increase their bank account. So I refused to let them do the business plan. I had already spent $11700 with no web page and no business set up to generate any income. They also wanted me to pay $800 to do a tax return and I didn't even have a business or web page set up. They also said that I could deduct these expenses. I did not let them do my taxes that year. My local tax consultant said that I could not deduct a home business expense until I generated some income. By that time I was too busy working all I could just to pay credit card debt and living expenses and had no money to work with and could not take on any more debt and they was still pushing me to apply for some of their high interest rate credit cards and financing recommendations. I said no and finally had to refinance my home to pay off credit card debt. All they did was sell me services that I did not need to start a business with me telling them that I would have no money to proceed with the business but they assured me that they could help me with that. But I could not handle any more debt without losing my home which I was not willing to do. I was already too close to that. This year I told my local tax consultant about The Tax Club membership and she said cancel the membership that it was a ripoff not my words the local tax consultants words. I came to this site and read the complaints and stopped the membership. I just want to confirm that it is my opinion that all the complaints on this site are valid and that they need to be stopped because I know they have been doing this sense 2009. because that is when they got me. My tax consultant said that I didn't even need to get incorporated until the business was proven to be successful. So all The Tax Club done for me was sell me things that I did not need at a very high price. I don't recommend PMI either.

CR CONSUMER RESOURCES IS A SCAM! Research them on the net. They've been scamming people for years!

It might not be too late for you actually. I had a company help me with The Tax Club and my transactions were 2 yrs old. I was able to recover 60% after the company named CR Consumer Resources fought for me for a couple of months until we could settle for more than the initial settlement refund they wanted to give me for 25%. I had lost almost 20k with them so I am a very happy and cheerful person now that I can put that nightmare behind me. the website address is www.crconsumerresources.com. I was very impressed with them. I thought because I was in the UK they couldnt help me but they did and they did a wonderful job.

Yardlady, contact your credit card company. I was just successful in getting a full refund. Were you also duped by Fortune Learning systems for the website? My visa card company said it would be at least 60 days before I hear back about my request from refund. I really hope we all get our money back. I've been unemployed for the last several months and really needed this to work. I have since moved my site to homestead and just got it back up after FLS shut me down for a week.

Best of luck.

I signed up for the my essentials plan last August. All I wanted to do was to make a little more income to make life a little easier. Boy was I wrong. I too had my website almost finished. Then, no more phone calls and could not access the website. I've been trying to keep everything going since I lost my husband a couple of years ago. My kids are grown but still living here with me. I thought this would be a good way to make some income. Now I am about 25k in debt and don't know what to do. I think how dumb can I be at 52! Well now, I can at least thanks to all these complaints I can get my butt up and see if I can get my money back at least some. Thanks for the info. And I will be letting my state representitives know. If you have any more suggestions you can contact me at yardladymd@hotmail.com

Just to let you know, I too was scammed into the tax club and their other division of my essential plan through fortune learning systems who has now been shut down by the FTC. I contacted the tax club customer service via a message posted in this forum. My first contact with them to request a full refund was 3/8/11. As of today 3/16/11 I have been notified by Nicole - customer service manager that I will receive a full refund. Of course talk is cheap so let's see if they deliver. Below is the information I used to contact the tax club. Hope it helps.

" For those who have been scammed by the Tax Club, here is some vital info you may want to have. You can call and write this guy who is in charge over there along with his partners.

Hi there

I'm another victim of The Tax Club and now find myself in allot of financial trouble and was wondering if you achieved anything and if the investigation got a positive outcome for victims like us?
Any feedback would be much appreciated.

I signed up with The Tax Club over 6 months ago and I have YET to see them make good on anything they said they were going to do! In our phone consultation, I was told that all I had to do was pay the initial fee of ($4500) and I would be able to get my business off the ground. MOMENTS after my phone consultation, the money was taken right off my credit card. They just couldn’t wait to start ripping me off!
I started receiving calls from them nonstop, always asking for more money. I’m a single mother and with this economy, that initial fee was hard to come by. Now they need more money for bookkeeping, payroll and lots more. I didn’t need many of these services as it’s just me but they told me that my business was doomed to fail if I didn’t get them. So I did. Each time I received a charge from them, it showed up as something totally different. The first charge was Manhattan Professional Group then it was All Access Books and Business Document Center and after the last call it was Vital Payroll, Inc. Why did they charge me under different names? A legitimate company, one that provides the services that it claims to, charges under the same name. For all I know Billy Joe Bob in Tumbleweed, Arkansas is getting my money.
I’ve called them on numerous occasions and every time getting a different answer. I have been told that a supervisor would contact me and I have yet to hear from him. I’m starting to think this person doesn’t even exist. Who does business like this?
($17, 400) later, I am now on food stamps, facing a potential bankruptcy and God knows what else all because I trusted these people and they didn’t hold true to their word. The Tax Club (Manhattan Professional Group, All Access Books and Business Document Center or Vital Payroll, Inc. whatever they want to call themselves) hasn’t done anything but take food from my children’s mouths. I can’t feed them with empty promises! The worst business decision I have ever made was to get into bed with these crooks. I was struggling then and now I’m worse! I’ve had to change my number several times because creditors keep calling for money and thanks to The Tax Club, I CANT PAY THEM! I thought the feeling of being ripped off from The Tax Club was bad. Try having to send your children to school with clothes too small because you didn’t have the money to buy them new school clothes. Or the pressure of making the little bit of money I get from food stamps stretch all month so my kids don’t go hungry. This is no way to live.
I contacted my attorney on the steps that I needed to take in order to get my money reimbursed and he referred me to another law firm that better deals with companies like The Tax Club, whose sole purpose seems to be to bankrupt unsuspecting people like myself. I spoke with Richard at [protected]. He was really helpful and considerate of my situation, which is a lot more than I received from the “consultants” at The Tax Club. I did not have to pay anything upfront like The Tax Club, which gave me peace of mind. I couldn’t afford to get ripped off again. I was required to follow up with him a lot more than I had hoped for but all and all, it has been a success. I got my money and I’m just going to do the steps of opening my business the BEST way…and that’s WITHOUT The Tax Club.

So, to sum up everything...
Savings…GONE Business…FAILED Bankruptcy…ALMOST Government Assistance…YUP Feeling like you can’t provide for your children…CHECK
All thanks to the one and only The Tax Club, I mean Vital Payroll, Inc. Whoops! The Manhattan Professional Group. Oh, I’m sorry they have so many names :/
But after speaking with Richard….
Getting my money back and sticking it to The Tax Club ….PRICELESS!

What! do you work for them or something ?
Gave you service well you must be one in 5 billion people. this is a compaints site not a promotion site for them.
People who come here and write are not lying or misleading they Got Rippped of by these [censor]. So people who read articles wont fall into the same trap.
Sorry but your comment has shown me how dumb your really are and i dont believe you for a second of what you said

Paid $3890 with a recurring $49.95 monthly for a service that promised everything and delivered nothing. All of the so called educational telephone training sessions turned out to be more sales pitches. I listened to several and learned that each one of these calls started out with the same two questions. Remember these two questions they will tell you alot about the company itself.

1. How much money have you already put into the business off of your credit cards?
2. How much available credit do you still have on your credit cards?

All they wanted was to sell you more of nothing. I was referred by another company known as PMI. How can they continue to take advantage of people? Life and learn some time costs you plenty of $.

Stay away from THE TAX CLUB and PMI EDUCATIONAL.

I got involved with The Tax Club through PMI. Immediatly after paying PMI $9220 in Sept. 08 they turned my name over to The Tax Club. For 4 months they bombarded me with calls wanting more money for another service I had to have to be a business. They have mislead and pressured me into paying them around $14, 000 and I have gotten almost nothing in return. After 4 months I am still not incorporated as a business which was the first thing they were supposed to do. I cancelled one service and they kept most all of the money. I have spent many hours on emails and phone calls complaining and trying to get something done right. I am now filing a complaint with the New York Attorney Generals Office and I hope others who have bad dealings with The Tax Club will do the same. They need to be investigated and stopped from ripping off people.

I received a phone call from someone from the Tax Club implying that they were working with my coaches from another program. The information they provided sounded good although I was a little puzzled as to how they got my number.

Anyway, I verbally accepted joining their program and various appointments were made. However, after I hung up, had more of a think about what they had said, decided to do some research and found out that maybe they weren't quite what they said. Consequently I rang back and left a message to say that I had changed my mind and wasn't going to go ahead.

Received an email from their billing department confirming the cancellation. But, the day after I received the email they took out the fee from my account. As far as I was concerned, this was unauthorised as there had been nothing in writing, as well as already having cancelled the whole thing.

Two days later they issued a refund which came back $184 less than I had paid. When I contacted them they said it was because of the exchange rate (I'm in Australia) and there was nothing they could do about it. To me that seems like buying something for full price and returning it when a sale is on and being refunded at the sale price. I think they should have refunded exactly what I paid.

I did send them another email expressing my dissatisfaction, but to date have had no reply.

I'm annoyed by the whole experience. Just shows that you really need to check things out before agreeing to anything. They did sound really good when they first contacted me. Most probably won't see my outstanding money but would appreciate any help with this.

I wished I had done my research on The Tax Club. Here I am with others that have been scammed, ripped off, cheated and most of my dreams went down the toilet. I invested thousands of dollars into this company. Now I have nothing, except a big burn hole in my pocket. Creditors will be calling soon. I can imagine what my credit score will be. If I can get out of this huge hole that The Tax Club has put me in. I wonder what if, I did it to them what kind of response I would get? How do people function and sleep at night knowing they are doing this to people that have been taken advantage of. Being on disability I have no idea how I can get out of this mess.
How things got started is Stores Online of course, then PMI. From there The Tax Club comes and says not to many people get the chance to work with the us. I must of had SUCKER written all over my name. At the beginning I was told you'll get your start up costs back at the end of the year. Well the year went by and now I see $0 amount of money. Now I am being told that it will be potentially be done. You want to talk about a knife going through my heart in a matter of seconds. My dreams ripped out of my body. Oh and yes my Website still isn't done...

I was directed to this company through Real Estate services. Upon first contact with the company I was under the impression that all services and filing fees related to my businesses licenses and tax preparation and filings were covered in the startup fee, monthly, and annual fees. Against my better judgement we signed up for them. They did some preliminary work on our account and gave some business setup advice. We were currently an LLC and they filed a status change to S-Corp (something that is simple to do with minimal legal advice). Now tax season is upon us and we had not thought about this company till now. We called and were advised to use the online tax document filer so that they can get our tax information for preparation. After entering in the information (identical to Turbo-Tax or H&R Blocks online tax prep software), we were told that there would be fees associated with filing (remember we were told that all filing fees were included in the service).
I asked to talk to someone and was told that there was no one there that I could talk to about this (Wednesday afternoon). I was directed to the billing dept. After a long talk on the phone and mounting frustration and anger I asked what I need to do to file for a refund as I felt I had the services had been misrepresented. They told me that I would not be eligible for a refund as they had already done a lot on my account and it had been more than 90 days. (Again, the only work they had really done was send out some blanket documents explaining who they were and what they offered, and filed a change of status form from LLC to S-corp.) I could have done all that for a couple of stamps and a couple hours of my own time.

DO NOT FALL INTO THIS TRAP! Unless you are a VERY LARGE corporation that would likely have you r own slew of accountants anyway, this is not worth your time. WHAT A WASTE OF $2017 for 6 months of misrepresented non-service.

I was contacted by this company and decided to compare services that I had just signed up for at another company. The tax club told me that the company I had signed up for wasn't a company that could give me all that I needed and that they could give me all the other company gave me and much much more. That their company far exceeded the service that the company I had just signed with had to offer. They really use undue influence to get you to sign up. I signed and decided after to check back with my first company and immediately got that bad gut feeling for the tax club. I called the tax club back and cancelled my contract. They returned some of my money, but withheld $895.00 for what they called administrative fees. We had a few words about thier charges and business practices as a means of scamming victims. I then placed a complaint and dispute with my bank, (Bank of America), which I found will sell you down the river faster than the scamms themselves. The purpose of this complaint is to save others from becoming victims of both The tax Club and the Bank of America. Save yourself the pain and disappointment as well as the financial losses of dealing with these companies. Don't become a victim.

They serve NO Purpose whatsoever other than taking your money, they are Professional Con-Artists. I knew someone who currently works there and bragged about his Manager named Bert who had ripped off a woman out of $3K by appealing to her spirituality. She was also recently in an accident and was on meds so she wasn’t in her right mind.

This person was so arrogant and condescending about pitching people I am confident karma will get him in the end.

In the meantime, I advise everyone to check the NY Better Biz. Bureau, get on the Internet and spread the word about this scam. They will NOT help you after you pay them their fees. I was personally told this by my now ex-friend!

I should have known from the beginning that that this company wasn't legitimate. One of there representatives called me and told me they were calling on behalf of Legal Zoom. When I asked him what the status of my DBA was, he told me to check with Legal Zoom...? That was the first clue that something fishy was going on. Next, the sales person told me that tax wise, I shouldn't have picked a limited liability corporation. I told him that LLC stood for Limited Liability Company, and that for tax purposes I was being considered an S-Corporation. Again, he seemed confused. The next 30 minutes was a high pressured sales pitch where he insisted my company would fail if I did not purchase their glorious services. At the end I gave in, considering it would be easier to pay someone else to do all of this work early. After that sales call, I've received half a dozen more calls all with false promises. Promises like "you'll get all of your start up money back in taxes" or "we'll get you a business grant" or "we will help you get your website up and running" or "we'll do your taxes on time". They promise one thing and they do another. Seems like the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing; poor organization. Check the Better Business Bureau's website to see all the complaints they have. The Tax Club is a mess, stick with a local CPA. They can do it in 1/10th of what you end up paying to these thieves.

I am so sorry to hear. I am in the same boat with them. They are complete weasels with no regard, at all, for actually providing the service they sell.

I also, was a victim of this online company. I was devastated when every time they called it was for another charge for something else in order to set-up the program. I also was as victim of the 3 day back out option. I am so glad that something is being done about this company and thank you for the information sites to go to for help. I tried to back out but my 3 days were over the weekend.

Everyone...think about it! You are using a business affiliated with others - of course they are going to try and sell you something else. I have had the same calls and just said no!...you don't need to buy anything else...The club itself is great. Their advice on structuring my company and forming my S Corp as well as my LLC's has been invaluable. You feel like it is a scam because they are trying to sell you something - but if you are using them in the first place than you are probably a business owner and isn't selling what you do everyday. Take it easy and do some research - go pay your CPA $325 an hour so he can tell you nothing...

Wait for an audit than try and contact your CPA. He'll probably tell you to get your lawyer and than the both of them can collect the big bucks while you sit and wait for answers...keep being skeptical-you can always just sit there and do nothing

I was taken for app 30, 000 and still need another 15, 000 to get a web site and virtual office.i was unemployed and this is causing financial distress.Wish i never heard of these people.Will they refund your money, anything is a good thing for now?

I was led to the tax club after joining Real Estate Coaching program which turned out to be PMI. After trying to back out because I was unemployed and living on my savings, a very high preassure salesman told me I needed this because I could get a business line of credit which would allow me to take all of the money I invested on my small business and put it onto my corporate credit. Sounded great, but after paying $4500 for there most affordable package, I found out that the biz credit was a separate service which would cost an extra $3000. As if to compensate, he sends me an email saying that through my membership with the Tax Club I can benefit from their relationship with various credit cards and qualify for a biz credit card in 30 seconds. Wow! The only problem was that the credit companies had no knowledge of this so called "relationship."

Then I was told that my membership included a corporate service which would form an LLC and DBAs for me. They even gave me 4 DBAs for the price of 2. What a deal, huh? As it turns out, this "service" consisted of them downloading free PDF forms from the state website and filling in my name and address along with my LLC and DBA names, and then mailing them to me with instructions for me to send my fee to the state. The forms included a legal firm in Cinncinati listed as my Registering Agent. After talking to the State, I found out that I would be billed for this legal service. The Tax Club assured me that this legal service was included in my membership, but when I asked if it would still be included after my membership expired or was cancelled, they could not hel but admit that I would be responsible for paying for this "service." To top it off, the LLC/DBA forms were not filled out correctly, so I had to download them myself and fill them out. This took about 10 minutes. I then mailed them myself. They charged my credit card $149 for this "Corporate Service." When I finally managed to cancel and get a refund, they would only do so after retaining a 15% "Processing Fee."

Do not be swayed by these snake-oil salesman. They are deceptive and fraudulent. If there is a class action suit brewing, I would gladly sign on.

Hello George,

Just like you I am with StoresOnline, PMI and I WAS with the Taxclub.
We have one Website that is being marketed right now and hopefully we will make some sales in the not too distant future.

About the first 2 companies (SOL and PMI) I can be quite positive sofar but the Taxclub was a real trap.
Exactly the same experience as you had, they literally talked me into joining the Taxclub for indeed $3890.
And almost every phonecall ended up with :
How is your creditcard today ?

I was promised a business line of credit which turned out to be BS because I live in Australia, not the USA.
Now I don't believe they didn't know this !
Then I was told to create a bankaccount in the USA :
SAME story ! I am NOT a USA citizen so NO bankaccount could be created.
Apart from that do I need to pay tax in the USA ? Being an Australian citizen I don't think so !

They finally gave me back $895 US dollars but refused to refund the remaining $2995 US.
Because the creditcard transactions were just over three months old I went to my bank (ANZ) and requested a transaction dispute of all the transactions being done by the Taxclub.

Two weeks ago I got a very nice surprise in my mailbox :
ALL transactions had been made UNDONE (including the one of $895) and I got my money BACK !
I consider the extra $895 as a compensation for the interest of 3 months I had to pay ANZ after being charged by the Taxclub (which was almost $6200 AUS).

The ANZ bank has done a tremendous good job and hopefully I will be succesful with my website(s)
Without the their enormous power I certainly would have lost a hell of a lot of money !

My mother used this system and she got scammer guard to help out. Check out there site its www.scammerguard.com. Very nice people!

Anyone who works at the tax club should be ashamed of themselves for being assoicated with such a low company. I will refrain from repeating all that has been written about this club already, but the same thing happened to me also. I canceled within 10 days but since I was past the initial 3 days most of my "services" had already been provided. Two days after being talked into an S Corp I decided I wanted to start as a sole P instead, but could never get in touch with anyone at the tax club. Within 3 days, I had a useless EIN for a company I'm not starting, corporate bylaws which I refused at the door but was still charged for, and a generic "tax plan" which is basic tax info you can get from one book at the libary. Meanwhile, no one would return my calls, and the few calls I received for more sales pitches were eastern time, when I had specifically requested central time for all calls. These people are worthless and low!

Well said Terry Dold. I am so angry I wasted around $3000 for a useless program. I am in Australia and they promised to do everything to set up a fully functioning US based company for me but all they did was file the paperwork (even a donkey could do this) and I filled out all the forms anyway. Other than that the [censor] have done next to nothing and yet take significant $US30 a month for being as useless as can be. It is unbelievable. It is a scam and what they don is basically steal your money.

The Tax Club is nothing but a scam. They will milk your credit cards for every $ possible. They are smooth talkers and put on a heavy sales pitch. They do provide actual services which is why they haven't been put in jail, but everything is drastically overpriced. After paying nearly $3, 000 membership, they set up appointments for 'counseling sessions'. These sessions are just additional sales calls selling more overpriced services. Learn from someone who has been burned, STAY AWAY.

The Tax Club Called me too after signing up with Global Cash Flow. The first correspondence from GCF was about the "Free Consultation they had arranged with "The Tax Club" to help me with the business end and taxes for my business.
They called and I told them that I already had a business name (for 14 years). They said I had to get a new one and to set up a new bank account for the new business name they were going to help me decide on. I told them that I would use the one I already had, but they said I had to set up a new one. That was two lies right there. It is not required that I set up a new business name or a new bank account. Then they told me that they would be handling the tax end of my business and then wanted all of my husband's financial information. I told them that he was a farmer and had nothing to do with this. They still wanted his Social Security number. I did not give it to them.

Then I received papers for me to sign that they had filled out, which they had taken the liberty of obtaining a Small Business Corporation form, already filled - with a new ID number with the IRS. I had already told them that our tax accountant had told us years ago for my business to be set up as a Proprietorship, not a corporation. They also had filled out my name as the shareholder and that i had 100 shares or percentage of ownership. The form said for me to sign and date it and to fill in my social security number, which I did not do. I already had a business tax number and did not want another one, yet I got forms from them, showing I had a new different number - with more signatures requested.

I called the IRS in Cincinatti, OH about these forms and told them what all was going on. They told me not to sign any of these forms, but to send the IRS form back to them with, "Cancel" the number on it. They said it would not be activated but could not be cancelled -- and to NOT sign any of the forms they sent.

I am 63 years old and do not need all this confusion in my life at this time. By the time I got the information and read through it, I realized I was way over my head, thanks to all of this red tape and controversy. I told them to cancel this Tax Club program and to refund my money. I got an email from the only girl I had even spoken to there saying it had been cancelled. My credit card company filed a reversal. Now after 4 months, The Tax Club has come back with a from saying I had to cancel within 3 days and that I did not cancel until the 15th day and that they had sent me a form through email to return to them - which I never received. They certainly had no problem in sending me all sorts of forms through the mail for me to sign, but when it came to refunding money, they send emails? That shows how little integrity they have. I never heard of the ladies who said they sent emails. How strange that neither were in The Outlook Express folder of all the emails received. Now 4 months later they are refusing to refund any of my $3850 because of a form they are now saying was sent to me through email.
FOLKS, STAY AWAY FROM THESE SCAM ARTISTS. They did nothing but fill out some forms and Mail them to me for me to sign, which I did not, on the advise of the IRS. They charged me more that our tax accountant has ever charged us to do both my taxes and our farm's taxes combined, in fact, it was about 6 times what our accountant charges and he has done our taxes for 42 years! We need to stop these bandits. Between Global Cash Flow Network and their referring me to The Tax Club (1st correspondence received from them), plus an internet site for a mall to be set up on the website, for another $2495, and nearly $7, 000 for GCF. There were 3 or 4 other affiliates that were calling to get a piece of the action, too. These folks have a racket going. We all need to write the BBB in both in any states these businesses are located in. The TAX CLUB IS NOT A BBB Accredited business and has already had over 67 complaints, 47 of which were in the last year. Global Cash Flow has had 110 complaints and has an F rating. HELP STOP THIS !

The Tax Club makes you believe that they are an honest company. After I signed the credit card then all of the phone calls came. These people are high pressure salespeople that won't take no for an answer. They have good tricks to get you to continue to order services. I wanted to start a online drop-shipping business on ebay. They kept telling me if I didn't get their services that my company would fail. I ended up $35, 000 in debt with out any of the services provided. I feel that I have been completely scammed by this company. I hope people take the time to check out whom ever they are planning to do business with so they don't get scammed like I did.

I have just been contacted and they introduced themselves and part of a drop shipping company to help me with my business and then they said that they could set me up with a ltd company, after I explained that a company just tried to rip me off (Precision Corp). they wanted to start an llc company for me that had 330 tax deductions in Wyoming. I phoned a company from Wyoming and they confirmed to me that a company that they could not recall had tried to solicit a place on their web page for a service that would cost 3899.00. The gentlemen told me that I could get the same services for just less than what they were asking. Needless to say that when they called me back i said no. their only reply was no with a disgruntled understanding. I was relieved, cause that disgruntled reply told me what they were up to. Now as for this present company that you all are telling me about also comes from the empire state building lol. they are supposed to phone me tomorrow at 10:30 to talk with me for about 45 minutes how they could set me up all legal like and still comply with the Canadian government. I think this promises to be a treat. I am still going to research a little more yet. The problem is that this all comes after you have joined a mentoring service from the net. Even the mentoring service i joined was bulling when i asked for a refund. Now I don't even know what to do about that. I contacted my credit card company and when I mentioned BBB they kind of froze with hesitation in helping me with my situation. Sad that companies are intimidated by the thought of dealing with such authority. Makes me question any company's backbone. Where does the little guy get true help when he needs it.

The Tax Club is full of dishonest people, who will not call you back. My story is that I did not realize there was a 15 day refund policy, but I started before the 15 days. Except the emails would not go through, voicemails would not return my calls, until after 15 days. Therefore they are telling me, they can cancel my membership but I will get no money back. They are definately another internet scam company. We lost big and they just yell at you on the other end of the phone.

tax club rang me today 7-march 2010 they are high pressure sales people want me to sign up and told me that my online hosting company gave them all my files and i needed to set up a LLC and EIN so that no one could sue me and this would protect my assets now. I was concerned about them haveing my details. The guy Evan R and Domenic S who's only words were Good morning said it was very important to set up a coportate idendity. He went on to tell me it would cost $2390 a one off fee. Also that this fee covered lawyers the legal documents and i had to do nothing at all as that's what the fee was for. I replied well I dont have any money available and dont work so i cant pay this money at all. This did not distract him at all and he went on to say how he could organise a credit card with 0% interest for 12 months also a line of credit for $10, 000 US dollars to use soley as a buisness card to help with tax and payment. I replied but if Im not working no bank, credit card company would give me credit and why would i get into mor debit when I have no money now. He said this thats not a problem we can sort all that out. I listened and he went on to say this can you confirm your Credit card details for security reasons. I replied well if you have them why do i need to give them too you he went on and said well we need to check that we have the correct details. I replied ok and gave him a credit card which i knew was stopped and told him it was not usuable, the Second i gave it to him he went off the phone came back about a minute later and said yeah that card is stopped do you have Phone number for the credit card company its on the back. I said no I cant see one there. He said well can you go to your bank and get the card released. I said they wont do that, he replied well how did you pay for your hosting company was it over a period of a few days since your limit is only $1000 i said not i paid with paypay he replied no we dont use them nor do we take checks. He then said ok you go to your bank get the card opened and i will ring you saturday the 18 april is that ok i said yeah ok and we left it at that. So i am very supicious about him going as quick as he could to try to get the payment also I wont use paypay ? now from what i have read here and on other sites they are a rip off he also said the rent the entire 60 th floor of the Empire state building and are not a small company and defineatly not involved in scams. Well have no intention going to my bank nor doing anything with them at all So Beware all about them

scammed us out of $ 2000.00 with promises of help with our newly formed corp. we have basically been left alone since day one hard to speak with a person almost impossible... then they are extremely rude, not angry pissed off... in this economy 24.95 per month then fee once yearly for mailing then fees for e filing unbelievable, total almost 3, 000.00 in two years for tax service 10 min conversation once a year, trying to cancel service now... how is a small business supposed to get started, when the people you think are going to help you leave you dangling in the wind...sharonpolito@verizon.net

The Tax Club scammed me for approx 6-10K. They promised bookkeeping services for my LLC... Well, due to delinquent accounting the LLC was closed down. The Tax Club are trying to say that they have fulfilled their obligations and will not refund. Maybe I am daft but an LLC being closed down for delinquent accounting (by a bookkeeping company) would seem to be a.. SCAM! Not happy at all. Don't use.

My late husband got ripped off from The Tax Club. I want the money back. The account went to collection. I ended up paying 550 dollars. What a complete ripoff. My phone # is [protected]. My email is lindaifield9@live.com. Please help!

I signed up for The Tax Club because it was referred to me by legal zoom. At the time I was told there was an initial fee of $1600 and a monthly fee of $20. This ensures tax preparation every year.

The first 2 years went smoothly. Now they are telling me I need to pay $895 a year for tax prep in addition to the $20 per month. I was never told of this fee and they have no documentation of any such fee.

The original contract says nothing about a tax prep fee. They have apologized to me for forgetting to mention the $895.00 per year fee, however they will not refund any of my money. They also have admitted that there is no documentation anywhere of any such fee.

I have 2 small children to support and a struggling small business. I never would have signed up had I been informed about these fees. If there is ever a class action suit against The Tax Club I want to be involved, please contact me.

I am out a lump sum of $1600.00 along with $20 a month since Aug of 2008 equaling $600. Plus additional fees that have cropped up now and again that I haven't questioned in the past. If I had stayed with my original accountant from before I signed up with The Tax Club I would have paid a total of less than $600.00 for the past 2 years of tax prep.

Accelerated Mentoring gave these people my phone number and they began calling me to offer business set up and tax services. They talked me into paying them $8000 for setting up an S Corp and lifetime tax services. They failed miserably at these services, but kept up the high pressure sales pitch insinuating that I was too dumb to operate a business without pay them huge sums for their help. This is a SCAM bigtime. AVOID.

First of all, when I did more research Anthony Morrison and The Tax Club ARE the same company so the only [censored] here is YOU! The Tax Club has their hands in a lot of other scams so if I have to post my story everywhere that The Tax Club is mentioned then I will do it because they are nothing but a scam! Anything to make others aware of these people.

Kittykatlover, I'm not sure why you haven't been able to reach him. Did you try leaving a message for him to contact you back? I had to leave a message the first time I called but was able to get through every other time I called so that's very weird hearing that. I'm sorry.

Richard doesnt answer his phone EVER! Message says you have reached the legal department, please leave a message. Sounds like another scam to me. Probably the tax club.

GoGoGale is FULL OF CRAP! http://www.scambook.com/report/view/171458/Anthony-Morrison-Complaint-171458-for-$17, 400.00

THIS PERSON HAS BEEN POSTING ON DIFFERENT COMPANIES WITH THE SAME POST. ITS A LIE! DO NOT BELIEVE IT AND THE [censored] IS PROBABLY ON FOODSTAMPS!

Anthony Morrison
Complaint 171458 DetailsThumbs up0 Thumbs down Flag
Date Occurred:04/07/2012Reported Damages:$17, 400.00
I signed up with Anthony Morrison’s seminar “Secrets of a Self-Made Internet Millionaire” or PMI over 6 months ago and I have YET to see them make good on anything they said they were going to do! I was told that all I had to do was pay the initial fee of ($4500) for a “workshop” and I would be able to get my business off the ground. Boy was I wrong!
I started receiving calls from them nonstop, always asking for more money. I’m a single mother and with this economy, that initial fee was hard to come by. Now they need more money for website development and lots more. I didn’t need many of these services as it’s just me but they told me that my business was doomed to fail if I didn’t get them. So I did. Why did they charge me under different names? A legitimate company, one that provides the services that it claims to, charges under the same name. For all I know Billy Joe Bob in Tumbleweed, Arkansas is getting my money.
I’ve called them on numerous occasions and every time getting a different answer. I have been told that Anthony Morrison or Adrian Morrison would contact me and I have yet to hear from him. I’m starting to think they don’t even exist. Who does business like this?
($17, 400) later, I am now on food stamps, facing a potential bankruptcy and God knows what else all because I trusted these people and they didn’t hold true to their word. Online Strategies, whatever they want to call themselves, hasn’t done anything but take food from my children’s mouths. I can’t feed them with empty promises! The worst business decision I have ever made was to get into bed with these crooks. I was struggling then and now I’m worse! I’ve had to change my number several times because creditors keep calling for money and thanks to PMI, I CANT PAY THEM! I thought the feeling of being ripped off from Anthony Morrison was bad. Try having to send your children to school with clothes too small because you didn’t have the money to buy them new school clothes. Or the pressure of making the little bit of money I get from food stamps stretch all month so my kids don’t go hungry. This is no way to live. I mean I wanted to start a business so I wouldn’t have the worries and stressors of making ends meet.
I contacted my attorney on the steps that I needed to take in order to get my money reimbursed and he referred me to another law firm that better deals with companies like PMI, whose sole purpose seems to be to bankrupt unsuspecting people like myself. I spoke with Richard at [protected]. He was really helpful and considerate of my situation, which is a lot more than I received from the “consultants” at PMI. I did not have to pay anything upfront like PMI or Online Strategies, which gave me peace of mind. I couldn’t afford to get ripped off again. I was required to follow up with him a lot more than I had hoped for but all and all, it has been a success. I got my money and I’m just going to do the steps of opening my business the BEST way…and that’s WITHOUT Anthony Morrison’s help or the help of PMI…WHOOPS! Online Strategies. Whatever THEY want to call themselves, I’m just going to stick to calling them SCAM ARTISTS!

So, to sum up everything...
Savings…GONE
Business…FAILED
Bankruptcy…ALMOST
Government Assistance…YUP
Feeling like you can’t provide for your children…CHECK
All thanks to the one and only Anthony Morrison and this outfit that he’s running.

After speaking to Richard, I got something a lot more valuable than I thought I would…Satisfaction!
Getting my money back and sticking it to Anthony Morrison ….PRICELESS!

All thanks to the one and only The Tax Club, I mean Vital Payroll, Inc. Whoops! The Manhattan Professional Group. Oh, I’m sorry they have so many names :/
But after speaking with Richard….
Getting my money back and sticking it to The Tax Club ….PRICELESS!

In our phone consultation, I was told that all I had to do was pay the initial fee of ($4500) and I would be able to get my business off the ground. MOMENTS after my phone consultation, the money was taken right off my credit card. They just couldn’t wait to start ripping me off!
I started receiving calls from them nonstop, always asking for more money. I’m a single mother and with this economy, that initial fee was hard to come by. Now they need more money for bookkeeping, payroll and lots more. I didn’t need many of these services as it’s just me but they told me that my business was doomed to fail if I didn’t get them. So I did. Each time I received a charge from them, it showed up as something totally different. The first charge was Manhattan Professional Group then it was All Access Books and Business Document Center and after the last call it was Vital Payroll, Inc. Why did they charge me under different names? A legitimate company, one that provides the services that it claims to, charges under the same name. For all I know Billy Joe Bob in Tumbleweed, Arkansas is getting my money.
I’ve called them on numerous occasions and every time getting a different answer. I have been told that a supervisor would contact me and I have yet to hear from him. I’m starting to think this person doesn’t even exist. Who does business like this?

i signed up with them yesterday and per my readings of the scams I decided to cancel my "membership" as they call it. They were very talkative as to why I need their services to make my eCommerce business successful. I had to tell them about 10 times that I just want to cancel and per the agreement I have 3 business days to do so. Finally after a 30 minute phone call, they submitted the cancellation. Now I just need watch my bank account and make sure the money gets refunded! Starting an eCommerce business should never cost you almost $5k just for tax services!

I decided to check out this company on the Internet before they called back tomorrow to get us to sign up. Boy! Am I glad I did! My husband thought it was very expensive as I did. They did give us good information on their initial call, but we are going to go to a good local tax attorney too. Thanks, everyone who wrote about what happened to them with "The Tax Club".
