The Tax Club is a Scam! I got scammed by the Tax Club
The Tax Club is a scam! They work with other companies, that set up fake businesses for you and then tell you that you need their services for your business.. I mean, fake business. The Tax Club scammed me out of 20k. That's a lot of money. I got some help from a company called CR Consumer Resources and they helped me get my money back. They did not charge me any upfront fees and did all of the work for me. They were great. If you have been scammed by The Tax Club and need help, I recommend them to get your money back. Their phone number is 888.563.5558 http://www.crconsumerresources.com I cannot mention the name of the company that first scammed me because of the contract I signed when I got my money back from them too thanks to the help of CR Consumer Resources. All together, I was able to recover close to $30,000 with the help. I do not understand how the Government has not shut The Tax Club and these companies running out of Utah scammers that give The Tax Club our information to scam us more. Work at home business opportunity my ***! I am so happy to put this nightmare behind me.

Horrible Person
I've worked along side and for Tedd Johnson. To put it simply, Tedd Johnson is one of THE biggest *** in all of America. There's very few people who I can honestly say have a special place in *** for them, Tedd is one of them. His personality alone is one that looks down upon others, thinks because his name is behind a company it will succeed, and could care less about you. Just by looking at him you can tell he lives in a sad pathetic world. One piece of advice, Don't EVER do business with Tedd Johnson.

All they did was fraud
The tax club called me to setup an online business and told me that I need to pay some amount to be a member which is around $2500. I never gave them the consent to make a transaction from my account but they still did and emptied my account since they had my debit card number. I called them back to return my money because how could I invest any money when I was not making any, they returned the money back two weeks later but it was not the full amount. I asked them why they said because of the currency rate between canadian and us dollars u see a lost in balance. Well if they can deduct money then they can also return the same amount and it is their job to keep track of currency exchange in a way to return the total amount they deducted. I was upset and they lost their reputation.

The Tax Club in NY
I have had two of my credit card balances go over the credit limits due to their charges and manner in which they asked for authorization. I just got another bill for a recurring monthly fee of $34.95 that I did not even know about. What is the start-up fee suppose to be for? I have emailed them on a survey that Why am I prepaying for services? Only go get messages on my phone, but when I call back no one knows what I'm talking about. I want to cancel this club. Does anyone know the best way to go about it?

Took my money and received no results
I, as well was suckered a home-based business EBN and by The Tax Club. I was told I could cancel within 3 days. I thought about it the same night, called the next day to cancel, then was told someone would contact me within 24 to 48 hrs. Someone did call, then I was pressured to do it again. I said No and called back to re cancel. No one ever answers the phone or have answered my emails. I had to dispute it with my credit card company. They answered them though and said they would only give back $1,000.00 dollars. They did nothing for me so they should have giving me back all. And I tried to get it back, but that company will not return your call or emails. Yes, I do feel ***. Do anyone know where I can get any other help from? They are a ripped off company.

The Tax Club
I got sucked in big time by the Tax Club after sighing up to start my own website I was contacted by The Tax Club very hard sell , refused at first but was rung by more than one person. I new it was to good to be true but was not well at the time and I think they knew that . I was told I could claim it all back on a tax return but when I rung I was told that I had to be trading before I could do a Tax return.I live in New Zealand so it is hard to contact people and they don't call back to many people to deal with confusing. The last time I heard from someone was February they were trying to sell me something and I said no and I haven't heard from anyone since I have emailed three guys no reply I have lost $20000. 00 I cannot tell my family that I have been so stupied. I never sent back any forms with my signature on it for agreements but I gave them my credit card number DUMB.

Tax club
I am also a consumer who fell for the tax club blah! blah! blah! It sounded so good. They sent me a notebook with my company logo ect on it. They helped me get a tax id (which I found out I could do myself online) Should this cost $3600 and a reaccuring monthly fee of 49$. I did not know that I could get the same help from a local accountant. In their original spill they say a regular local accountant cannot help you like they can. Their right the tax club is better at taking more of your money for really nothing. I had even called only one time to try and get help with a tax question and did not get a return phone call or an email. Don't fall for what their telling you. You won't get any of your money back!

Took money and engaged in delinquent accounting
The Tax Club sold me two programs - one through The Tax Club and the other through All Access Books. Before my business was even turning over, they insisted that I absolutely needed their bookkeeping. It was allegedly essential and warned of how you must be careful of audits. After earthquakes, I moved countries advising The Tax Club of my address. I forwarded all the financial data they had asked for - putting hours into the compilation of data. They did not update a thing. All correspondence was sent to an old address and I received none of it. A few months later, my LLC was shut down for "delinquent accounting". Yes, "delinquent accounting". I tried contacting them and only got bounced emails. I have repeatedly asked for a refund and have only received excuses, evasiveness or an offer by them to set up a new business. Naturally, I don't want any involvement with a company that does not comply with accounting regulations. My right is for a refund of the thousands of dollars I have paid to these companies and I request same.

The Tax Club DECEIVES
I would not recommend this company to anyone. Their methods are very cookie cutter. You get bounced around from rep. to rep. with no idea of what is going on. You end up so confused with the services you are receiving and what you are actually doing. They are always trying to sell you other services without focusing on the services you've paid for. I kept having reps offer to sign me up for other services at additional costs before they ever finished taking care of my initial tax package! They only give you 3 days to get a refund which is not enough time to decide whether or not they can deliver the services you are looking for. They filed my paperwork incorrectly and when I requested a refund, they declined saying that I was responsible for the issue even though I had been forthcoming about my business situation that related to the issue. I speculate that their business strategy is to get lots of one-time customers. This is the only reason I can think they overcharge so much for their services. You may or may not get any of your phone calls returned when you have questions. They have free webinars every now and then, but they again are cookie cutter and the reps who host them are hit and miss. You can get the same services tailored to your needs for much less elsewhere. I recommend you do your homework on tax filing costs before you decide to give this company any of your money because once you do, you won't get it back. Good Luck and I hope you do not make such a costly mistake as I have.

The Tax Club and NYC Atty Gen. Office
This "company" is so overrun with *** and fraud, deceptive sales practices and fear tactics that they are under investigation by the NYC AG's office. They, PMI, Anthony Morrison, et al should be avoided at all costs. They prey on people's desire to work and provide for their families at a time when jobs are scarce and then they charge exhorbitant fees for services you either don't need, or they don't provide if you do need them. The only ones making money here are the ones now being investigated. Beware, Avoid, it's a multi-level SCAM and contact the NY Departmental Disciplinary Committee at 61 Broadway, 2nd floor New York, NY 10006

The Tax Club - Fraudulent Group
The Tax Club phoned me in New Zealand and spent about an hour on the phone with me, after telling the two men that I was talking to that I couldn't afford it they said that I was not using money but my credit card. I joined after being brow beaten by the two men. The next day I cancelled my subscription with the tax club and was told that I would be called within 24 to 48 hours regarding the refund. Yesterday, another man phoned and tried to persuade me to stay on, I said "NO" that I was absolutely not interested and again explained my reason, he said "I can help you with the financial side of it." What a load of rubbish. I'm still waiting to hear from them after sending yet another email regarding my refund. Have had to cancel my credit card because of them & have lodged a fraudulent claim with both the cards that I used. This is a scam & I was sucked into it. What as a group of people that obviously have the same complaint as I do about it? As a group can we collectively sue them? I would be interested in hearing what others think about this.

Tax club is a fraud
i visited the tax club. empire state bldg 60th floor...the hallways were packed with untrained people that barely spoke english and they were all on top of one another in hallways and every nook and cranny. they make you believe that if you dont buy their services you will get audited. they are the biggest rip off artist in the business, my advice is to "stay away" dont give them your hard earned money only to lose it shortly afterward for no services. stay away, buyer beware. they will rip you off and take your money for no services.

Ripped me off for $14,000+
My late wife was trying to start a web business and about two months into the process, my wife died suddenly, I tried to obtain a refund from The Tax Club as very little had actually been done. My wife was "taken by" this company only about 2 months before she passed away. I applied but because of Longo Ricks and others and their clerical errors, the finally denied the refund because 30 days had passed. I tried to contact the company So here I am, out over $14,000 in credit card debt for nothing. And they have $14,000 for doing nothing.

Accelerated Coaching and The Tax Club Scam
Updated by user May 22, 2011
Accelerated Mentoring\'s coaching program is a scam as well
Original review May 21, 2011
I signed up with Accelerated Coaching in early 2011. I was almost immediately contacted by the Tax Club. I spoke to a "business analyst" who said his name was Raj Saw. He forced me to buy services that I did not want or need. This hustler employed every fraudulent and unscrupulous method to get my credit card information and charge my cards. Raj then told me he would set up my business for $5190.00!!! He said he would give me a guarantee that I would have millions of people making purchases on my site. When I asked Raj how this would work he kept telling me I do not need to worry about that. When all was said and done I was $5190.00 in debt with no business and no sales. Not to mention Raj gave my file to his cronies to call me and charge me for other services. I was promised that I would be able to deduct the money I spent in the business. Not True!!! I tried to cancel the program and was immediately called by Raj. He told me if I cancel I would get ZERO back. They know how to trick desperate folks into charging everything. They must be brought to justice.

The tax Club - and My Online Development Scam!
Here is my horrible experience with The Tax Club. Also be aware that they have other affiliate companies like My Online Development which is how I was introduced to them before being formally introduced as The Tax Club. Also be aware of Profit Systems Online with Paul Johnson. I was fortunate enough to cancel my Tax Club membership within 15 days to get 85% (out of about $4500) refund and I got out of their so called Business Credit building program within 3 days so I got 100% refund (out of about $5000). But I got stuck with the $10,068 I paid to My Online Development, which offer 4 different services from 4 different companies in various states around the USA. It started when I found a link in MSN.com about work from home jobs, as I was looking for a way to make a little extra money in this economy. This was back in July 2010. I followed the link to a "testimony" about a single mother making more than $6000 a month from home. The article sounded convincing so I follow another link that took me to Profit Systems Online, which is the culprit that started the whole mess. Profit System's website is loaded with testimonies and hurrah about the program that supposedly helps many people earn a lot of income from home (which is probably true, but I'm sure through better programs than this) and so on. So I thought I would pay the $49.95 to start up the program, but I should have trealized something was fishy after they lead you to another website encouraging you to pay an extra $150 to join they special program. Then I did what I should have done first before getting into this scam, I researched Profit Systems Online and found some blogs with complaints about this program. The next day I called them to try to cancel and get a refund, but they manages to convince me it was a legit program by showing me a few websites built and making thousand and dollars a months, and that they can teach me how. I feel real dumb for believing their half truths and lies, but I learnt a big lesson. But anyway, then they said I qualified for there elite program to get one on one training and access to their e-library of lessons and videos and stuff. How they determined that I qualify for this program? By asking me how much credit I have in my credit cards. Once they knew this, they proceed to take almost all of it within the space of one month, leaving me about $30,000 in debt. Why did I do it, you may ask? Because they gave me the impression that the more I spend with them, the faster I would start generating income from my e-commerce website(s). So I took their word for it, thinking they had my best interest like most decent companies, but these people are not decent companies. Back to my story, by early August 2010 not long after I started the one on one coaching which cost about $7500, I receive a call from some one from California representing My Online Development (Joseph Mastralangelo, I'm mentioning his name, because after he got me in this mess, I tried to call him 3 times for advice and he never returned my calls). So Joe smart talks me into signing up for a package of about $10,068 that includes building an ecommerce website, a business logo, a 30 second promotional video and a marketing package. The plan was that while I'm doing the training with my coaches at Premier Coaching, they will be doing the hard work for me and by the time I competed my training my website would be up and ready. The problem is I did not finalize my niche product until the beginning of September and by then I was struggling the pay my credit card bills which rose very high before of all the charge made on them. And by them I already started building my on website so I thought I can cancel my My Online Development website and video account, but I didn't realize the deadline for cancellation was gone about 2 week because. I never heard of any company having such a short space of time get a refund, and also never heard of not getting are fund even if you never use the service. Then I realized I was screwed and started getting stressed out and worried, including a couple emotional break downs, and shame for getting myself into this scam without research and going with my initial hunch that something was wrong. Enter The Tax Club, so called tax professionals from NY. This guy, Anthony, calls me and said he was referred to me by my coaching team and said they would offer me tax preparation service, and convinced me that I needed the make my business an S-Corporation to protect my personal assets, which I later found out was crap and I did not need that now. This packages cost $4500 and he claimed I can get a big refund when I filed my taxes. Then they set up phone appointments for me to expect one call per week for the next 4 weeks and said I will be offered other services that are optional. Next thing I know, by the next week I'm being talked into paying $5400 for building business credit and applying for a $25,000 loan to consolidate my business expenses. What really tick me off is that even though I told the freak I did not have any more credit left to charge for the service, he still when ahead and charge my credit over my balance, maxing it out. That was it for me. A day later I canceled my Tax Club membership by email and phone call asking them for a refund. It took then almost 2 weeks to give me full refund for business credit and 85% for starting up and S-corp application. I also received their S-corp paperwork in the mail but did not sign any of the papers. Then I took a day off from work to speak to real tax professionals at H&R Block and another independent and reputable accounting company in my area, asking them if what the people and The Tax Club were telling me is true about being incorporated and the huge cost. They both said no, and one accountant said he even does a lot of services for free and only charge to file taxes. Unfortunately I'm stuck with the bill from My Online Development and some of the things they did for me I can't even use for various reasons. Now I'm stuck with a website that was built for me and I'm just fed up with spending hours on trying to market my first site with only one sale so far. Plus I'm making monthly payments for a merchant account, dropshipper, and web builder and no sales. Then recently I found out that most of the marketing techniques I learnt from the coaching are outdated and not very effective for getting found in internet search engines. Like I mentioned before and to be more specific: Profit Systems Online (and there other variant names), My Online Development (same billing address as The Tax Club) and The Tax Club, located in the Empire State Building in NYC, are not decent businesses. They just make people spend large amounts of money unnecessarily to full their pockets and pay the rent in the Empire State building, among other location they affiliated with around the USA. I hope this experience I wrote helps someone out there. You don't have to spend a bunch of money upfront to start an online store, I just set up 2 online stores at CafePress.com for free. The most amount of time and money should go to marketing like intelligent Press releases, blogging and social media. You can build an e-commerce online store for free or as little as $5 to $15 a month with Citymax.com or Intuit.com. And if you are in huge amounts of debt and can't pay your credit card bills because of The Tax Club and other scams, try a Debt Management program like the one I'm with called MMI: https://www.moneymanagement.org or call them at 1-86*-490-****. Or ask your credit card customer service to hook you up with a debt payment program and they will communicate with your credit cards to come up with a manageable payment plan with very low interest rate (1% to 1.99% for me). I hope this helps.
