Remember Roni Deutch, the "Tax Lady"? How about Patrick Cox, the Taxmasters guy? And how can we forget the ever-present J.K. Harris? Have you wondered what happened to these persistent telemarketers? Each of them, along with countless other unscrupulous operators of national tax resolution/representation "scam" firms, has recently been shut down by regulators, forced to file bankruptcy, or otherwise forced to close its doors.

If you spend any time watching cable television these days, you have probably seen their commercials. They usually start with the words, "if you owe $10,000 or more in back taxes". Looks like they have scammed one too many customers as they have all succumbed to costly fines and judgments resulting from an onslaught of consumer class action lawsuits and investigations by various state attorneys general and other law enforcement agencies.

Specific Penalties & Violations Committed

Taxmasters, in particular, was hit with a $195 million judgment by a Texas jury earlier this year for misleading and defrauding its customers. They all used the same business model – entice the consumer to make a lump- sum payment of $4,500 or $5,000 through unethical sales tactics.

These tactics included:

• (i) Aggressively advertising its services through national television advertisements
• (ii) Making a highly emotional sales pitch
• (iii) Making repeated and excessive follow-up telephone calls
• (iv) Promising unrealistic and unattainable outcomes/resolutions
