Complaint / Review
Tax Relief Associates - Richard L. Hargus
Ripoff, scam magnet, saw me coming, feeling used and stupid

This incident happened a little over a year ago and this is the first time I have been able to look at it again. I called these people and had gotten their name from a link on the AARP website. It turns out it was just a link and AARP didn't endorse them.

I talked with them because I was in a panic over a "bill" from the IRS. The reason for the big bill was due to another scam I had gotten myself mixed up with.

I came to these guys for help and even though I guess I should have known better, I paid them $1,200.00 from a credit card and my bank account. I was emailed a lot of forms including a Power of Attorney and a cover letter and another form which had an incorrect SS # on it.

I just crossed it out and signed everything like a fool. I had resigned myself to just not get into anything ever again and should just take my losses because of my stupidity. My IRS bill keeps climbing and I decided to come back to this and at least report them.

Richard L. Hargus, supposedly the attorney who was to handle this did indeed put a hold on my IRS account. Then I got another bill from the IRS and thought it was something different.

I called Earnie Aguila who was suppose to be helping me and I was hysterical. He called me back at about 5:00 P.M. On a Friday evening and said they would start handling the case the following Monday. I can remember saying "I don't deserve this" and could hardly speak I was crying so hard.

Anyway, sometime later I received a letter from the IRS telling me that Richard L. Hargus had contacted them and he was no longer handling my case. I never heard from Richard or Earnie. I called every number I could get ahold of, went to the internet which happened to be another site, emailed Earnie A. All was futile.

Way back then I came to this site and saw others were sending in rip off reports on this place. I just didn't want to deal with it and now my taxes are reaching an amount almost more than I make in a year. What a dope. Need to get on this. I am truly a ""Scam Magnet""
