Sometime in May, I received a communication from the IRS that a 1099 was received by them which purportedly was due to a payment made to me. The 1099 was for a sum of $10,000. However, I do not recall having received a copy of this purported 1099. Which if I did, I would have known that I owe the IRS for the said 1099.
I contacted Effectur since they advertise that they can help fix any problem an individual may encounter with the IRS. I paid the sum of $1800 for their service of representing my interest in dealing with the IRS. The contract was supposed to be for 1 year, or while I have not been cleared by the IRS. Effectur supposedly assigned a tax specialist by the name of Michelle Phillips. She and I spoke and she assured me that I am in good hands and that she will do her very best to help me resolve my problem with the IRS. She was supposed to have arranged for a compromise payment with the IRS, and yet I still get letters from the IRS saying that I must settle my payment. To top it all, when i tried calling Michelle, she does not answer her phone and only has a voice mail set up. I tried calling their supposed main phone but that too only has a voice mail. I have made calls to Effectur perhaps in excess of 300, but to do avail.
Bottom line, I am totally convinced that this company scammed me.
