The Tax Club

In January, the Federal Trade Commission and the New York and Florida Attorneys General charged The Tax Club’s telemarketing operation with deceiving consumers who mistakenly believed its services would help their home-based business succeed.  The company called people on lists they bought from work-at-home or other business development services, falsely claimed affiliation with legitimate companies, and sold people products and services it claimed were essential to the success of their business, like tax return preparation and business planning. According to the FTC, The Tax Club charged high fees for these services, but often failed to deliver on them.

Always do your research before getting involved in a new business opportunity.


Our Ad Alerts are not just about false and deceptive marketing issues, but may also be about ads that, although not necessarily deceptive, should be viewed with caution.
