Description

A Vendor appearing to be a business Scam. There were services which I paid for by credit card, that I did not receive. Attachment Document: Generated Email from Vendor in question of misrepresentation of charged services When I was preparing to file my FBAR forms as I do each year, I inquired on the internet and inadvertently reached this website in question which I’m reporting as a suspicious scam, and was not the agency I intended to reach and appeared to be misrepresenting the correct agency. It was a branch of the IRS that I intended to reach, and instead incorrectly reached this website in question that raised suspicion. I've already contacted my bank to recover my funds in dispute and to report to my bank as a suspicious scam. I received an email from a vendor (appears to be an Illegal Scam) falsely claiming to be an agency who files forms to the FBAR agency, and on behalf of the FBAR agency (Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts Reports (FBAR) ( the FBAR is a legitmate agency and a branch of the IRS). However, there was content in the message of the email from the vendor that appears to me to be a vendor other than the true agency filing for the FBAR agency of the IRS-- misrepresenting them. The vendor claimed to filed the necessary forms for my financial reporting of foreign banks to the FBAR agency. The vendor sent me an email shortly after filling out forms and filed online. The message in the email from the vendor appears suspicious because of the strong content and tone of the message in the Vendor’s email. I was charged on my bank card for by the business claiming to be filing the FBAR forms form on my behalf to the FBAR. The vendor's use of language and tone in the email appeared offensive which gave me suspicion to report this. Some of the wording content from the Vendor was aggressive, and intimidating with statements of penalties, turning over my account to collections, reporting me to the credit bureau, taking legal action against me in the word content of the email. Another concern was the premature need of strong and offensive tone of language in the message since it had only been within 24 hours of submitting the request and payment, as the message was primarily seemed aimed at customers in delinquency of payment when it was only 24 hours of receiving the email after submitting the forms and when my credit card was charged within so short of time frame. The tone and unusual behavior of this perceived scam in the content of this email, was very different compared to my previous years filings and emails confirmations with the true FBAR agency I've filed each year with, which is a separate department branch of the IRS, the correct and true agency’s email content has always been consistent and more standard and professional in their emails. Regarding this Vendor in question, the email containing the harsh and unusual language, it seemed premature to include so offensive and aggressive language from the Vendor in question: “ taking legal action against clients, reporting the client to the credit bureau, penalties, as it was only within 24 hours of submitting the intake form for the services. The vendor stated this disclosure in their email assuming if I were to dispute the services for a refund. When I was preparing to file my FBAR forms as I do each year, I inquired on the internet and inadvertently reached this website in question which i'm reporting as a suspicious scam. I've already contacted my bank to recover my funds in dispute and to report to my bank also as a suspicious scam. Note: I was unable to find an Official Title of the vendor nor did I speak by phone or email other than the email generated which is: [email protected] with any representative of the vendor. The Website does show details of the services, but there is no physical address (only city and State-- Macon, MO. The website address https://fbar.us/ was only available for contact info.
