Important information

  • Customer Complaint:

    The BBB has received numerous complaints from consumers that allege paying a large fee to this firm for EIN numbers and the company claiming to be with the IRS.  Online searches for this company website show that the website is based in Iceland and not in the United States.  BBB strongly encourages consumers to visit the irs.gov website directly for any assistance in obtaining a EIN number.  Consumers report their bank accounts being charged hundreds of dollars repeatedly for fees and providing SSN, passport information and other forms of ID that have then been compromised.  To date, we have not received any responses to the complaints on file.  

     

    BBB suggests consumers also report their experience to the FTC at www.ftc.gov

    The website seemed to be legit and I needed to get an EIN number for a deceased family members estate. I gave them my SSN and paid the $329.00 with my credit card and they said, they would email me my Tax ID number within hours. I got thinking about the money on my credit card and went back to the *** websites and found out the *** doesn't charge no money. That is when I found out about this IRS-EIN-Tax-ID-Number.com is a Fraudulent website for the *** thru the Better Business Bureau. My personal information that I gave them is my main concern and that of my deceased grandmother..

    This website looks almost identical to the true IRS website. I filed for an EIN, which is free on the real site. They now have my social security number and a payment for something that should have been free of charge. I called to cancel and was told it was already processed. I just feel they should not look so similar, and the fee they charged was astronomical for a simple form that needed to be filled out.

    On September 9, 2023, I googled apply for tax Id and the top result was IRS.taxid-**.com. I have never applied for a tax id prior, so I was unaware that this should have been a free application. I paid the website a total of $459 for two different services. 1) application for tax id 2) incorporation of my LLC with the *****************. The website asked for and received my credit card information and my social security number along with my phone number and billing address. I never received a confirmation email and my bank alerted me to the potential fraudulent charges.

    The company shows up as TOP SEARCH ENGINE Find for when you look to apply for a new EIN and they charged my card and I then googled them because I never got an email confirmation with the charge. I saw on ****** they are a scamming company. I confirmed with my bank they charged me $329.

    This company, www.federal-taxed-number.com, is predetory and a scam. It appears legitimate and professional to those seeking to apply for a tax identification number. Unfortunately, before I caught on, I submitted all of my personal information including my SSN. Thankfully, I did not pay their fee (approx. $300) as this is a free service provided by the *** but I did compromise my identity and personal information. I will now be purchasing identity theft protection to ensure this information is not sold or used for nefarious means.

    Business claimed to be part of the **** which it is not and charged a fee of $329 to obtain an EIN for business. After making payment, website states that it could not accept the payment, but did collect the money from account. Did not receive any services for fees charged.
