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

On 1/7/24 I applied for an *** for my mother, who passed on 1/2/24 and I paid $299 for this service. they stated they work directly with IRS on my behalf but IRS takes up to 45 days and they would be in touch. I contacted them via email on 2/15/24 to see where my transaction stood and when I would receive it but they never responded.I again reached out via email to them because I found out this was actually a free service from IRS and I was able **** onto IRS, fill out application and receive the *** immediately. I notified my bank that I wanted to dispute this charge due to not receiving the goods I was promised in the time I was promised as well as not being responded to when Ive reached out to this company.my file number for the *** order is 3e4f913d. Thank you.Customer Answer

Last evening, March 13, 2024, they finally issued me a refund to my checking account for the requested amount of $299 which is the amount they fraudulently took out of my account.
Thank you,

I started filling out the form to obtain an EIN for my LLC and after entering my SSN I stopped to check that it was a .gov website. As soon as I realized it was not .gov I contacted the sites support and demanded they remove my information. This is a scam. By law, they are obligated to clearly state they are soliciting up front. They did not and now I am concerned that the company has my name and SSN. They have an F BBB rating and are clearly fraudulent. I want formal confirmation sent to my email that my information has been completely removed and has not and will not be used for any purpose whatsoever.Initial Complaint

searched for EIN online application online which I've done multiple times. First link looked like it was official but I've never done it on my phone. The link looked completely legit and asked all the same questions. Then there was a large charge which I didn't remember ever paying but unfortunately I was in a hurry and didn't think about it. I paid the money and then got a message about error 101 and was asked to upload my formation documentation. This also looked legit so I did it. It wasn't until I was finished with a project I was working on 30 minutes or so later, I realized these messages were not from the **** I'm on hold with the *** now. I feel quite stupid and I gave all my personal information to these crooks.Customer Answer

In the process of starting a new LLC and creating an EIN for it I performed a ****** search on "How to create and EIN" and the site "www.irs-ein-tax-id.com" was one of the first that came up on the search. This was a ****** sponsor site, which should have been a red flag, and I will no longer trust. The www.irs-ein-tax-id.com looked like a legit IRS site where I entered my information to receive an EIN only to get to the end of the process to find a charge of $399.99. This is a free service provided by the **** The transaction was canceled, and I requested that www.irs-ein-tax-id.com remove all of my information but have not yet received confirmation that this has been done.This site is a SCAM and the very least and if not actual fraud.Initial Complaint

On 1/27 I went to get an EIN number for a business I was starting up. I clicked on the first site and it looked legit. I filled out the information completed the transaction. When it didn't give me an automatic EIN number I knew something was up. Went to check my email, nothing. Checked my junk email and there is was, that is when I knew it was a scam. The email stated they have charged my card for $319 when the Gov doesn't charge for EINs. This is a scam!Initial Complaint

This company's pop-up came up while I was on the *** website searching for applying for an EIN. It looked totally legit and I paid the money and have not heard a word since. I have reached out numerous times and they have not responded and their customer service phone mailbox is full. A total scam that I can not believe I fell for, but it look so legit. A few days after I filled everything out with them, I got this which solidified my thoughts that this was a legit company.
