Scam Description
This company shows up as the #1 search result for applying for a Federal tax number or EIN. Filing for an EIN is a FREE SERVICE FROM THE IRS. This company poses as the IRS by making their site look as similar to the IRS website as possible and then they charge $250 to file your FREE EIN application. They make no effort to inform taxpayers that this is a FREE service provided by the IRS. There is only small print at the bottom of the page that states they are not affiliated with the IRS. This is fraud and the fact that they appear as the #1 search result on search engines means people are being directly lead to them rather than to the IRS website and therefore are being deliberately defrauded of money.
