Tax People Raided by Federal Agents |
|||||||||||||
| Renaissance, "The Tax People," has been under investigation by the states of Kansas and Missouri. Now the federal government has stepped in. Riot-gear clad Federal agents from the IRS and the US Postal Inspection Service, accompanied by the Jackie Williams, the US Attorney, Kansas Division, served subpoenas on the headquarters offices of The Tax People in Topeka, Kansas early in the morning on October 12, 2000. They spend the entire day removing files from the two offices, located at 1001 S.W. Gage and 1825 S.W. Fairlawn. Williams acknowledged that the US Attorney is cooperating with the Kansas Attorney General in the investigation, but declined further comment. The Tax People sells "tax advice" to consumers, and charges both a signup fee and monthly fees for the "advice." It also encourages members to recruit others into the scheme, in a multi-level marketing setup. The company claims 50,000 recruits, many of whom have complained about improper ongoing charges to their credit cards, lack of customer service, and the company's inability or unwillingness to resolve issues. copyright October, 2000. |
