Dear Ann,
Your account executive is Jerry Suntharo. He will be your personal Account Executive throughout your relationship with The Tax Club. As your main point of contact, you should feel comfortable reaching out to him when any questions arise. Please contact him at 866-840-1829 ext. 4337. His office hours are Monday through Friday 10am to 7pm EST.

I was told that they would make me a website but the word website does not appear in all their documents. This is what I was told: (The writing in light red is from Evie’s emails to me.)

So that I’ll have plenty of customers; I’ll be set up with Patriot Shopping & my business will be in the USA as there are a lot more people in the USA than in Australia.

It will be an LLC Business – which is a LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY. This makes it Legal and gives me High Density Protection and gives the business legitimacy so the customers will trust me if it is an LLC Business; even if they don’t know me. It also means that all my property will be protected.

This can be used to advertise for other companies and means I can sell to affiliates and also use drop-shippers. YOUR PROGRAM WILL HELP YOU GET SET UP WITH AFFILITATES OR DROP SHIPPERS NOT US.

Evie said that I will be able to connect any business I might have to this company so that people cannot sue me which will stop me becoming bankrupt because of getting sued. I will be given an EIN Number which is an Employer ID/Social Security number.

I was told that I will have a Resident Agent who will be a Legal point of contact for the US Government. This means that I will have a legitimate address in the USA and will give me 330 tax reductions which will mean I can make more money due to these tax reductions.

Before I can start the business I’ll have to find $500 as a down payment, so I’ll go to the bank next week and see if I can find enough. If not, Evie said I can wait a few weeks if necessary.

I.R.S. is to do with the US Government.

I’ll have to open a bank account in my business name and then apply for a business line of credit. AFTER YOU RECEIVE THE (Articles of origination).

I’ll also have to set up an email address for annmareeventuresllc preferably as a gmail account. BUT told to WAIT UNTIL WE SECURE THE BUSINESS NAME

I sent this to Evie and she sent it back with a few corrections in red.
Evie rang back on Wednesday morning and gave me more ideas for my website so I changed it to worldwide

As I had transferred money from CTB so I could make 1st payment, she put me onto Natalia so it could all be set up but I ended up pulling out as I was supposed to be going to Bible Study and with the 3 phone calls (1st one Adrienne) I’d been on phone 50 minutes and couldn’t wait any longer.

I ended up deciding on www.Annmaree WorldWide Ventures LLC
My website will have 5 pages – A Home Page and 4 Product Pages.
It will also have Search Engine Optimization; A Shopping Cart and a Contact form.

Natalia’s email is: [email protected]

Customer Service Phone No. 00111 212 915 0975

PHONE CALLS:
If I have any problems I should ring John KARPINSKI 866 840 1829 Ext. 5350.
John hardly ever looks at email and says if I ring after midnight it suits him well and is often easier for me than trying to do it in the mornings when I don’t have computer on.
If necessary, he will pass it on to the correct person.
Monday 2nd May, 2011 I received my papers from Wyoming. Website name is: Annmaree Worldwide Ventures, LLC

I was told that all you have to do is paste this code on your website or blog:

You will then start to get 100% Free, Fast, Targeted Traffic ...THAT GOES VIRAL... OVERNIGHT. More Traffic = More Money

The best thing about this particular code is there is nothing to download, and nothing technical related for you to do on your part. You literally just Copy & Paste to any and all of your websites or blogs.

You have been unsubscribed from whitehatco2free. Whitehatcopycat This is a program by Tim BEKKER. I sent a message to him a few weeks ago telling him what happened and he never answered it so I sent another one yesterday. Tim recommended this program and I feel he should take some responsibility for what has happened.

I definitely agreed to the charges from Prestige Finances as I was told by The Tax Club to do this. I have no idea what it was for and so I don’t know if I received it or not. All I know is that I was paying The Tax Club to make me a website which would start making money in about a week (as listed elsewhere) and although I have received a parcel of certificates they are no use without the website. The link that they sent me did not work and I have never received a website that works and without that, nothing else is of any use at all!

I received a parcel from Wyoming. It was addressed to ANNMAREE WORLDWIDE VENTURES, LLC which is my non- existent web site. It is a folder with 6 dividing pages, each one with a heading on it the 1st one being ARTICLES OPERATING AGREEMENT.

The folder contains 20 Certificates with ANNMAREE WORLDWIDE VENTURES, LLC across the middle and underneath this is AUTHORIZED TO ISSUE 100% MEMBERSHIP INTERES Then underneath that

This Certifies that ..........................................................is the owner of ...........................percent of the above Limited Liability Company

etc. (I tried to scan it, but the scanner just wouldn't copy it, though I'll keep on trying later.)

There are 20 of these certificates numbered from 1 to 20 and there is a seal on the bottom and there is a thing enclosed which I haven't been able to get working yet, which I think will make copies of the seal of the Limited Liability Company. In the check list with it all, the seal thing is referred to as an Embosser.

Joined October 21st, 2010. Sent Documents for Website April 5th, 2011.

I received a bill from GSC for $291.00 USD which was for joining and advertising my website – Annmaree Worldwide Ventures, LLC which I found out last week didn’t exist! This is a copy of the email I sent them on 27th May, 2011.

Hi Jerry,
I have received a bill for $291 from CSC or Corporation Service Company, to do with my new website which as far as I can see does not exist! It says it is an Annual Registered Agent Fee for period from 05/01/11 to 04/30/12.
At the bottom it has "Thank you for using CSC - Susan Enstrom - 800-927-9800 which I guess is a phone number.

I don't understand what it's all about, and as I've not been able to even look at the website, I've got no intention of paying it until I know more about it. If I had an email address I'd contact them, but I'm not going to try and ring them from here.

I'm extremely disappointed as your people promised me the world but have deserted me since they got my money which is not a very nice thing to do to a pensioner. The only reason I agreed was because they were building me a website and promised me I'd have money from it within a few weeks but now you are the only one that will even answer an email. I feel what your company has done is wrong but as I believe that I'm not the first person this has been done to, and you have your own solicitors; I realise I'd be wasting money I don't have to try and fight it, but I'll certainly tell anyone I can not to deal with your company because they'll lose their money if they do. Apparently there is a court case coming up over there soon if it hasn't started already!

Under these circumstances, the least you can do is to contact this crowd for me and cancel the bill as I refuse to pay for something that I will never receive! Even if you found out an email address for them and let me know, at least I'd have a better opinion of you than any of the others who all seemed such nice people to start with, which is extremely disappointing.
Regards,
Ann Stevens,

Refunds will be issued in the same form of tender as used for original purchase transaction.
