If you have ever spent an extended period of time watching Fox News or CNN, you have probably seen an advertisement for TaxMasters, a company which promises to help people reduce the amount of money they owe the IRS.

On last night’s “World News” and “Nightline,” ABC News investigated the company, claiming to show that it is not everything it is cracked up to be. Specifically, some lawsuits claim that TaxMasters takes a fee upfront, then never delivers on the IRS help it promises.

ABC News received statements from Fox News and CNN, networks which regularly air the TaxMasters spots, about the company’s practices:

In a statement, CNN said the network was “aware of pending legal activity” and had been told by TaxMasters that it was working to address the claims with the state authorities. “We continue to monitor any activity for developments or resolution, and will further evaluate our relationship as it becomes necessary.”

I've seen them 1000 times but tune them out.

 

Part of their pitch sounds like "We'll get you off without paying all that you owe."

If it sounds to good to be true.....it probably is.

I tend to tune out the commercials with G. Gordon Liddy hawking gold or other dreams come true ads on FNC(I blocked out CNN and PMSNBC on my own TV). Binder and Binder is another one that truly annoys me, because they wanted me to do all the work on my medical conditions, then wanted to collect 30% of the earnings. They can go to hell.

One of the wonderful thing about not having a (working) TV is you miss out on this kind of thing.

 

And as a plus you get to stumble across things like this....
