어떤 발표인가
The operators of a tax debt relief scheme will surrender over $8 million in cash and turn over additional assets to settle the Federal Trade Commission and State of Nevada’s charges that the defendants pocketed millions from consumers by impersonating federal and state government tax authorities and promising tax debt relief.
핵심 내용
- Under the proposed order, Terrance Selb and Tyler Bennett, operators of American Tax Service (ATS), will also be banned from debt relief services, tax preparation services, telemarketing and impersonation of individuals, governments or businesses.
- In October 2025, a federal court temporarily halted the alleged tax debt relief scheme operated by Selb and Bennett , as well as seven affiliated entities.
- The FTC alleged they impersonated government agencies, including the Internal Revenue Service, deceptively promised tax debt relief, sent threats to consumers about their debts and pocketed tens of millions of consumers’ dollars.
- ATS and its operators claimed they could settle taxpayers’ back taxes for “pennies on the dollar” or for only a “fraction” of what taxpayers’ owed, often making these claims before evaluating the taxpayer’s circumstances, according to the FTC.
