mcb39 Posted July 24, 2022 Report Posted July 24, 2022 Has anyone else heard of or been contacted by MyTaxPrepOffice with an offer that sounds too good to be true. Unfortunately, I am afraid that I got scammed and am in litigation with them through my Credit Card. Too Smooth; Too Fast and talked me out of a deposit before I could think it over. I cancelled within the hour, but that is why I am in litigation. I am old enough to know better and have nobody to blame but myself. I am normally extremely careful about anybody trying to sell things, but slipped up this time. Please advise. Quote
Lee B Posted July 25, 2022 Report Posted July 25, 2022 I previewed their their software the second year they were in business before I switched from ATX to Drake and you're right they promise more than they can deliver. I am kinda surprised they are still in business, although this year's user reviews are favorable? 1 Quote
mcbreck Posted July 25, 2022 Report Posted July 25, 2022 Why do you think it's a scam? They've been in business for a while. Quote
Lee B Posted July 25, 2022 Report Posted July 25, 2022 I don't think it's a scam. However their sales and marketing personnel are very aggressive. 1 Quote
mcb39 Posted July 26, 2022 Author Report Posted July 26, 2022 First of all, let me assure you that this was NOT a scam. Cbslee is correct that their marketing personnel are very agressive. I spent over an hour yesterday on the phone with their Sales Manager and this is, in fact, a legitimate company. I believe the issue has been resolved. His main concern was removing a black mark from their record; which was really the result of the Sales Rep being over-zealous. I was having a bad day and got talked into something that I did not want. We got what we asked for, which was a chance to test the program without the exchange of money. This is primarily for my assistant rather than myself. She will be the one moving forward when I no longer am able to. For myself, I have no desire to place my clients on a Cloud. If it is the wave of the future, so be it. I am happy with things just the way they are now and I probably don't have that many years to worry about it; but it will be nice to leave her with some options that she can afford. Thank you for your input. I have a load off of my shoulders. There are plenty more loads that still need to be removed. 4 Quote
