MadDogMike posted:While even as a preparer I’m sympathetic to the complaint about doing simple taxes being expensive, holy poo poo dear gently caress does the idea of “let the IRS do the taxes for you” give me chills because ahahaha they screw up SO much just reviewing the taxes at the moment. You want a scam, all those letters opening with “you owe this much” as opposed to “we found this discrepancy” is kind of one honestly. My understanding is something like a third of those CP2000 letters are flat out wrong on appeal and my personal experience is probably closer to half of them. Personal favorite last year was the person who got a $92,000 bill when it turned out on review the IRS owed them $1000 or so more. Prepping a 1040 based on their records and sending corrections falls down as a general rule because their records kinda suck (and a lot of tax info doesn’t even get sent to them; if you own your own business forget the IRS knowing much) and when they inevitably screw up how many people are going to know they did? They’ll just get a letter saying they owe such and such and pay it, which they already do too often in my experience with the audit letters. You’d just be moving the private tax company stuff to doing a ton of “corrections” later on rather than preparing the taxes the first time. Other countries’ taxes are easier because they avoid a lot of the rules about what you can get adjustments/credits for; you’re going to have to burn down the US tax code and restart from scratch (with a highly different philosophy behind the design) to make it that easy to avoid missing something. Or just go whole hog and make tax prep a public service only; fund the IRS enough to hire all those preparers themselves and offer it for free. Can’t call it a bad idea really... As a serial killer, I find the idea of banning murder highly disturbing.

EL BROMANCE posted:The subject of probate just came up in the iPhone thread, reminds me of a charming bit of mail I received last week. Someday, this is going to happen to someone, and that person is going to buy a bunch of guns and shoot up the debt collection agency. God, I hope I'm on that jury. You are allowed to award damages to the defendant in a criminal case, right?

Comstar posted:It's a standard scam. They ask for details and either use it for fraud in his name, or ask for a small payment to cover legal fees...which never stop and get bigger and end up luring him to the country and ransom for more money. It's actually probably the standard fake check scam, where they send you a payment, have you take 6% of it and pass the rest off to someone else, and then the bank comes after you when the payment doesn't clear.

If your bank or credit union has bill pay, they will put the check in the mail for you. It's usually a free service.

EL BROMANCE posted:So my mother in law was saying someone contacted her through her business number, saying they had been withdrawing money from their bank account and they wanted it back. According to them, their bank gave them her company name and number. Which sounds absurd to me. And then a little later someone else called with the exact same story. A bunch of other red flags such as asking to be contacted back on different numbers to the one they called on, and to speak to a different person than was calling etc.

Xenoborg posted:Are the roofing companies that come around a whole neighborhood after storms a scam? One showed up today that I'm considering. They say they'll do a free inspection, and then talk to my insurance and if they agree its storm damage, off we go. I have an old roof that needed replacement in the next few years anyway, so it seems like worst case insurance says they wont pay for a new one and I'm in the same place I was. The roofers pitching today look like a decent and longstanding outfit, and even if insurance does agree to replace I wouldn't necessarily need to use them. Is this just how roofers get work, or is there some other facet to this like trying to upsell?

thrakkorzog posted:So how many people fall for your cars warranty is about to expire? I find this the most exhausting, just because I have to pick up my phone, hoping for work, and nope, it's a scammer. I haven't owned a car in over ten years now, and I still get these calls. They aren't doing any sort of validation at all, just shotgunning out calls.
