Yeah, but the guy on the corner with the "WILL WORK FOR FOOD" sign doesn't call and wake me up..

Firstly, PFG does not steal people's money. try checking REPUTABLE WEBSITES like their BBB page : http://www.bbb.org/denver/business-reviews/ta ... eld-co-12055101

http://www.pfgtax.com/

Secondly, the over dramatic idea that telemarketers are soulless people who should kill themselves is ridiculous. Telemarketers are people trying to work and make a living and support themselves and their families just like everyone else, and all day long they get people being unnecessarily rude to them for simply calling and trying to do their job. At least they work a full time job and aren't begging on the corner.

They aren't a scam. Here's the website:

http://www.pfgtax.com/

and here is the BBB site

http://www.bbb.org/denver/business-reviews/ta ... eld-co-12055101

which is the only review site you should be reading, as the reviews come from real customers. The different phone numbers are the direct lines to the people who work at the company running phones. They don't cold call, they only call businesses with filed liens, which are public information.

A person named Tyler Thomas calls from this number daily with an "urgent financial matter." He will not leave a message or any information and just says he will call back. He has been asked three times to stop calling.  Once by myself and once by two additional employees.  He does not stop calling.  How do people like that sleep at night?  How do they look themselves in mirror and think, "I am a good person."  You steal people's money.  Probably unsuspecting elderly people's money.  If I did that for a living, I think I would kill myself.  

the call was suspicious so i redialed the number and same person who called me said they got my info from public records about a tax lien filed from the feds i asked them if they were from the phoenix group and he sounded kinda puzzled how i new that and i told him google. so that pretty much ended the conversation. guess the scam didnt work this time

This is text copied from two complaints, and typical of all of the complaints:

Complaint: "money sent for work not done, will not refund
they were doing tax litagation work for us, after over a year of sending a large amount of money to this company, they kept asking for more. after checking with several other equivalent companys, we found we were being taken for a ride.the longest it should have taken was about six months."

"Complaint: Phoenix Financial Group did not render the services agreed upon and now refuses to refund the money that was paid to them.
On June 23, 2012 I entered into an agreement with Phoenix Financial Group to assist me in setteling my tax dispute with the IRS. On that date Phoenix Financial withdrew $1400 from my checking account to open my case. On June 25, 2012 my case was officially opened with Phoenix. On July 13, 2012 I called Phoenix to check the status of my case. I spoke with Mr. ****** ******. At that time it was brought to my attention that nobody from Phoenix had even contacted the IRS regarding my case nor had a power of attorney been filed on behalf of myself and Mr. ****** representing me. That mishandeling alone is a breach of my contract. I immediatley fired Phoenix Finanical and demanded a refund of my money. Mr. ****** informed me that a refund would be issued if I told him the name of the new company who was now helping me with my case. I refused to tell this information to Mr. ******. At that time Mr. ****** told me my money was non refundable. On July 14, 2012 Phoenix Financial withdrew $700 from my account using a counter check so that the stop payment could not be used. After reading my contract nowhere in the document does it state money is non refundable."

Our compnay received a call from this number and the caller said it was "in regards to our 941 filings".
