John Palm represented himself as a tax accountant. He told me he had been working as a tax accountant for years for a firm in Philadelphia that is no longer open. He stated he does taxes for people now himself as a tax accountant. He asked for $700 to do my back taxes and me and my wifes 2016 tax return.He told me he doesn't charge like everyone else does, he is not out to break any bank, just to get people taxes done for less.

I found his craigslist a** stating he does taxes for $90. I should have known then something was up. John Palm came over to my house to get my tax returns and to talk about filing the past returns for me and present. Seemed like a nice guy at first and that he knew what he was talking about. A few weeks went buy and John Palm told me he was making receipts for past taxes that I had spent so he could modify what I owed in past years. Thru the phone and text it seemed like he was getting alot of things done.

2 days before taxes where done I asked if he had filed everything yet. John Palm told me no. I asked why and he told me he could not finish my taxes unless I gave him an additional $2000. I was told by John Palm that he would not finish my taxes or give my information back to me and I would be stuck. He strong armed me into paying him. I had no other choice. I did not have my returns to do it myself or pass to HR Block to do them for me. He had all my info and now was demanding extra money from me. What could I do but pay him at this point.

I told him to come over so I could pay him. He told me he would show me all the work he had done and I would be impressed. When he came over he showed me nothing. I asked for the receipts he had made, he had none, I asked for any paper work he had done and he had none. He showed me blank forms and asked me to sign them. I did not know better and signed them anyway. I saw later on the IRS site never sign black forms. Its a sign of a fraud.

The last day for filing is now here and John Palm tells me everything has been electronically sent. I feel releived. Later that day he tells me it was not sent and he needs to come to my place of work and print everything out. I told him I payed you $2700 and you don't have your own printer or office to do it yourself!!!!

Later that day he tells me everything is done and what time will I be home. I meet him at my house again. He gets there and says to me as walking up the steps, I know you have a printer here right? I say excuse me? Your not done everything and you came here to print things out! What have you done all day. I told him to get out, I don't have a printer and now this is the second time you told me you where done.

Later that night he tells me everything is done again and he is going to mail everything off. He text me a photo of an envelope with my name on it and the IRS. Takes a photo of a receipt but never meets with me to give me the receipt of proof.

Later I find out he did the federal only and not the state taxes or the back taxes he was hired to do. At this point John Palm will not answer my text, emails or phone calls. John Palm is a Fraud!!!! He is not a tax accountant as he finally stated to me and my wife. He is a small business man who owns a website called http://computernerdspa.com/ which now is down. 

This guy has disapperared with our money and probably screwed up our taxes and we will be screwed in the future. Do Not Use John Palm in Philadelphia for anything!!1

If you are a lawyer, please contact me right away. I want to prosecute this guy to the fullest!
