Beware of using this organization. We have researched due to our experiences with Becker Tax Services to find Joseph Becker is a fraud! His license was revoked in the state of Texas, a sex offender? we have read, a con artist from everything we have read and/or experienced first hand. He is unstable and will strike out at you if you cross his path. He lives here in the U.S. taking your money and conducting fraudulant acts and his "family" is in the Phillipines. As an American during these hard times, please find someone else to conduct your taxes and business needs. Just visit the office and see for yourself and judge for yourself! OR simply call the state accounting board and find out how many complaints have been sent to them on Joseph Becker! They cannot prosecute since he has no license, but they can go after thim if her is claiming to be a CPA. Which he is very careful not to do. Accountants are a dime a dozen like most professions, FIND A GOOD ONE and don't get tangled in this WEB OF DECEIT ! ! !

Matter of opinion.....

AUTHOR: Mammamia - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, May 15, 2009

I would like to start by saying that I have been coming to Joe Becker for over 10 years. After a mix up with ours sons SSN early on, by one of his employees, we would not let any one but Joe do our taxes. We still to this day go to him for our taxes, even though we now live out of state.

I happened to come across this website by accident. After I read all of the allegations against Joe, I did my share of research. The sex offender information seems to be true in the fact that he is registered. But even if you date your girlfriend and she is too much younger that the man, you can be charged with some BS and have to register for the rest of your life. That is the case with Johnny Jackson, Texas Body Art. This could have happened to myself and my now husband if my mom really wanted to be a heifer. From what I read, those charges were over 10 years ago, and he completed probation with no problems. So, he paid his dues. As far as the newest court suit, from what I saw on all the court papers is: Wealthbuilder wanted to lease office space and not have to pay for it, they also wanted to by Joe's business and not pay for it. From what I know being 32 years of age is that you have to pay for things to get them. If you dont pay your rent you get kicked out. After reading the court papers, this is the case. Wealthbuilder is mad that the doors got locked after they decided to not pay their rent. Happens to the best of us, especially those of us who dont pay our bills. As far as Joe's license for being a CPA goes, he does NOT advertise that HE is a CPA. But like all of the Plumbing, Electrical, and HVAC companies do: you have a master plumber, master electrician, and a master hvac man, a license that the whole company works under. Thats what makes them a licensed company and thats also what makes them able to pull permits and such with the city. After 10 years of review from my personal taxes, they have never been signed Joe Becker, CPA.

When you go to the DA's website you do not see any civil suit about a woman suing Joe for over a million dollars. In fact, if you pay attention, it says what type of lawsuits are filed, and when they are filed. People really need to download every piece of information that was filed to get the full story.

It sounds like the person that said Joe was running an illegal business in the Phillipeens, is a very disgruntled employee. Have you been to that country to know this for a fact? Unless you have proof that we can see online, dont talk about things like that. Remember?, believe none of what you hear and 1/2 of what you see. Is he running a sweat shop or something? Guess what? Nike does and people still buy their overpriced shoes.

The only negative things that I can say about Joe's office is that they are unorganized. They cant answer your questions when you call in. They all want to transfer you to Joe. Not only that but even when you make an appointment you have to wait for hours, even when its a ohone conference. I have never been audited by the IRS, and I feel like I dont pay an arm and a leg to have piece of mind about my taxes being done correctly.

Stop busting his balls, he's running a business. He came from a whole in the wall to a nice office in a nice part of town. Jealousy is not a good thing. Watch the movie Seven with Brad Pitt. Not only that but before people post things on the internet they should read ALL of the facts and put 2 and 2 together. Oh, and one more thing, I guess the person that started all of this has never made any mistaked in his/her life. We all have a past. Mine isnt pretty and it takes up several suitcases, but the past is the past. Get over it.

I will continue to go to Joe for my taxes. He knows my husband and I by name and thats just something that you dont get anymore. Your lucky to get someone on the phone that can speak english, or your even luckier to not lose your job to a mexican that isnt even an american citizen. Thats a whole different rebuttal though.

I hope people read this and feel more comfortable about Beckers Tax Service. We are all not perfect. Have a good day.

PUBLIC INFORMATION ON MR. JOSEPH C. BECKER OF BECKER'S TAX SERVICE LP

AUTHOR: Anonymous - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, March 10, 2009

PUBLIC INFORMATION RECORDS AVAILABLE ON JOSEPH C. BECKER:

Go to: www.hcdistrictclerk.com
On the left hand side click "Search Our Records & Documents"
In the Defendant field type "Becker, Joseph" and press enter
Doing this will retrieve the following civil cases:

Case # 199618574 - Civil lawsuit brought by rape victim following Joe Becker's criminal conviction. Joe Becker was found guilty of Aggravated Sexual Assault and Plaintiff was awarded over $1 million in damages. This is a separate case from the criminal trial in which he was convicted of aggravated sexual assault.

Case # 200251401 - Lawsuit brought by Texas State Board of Public Accountancy because Joe Becker was still holding himself out as a CPA after his license was permanently REVOKED, NOT voluntarily surrendered as he likes to claim. A Permanent Injuction was entered against Joe Becker in this case.

Case # 200340142 - Lawsuit brought against Joe Becker by the Texas State Bar for providing legal services when he is not an attorney. A Permanent Injunction was entered against Joe Becker in this case.

Case # 200808162 - Lawsuit for FRAUD brought by Moody National Bank against a client of Becker's Tax Service LP, Joseph C. Becker and Becker's Tax Service LP. Joe Becker produced fake financial statements for this client (you can get the name from the case documents) with inflated income. These financial statements were then given to Moody National Bank in connection with a loan sought by the client. Joe Becker was found guilty of fraud and a judgement was issued against Joseph Becker and Becker's Tax Service, LP for roughly $600,000 in this case.

Case # 200869017 - Lawsuit for FRAUD brought by a firm that attempted to purchase Joe Becker's business in 2007. This case is still pending in court.

The links to each of theses cases contain all relevant court documents in PDF file format. Please don't take my word for it...READ THE DOCUMENTS. You'll be shocked and appalled at what you find.

If the above information isn't enough:

Go to www.txdps.state.tx.us.
On the left hand side click "Crime Records"
Again on the left hand side click "Sex Offender Search"
Click "Sex Offender Registry"
Search by name for Joseph C Becker
This will pull up Joe Becker's Sex Offender profile & mugshots

If that still doesn't convince you to stay away:

Go to: www.tsbpa.state.tx.us
Click License Lookup - Individual Licensee
In the name field type "Becker, J"
Click the link to "Becker, Joseph"

You will clearly see that Mr. Joseph C. Becker's CPA license was Suspended in 1994 for "Discreditable Acts". You will also see that in 1999 his CPA license was permanently REVOKED for "Discreditable Acts". This man did not "voluntarily surrender" his license as he claims.

Please, please please...follow the above instructions to research this man and stay away from him! Tell everyone you know to stay away as well. He is nothing but a common criminal, pervert, thug, bully, liar and con-artist. He will file a rebuttal to this report as he always does claiming 'so-and-so is a liar and they're out to get me, blah, blah blah'. PUBLIC RECORDS DON'T LIE FOLKS. Skip the "he said, he said" and get to the truth...the public records available on this man and his "business" will reveal all you need to know.

Becker's Tax Service is a Bookkeeing, Income Tax, and Financial Services Company, We offer qualtiy work at bookkeeping prices

AUTHOR: Jospeh C Becker - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, March 01, 2009

Becker's Tax Service It is really easy for people like Randall to post lies and hide behind anonymous poster Houston Texas

I am Joseph Becker of Becker's Tax Servcie. We have been doing business in Hosuton since 1990. We are and always have been a bookkeeping and tax firm. We are not a CPA firm nor have we ever represented that we were such a CPA firm. We offer Professional quality Bookkeeping, Tax, and Finacial Servcies at an affordable price.

I did pass the CPA exam (1984) and the Enrolled Agent Exam (2005). Rather then fight the Texas State Board of Accountancy, I forfitted my CPA license in 2000. This has no bearing on Becker's Tax Servcie being able to perform quality affordable Bookkeeping, Tax, and Financail Servcie work. As stated before, we are not a CPA firm. We do employee experienced professionals that are certifed, enrolled agents, and or experienced tax preparers.

The tittle or desigantion does not mean a person is knowledgable or not about financail and tax matters. I have been preparing taxes, doing bookkeeping, and audits for over thirty years. I take CPE courses every year to stay abreast of the current laws. We purposely are not a CPA firm to afford our clients better service and better rates.

We have served over 50,000 differant clients over the years. Most of our clients come back again and again. Rely on us for multitude of differant services. Not that it matters about our busienss, but my wife is a filipina. We have five kids and we do have a house and business in the Philippines. All of our friends and clients are invited to come visit us there.

Randall, DBA Wealthbuilder Tax and DBA Wbtax was locked / thrown out of the offices of Becker's Tax service last March of 2008. Randall is a con artitst and a liar. He has a practice of telling halve truths and vicious lies. Since being locked out of Beckers Tax Service he has solicited through mail, phone calls, false web postings, the clients and friends of me and Becker's Tax Service. Unlike Randall, we at Becker's Tax Service do not hide behind unknown or false names. We are proud to be here serving our friends and clients. Randall conned his way into Becker's Tax Service, when it was apparent that he was not an accountant and was a liar and a thief so we parted aways. Unfortunately for us, Randall has nothing better to then to continue his assults on me, Becker's Tax Service, and now my wife and children.

If you have an comments or need more information, I can be reached at our company phone number seven days per week from 6am to midnight.
