I hired Blue Tax back in 2010 to do my taxes - they told me they would take care of filing an extension for me, I sent them their $3000.00 retainer and waited...heard from the IRS that no extension had been filed, contacted Blue Tax and was told they HAD filed and that the IRS was lying to me.  Turns out Blue Tax had failed to file the extension, at which time I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.  Todd Lewis contacted me and said they would refund  half of my retainer if I would withdraw the complaint with the BBB and that they had let go the person who had failed to do the extension, and that he would personally see to it that my taxes were taken care of.  They then filed my federal and state taxes, (without saving me enough to justify the amount of their retainer).  I paid what was owed to both fed and state, only to find out when the state contacted me two years later that Blue Tax had not filed that claim properly and that I owed them significantly more than what Blue Tax claimed, plus penalties and fees in the amount of nearly $3000 more.  I have been in contact with Todd Lewis and Brian Smith many times over the course of the last year, with NO SATISFACTION whatever as to their culpability  for misfiling  my taxes. Their answer to everything is to claim that the person/people responsible for messing up no longer work there, which does  nothing to alleviate the stress their incompetence and arrogance has caused me personally.  I do not recommend wasting your money entrusting your taxes to this irresponsible group.

Todd Lewis starting Fire Financial debt relief

AUTHOR: urbas fraud - ()

POSTED: Wednesday, January 01, 2014

Don't fall prey to the new company brought to you by the wonderful Todd Lewis and Justin Urbas [Of the quickly declining Blue Tax scam]

 You'll notice the similar childish animated poorly designed website FireFinancial.com that immediately reminds you of bluetax.com

 They're not even trying to hide the relation, if you look at public WHOIS records of firefinancial, it's registered to Blue Tax VP Todd Lewis, and blue tax mailing address:

 Registry Registrant ID:

Registrant Name: Todd Lewis

Registrant Organization:

Registrant Street: 8236 Remmet Ave.

Registrant City: Canoga Park

Registrant State/Province: California

Registrant Postal Code: 91304

Registrant Country: United States

Registrant Phone: 3103392867

In case you didn't know, Todd Lewis is the malicious, degrading, demeaning vp of Blue Tax that will tell you that you are going to hell, or must prey on little animals.

He'll promise you the world on the phone, or if he does agree to a refund check, it will bounce, because Blue Tax doesn't have any new money. That's why their starting "Fire Financial" out of the same office. You'll see the domain is only 2 months old, so any claims of 'prior customers' or 'prior performance' are complete FRAUD.

If you want a little more backgrond on the owner of blue tax, that would be Justin & angelica Urbas, aka David Justin Urbas.

Look him up on losangeles.netronline.com/la-index.php , you'll see he has a nice track record of starting a company, defrauding the CA EDD [ca employment tax], and the IRS.  It leaves his employees high and dry when they file their tax returns or file for unemployment, because according to the state, justin never sends any records to them.

Youll see he has tax liens against him by the state, by the IRS, under both Blue Tax, and XTS global,  his prior companies.

He's now had to resort to using his poor wife's name [angelica urbas] to try to escape the public's eye. His wife is now listed as the president of blue tax consulting corp [corporationwiki.com/California/Los-Angeles/angelica-urbas/107770662.aspx ]

Think twice before putitng your financial and family's future in the hands of the Lewis and Urbas family who scam for a living, with no remorse.

Obviously more of your lies Todd. That site and "trustlink.org is obviously controlled by YOU to attempt to swindle more people into your web of criminolgy through obviously false kudos!Your karma is here and evolving nicely as it should. 

And what about you calling my husbands boss at work and trying to get my husband fired for me telling the TRUTH on this site about your swidling company? Nice job in digging your karma hole even deeper.

So here it is people.. He did this .....but what do you expect from an extortionist making a mockery of the fine state of California as the Attorney General and the FTC allows you to continue frauding the public dispite an overwhelming upheaval of ignored complaints.
