NADN National Audit Defense Network NADN Don't be fooled They are a SCAM! Las Vegas Nevada
On 4 November 2002, I heard a radio announcement on a well known, respected radio station about a company, National Audit Defense Network, or NADN, which was selling a $40 tax help packet for the cost of shipping. I was curious about the offer and so I called. After getting my personal information, they proceeded to try and sell me a tax service for the next 4 years at the cost of $1412.95.
When I told them I was only interested in their tax help packet and did not want to pay for their tax auditing services, they kept trying to persuade me to take advantage of this service by sending me from one person to another. I think I talked with 3 or 4 different people that morning, who kept trying to pressure me into purchasing their tax auditing service, despite my telling them I was not interested.
The woman I spoke with, I do not recall her name, said, You know when you purchase something on your credit card you can always cancel that purchase without any questions or problems. I asked her if I could think about their service and read some documentation about their company and call them back if I was interested. They told me I could only have this opportunity at that moment when I was speaking with them. If I called back 5 minutes later, they would charge me their full price, which was $3,000 or $4,000.
They also told me if I sent in my last 3 years tax returns, they would save me over $1000 per year by sending in an amended tax return for those years. This savings alone would pay for their service, so they said. Based on this statement I relented to their service.
I faxed in my 2001, 2000, and 1999 tax returns to them. After sending in this information, I spoke with at least 6 different people. Each assured me they would service my account and amend my tax returns. To date, I have not received any word from them on my amended tax returns nor on any additional tax savings I would receive from using their service.
Because they have not fulfilled their agreement to provide a minimum of $1000 savings on each of my past 3 years tax returns, I have decided I do not want their service nor the hassle of trying to work with them. However, when I call to speak with someone at NADN, they either put me on hold for 30 minutes or take my name and number and then never call back.
They have engaged in deceptive advertising, as well as bait and switch advertising procedures, by making statements about their tax help packet and then convincing you to pay for their tax service, which they do not provide, despite repeated calls to their office.
I have made numerous calls to speak with someone, all to no avail. I have faxed letters to them, emailed them, and have gotten no response.
I have currently filed a dispute with my credit card company to find a resolution to NADN's deceptive and dishonest business practices. Please don't become another victim to NADN!

After getting my money they pretty much forgot that I existed but as the old saying goes "follow the money". A year has come and gone since I signed up with these crooks and what do you know, it's time to grease their palms again. At first I screened their calls by not answering them (caller id). From me, NADN was looking for a speicific salary range. Last year I told them the truth about how much I make, this year I lied my a*s off and said that my income has dropped. This has stopped the bothering phone calls quite a bit. They sent me a package offering to do my taxes from last year, the question is are they competent enough to do it? My doubts run high. I feel so very sorry for those innocent people who were suckered into such a scam as this. LONG LIVE THE RIP-OFF REPORT!!! LONG LIVE THE RIP-OFF REPORT!!! LONG LIVE THE RIP-OFF REPORT!!!

It's amazing how judgemental people really are. A couple of weeks ago i discovered this website while fooling around on the internet. I looked up taxes to check on my CPA and I came up with NADN somewhere along the line. Bottome line, I thought NADN must have been the most horrible company ever, but I noticed that a lot of the comments were people who got scared after looking at this site. SO I DID MY OWN RESEARCH. First I talked with my CPA and ironically enough he had nothing but good things to say about NADN, it turns out NADN has been around for 23 years and was started by Pat Cavanaugh who is one our nations best tax experts!! No lie. Also I brought it up with my sister yesterday. She couldnt believe the stories on this site. I showed her. She then showed me her tax return after NADN had filed it and the one for the year before. She got back an extra $2100 with NADN's help, she's been with them for four years. I called my CPA this morning and he is willing to allow NADN to help him with my taxes. I called up and spoke with a representative of NADN this morning and as soon as my husband gets home from work today we will sign up with NADN despite what this website says. GO NADN! GO NADN! GO NADN!

Nancy, Here's what you should do. Contact your credit card company and tell them that somebody fraudulently used your credit card and charged it $1,412.95. Tell your credit card company that you want the charged removed from your account and that you want that card cancelled immediately. Ask them to send you a new card promptly. Never ever again give your credit card number to anyone on the phone again......ever. Never ever give your social security number to anyone unless absolutely necessary and never give it over the telephone. Then I want you to contact the three major credit bureaus and have a fraud alert placed on your account. You gave your social security number and income statements to some shady characters. Who knows what a group of telemarketers will do with your personal information. Do not try to deal with NADN. Good Luck, TFC

Buyers Remorse

This is a classic case of buyers remorse. This woman was also spotted in the Las Vegas Adult Superstore, yelling at the clerk, asking why she could not get her money back for the used pocket rocket. DUH. she's buy a clue but would probably want her money back for that too.
