The Unofficial Alan is a Fucktard thread

[The Boz]

Alan has something going on with these guys. Dozens of tweets in the past few days promoting the site.

https://media-index.kochava.com/ad_p...alan-mendelson

And shoutout to Mr V for calling him out for the promotion on WoV.

Note all the stories on this site are written by Alan.

https://taxreliefinfo.org/

IF Alan was transparent he would disclose who is behind this website and which tax relief agencies do they refer potential customers to? This seems to be a clearing house hiding behind a public information site. If we knew who they refer individuals to we could find the reviews of those companies operating in an industry that is known for scams and frauds.

OK, Alan who is behind this “information” site?

[The Boz]

No, I'm not in need of www.taxreliefinfo.org but I am writing articles for their website and handling their advertising and marketing. I have a 15 year long relationship with this company doing marketing and advertising for them. I invite you to check their records and history with the BBB or any organization of your choice.

Just because I'm 70 years old doesn't mean I drop my clients like a hot potato or a burnt pizza pie.

15 years with them? So who is behind the site? They created this new “taxreliefinfo.org” website just 2 months ago. The first story on the site from you is on June 23rd, which is a week after theycreated it.

https://lookup.icann.org/en/lookup

Appears to be an Arizona corporation behind it. What other businesses are they in that you worked with them on in the past? What are they selling and who are they working with in the tax relief industry?

And remember Alan, you are the one that started this by shilling for them and drawing attention to the company and website that are very (intentionally?) vague.

[The Boz]

And more info on Domains by Proxy.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domains_by_Proxy

“ Fraudsters
Controversially, Domains By Proxy is also used by a number of organizations such as Clearance.co that target vulnerable individuals by sending threatening psychic letters, such as zodiac-services.com, and fake drug companies such as the now-defunct uk-online-pharmacy.com.[9] It is also used by fake anti-spyware and anti-malware sites like malwarefixes.com and 2-spyware.com to hide their real ownership of the software that they promote.”

[The Boz]

As I suspected this site is a clearinghouse to find potential customers for Tax Relief firms. It has a form to get your personal information and then you get this screen.



Again the question is what tax relief firms is this site selling the information of potential customers to? This is the only way to evaluate the credibility of these firms in an industry well known for scams and fraud to the point state governments and the IRS themselves warn taxpayers about them.

Wouldn’t a good reporter put all the details out there for any potential customers to review? After all, you Alan are the one promoting this very vague website online.

[mcap]

Yeah but Alan hasn’t been a reporter during any of the time I’ve known about him. He’s simply been a paid promoter that entire timeframe as far as I can tell.

[The Boz]

Yeah but Alan hasn’t been a reporter during any of the time I’ve known about him. He’s simply been a paid promoter that entire timeframe as far as I can tell.

I agree in the timeframe I’ve known of him as well.

But he often likes to bring up how he was a reporter and all the famous people he interviewed over the years.

And I believe he tries to utilize the legitimacy that gave him with certain people in the LA area to promote the businesses that now pay him. It’s a slippery slope when he is working with a company like this one appears to be. He and they are certainly not very transparent on who they are and what customer experiences are out there with their services.

[Alan Mendelson]

Why don't you call the office? The phone number is on every page of the site.

[The Boz]

Why don't you call the office? The phone number is on every page of the site.

And why don’t YOU tell us who is behind the website YOU are promoting on gambling forums?

Who would want these guys having their phone number captured when they seem to be hiding behind a shitty website pushing a product that is in an industry well known for scams and fraud.

What are YOU hiding Alan? You said you have worked with these guys for 15 years. What other companies in the tax industry do they own or have previously owned? Why don’t YOU want potential customers knowing who they are dealing with?

[smurgerburger]

The funny thing about citing some long distant past a reporter to give oneself an air of "credibility" is that reporters are probably at an all-time low in national repute.

[MisterV]

Forums don't want posters to "spam the board;" WoV is pretty adept at discovering and busting spam posts.

But then there is Alan.

Now I don't care what he does to earn money to piss away at the craps table; we all need money.

But in the interest of transparency, his post seems a clear violation of the rules, notwithstanding the exception he quoted when I initially challenged him at WoV.

We can only post links to businesses with a UNIQUE link to Las Vegas, and then only if we OWN the business: that is rule 3.

While I don't want Alan suspended (gotta get my daily laughs where I can, and he's an inadvertent font of absurdity) the post should be taken down.

Otherwise posters who projectile vomit their thoughts at WoV such as douchedawg will spam it nonstop, trying to drum up dog bite and slip and fall cases.

Alan in the past has shilled for Rush Tax Resolutions as has Sean Hannity. Is this another Rush operation trying to get customers without disclosing who the website is operated by?

https://rushtaxresolution.com/best-b...lan-mendelson/

“ If you, or your business currently owes the IRS back income taxes, or back payroll taxes, do not take on the IRS alone.

Take Alan Mendelson’s advice…



Free Consultation with a licensed Enrolled Agent and Free IRS Transcript Investigation and Analysis – a $1,500 value for Free.

Rush Tax Resolution will only take your case, if they can truly help protect your assets and save you money. ”

Next post will be a public review of Rush.

[The Boz]

Yelp review.
“ I entered into a contract with Rush Tax Resolution after working with another firm. My issue was complicated but was assured by the "sales" person that they could help. I paid the asking fee of nearly 4K and the process began. My case has been passed from one person, to finally the fifth. I was told my case was not addressed due to someone leaving the firm. Finally, after several inquiries one of the attorneys called me and got the ball rolling again. During the process of significant delays, "ball droppings", empty promises, and unanswered texts, emails, and phone calls; the IRS sent me several threatening letters, including a tax lien. This all occurred while Rush was handling my case.
If I could pull our case, I would. Rush did nothing for me that I could of done on my own by simply reading the publications. I have too much time, money, and effort invested with Rush.
Ask questions before signing with Rush. They make promises that can't be met. There are other firms out there which I'm sure are more aggressive than Rush Tax Resolution. I won't recommend their services to family or friends. I am in the process of filing a formal complaint with the BBB as I sit patiently for Rush to negotiate an equitable solution for my situation.
**** CONSUMER BEWARE ****”

“ Tax Resolution failed to file and follow up my agreement with the IRS. This resulted in additional penalties and fees. I personally contacted the IRS to resolve the issues Rush Tax Resolution caused. Further, the IRS AGENT stated Rush's inactions would cause an additional tax Lien, which was placed 12/31.
In summary, tax payers may settle their own accounts with the IRS without outsourcing to a form such as Rush Tax Resolution. We are in too deep with Rush, let's see if they continue to assist until the "re-opener" in 12 months as promised.”

[The Boz]

Another off Yelp. To be fair they do have several positive reviews as well. In fact they have over 200 from people that ONLY reviewed Rush and are not recommended by Yelp. Funny how many people only joined Yelp to review Rush and never posted another review. In fact in a month period between 1-29-2020 and 2-29-2020 over 100 glowing reviews of Rush were posted on Yelp by individuals with no other reviews. All of these are listed as “Not recommended” by Yelp. Why are over 40% of their reviews in a 1 month period?

“Well after reading the reviews, I figured Rush could see my problem and help. I paid to do the offer in comprimise and complied with all requests. On June 18th I got a letter from the IRS denying my offer based on inflated income the IRS derived from somewhere. The IRS says I have $$$ free money monthly in my budget and could pay a $$$$k tax debt in two years. I dont know where things went wrong but if I had that kind of money I surely wouldn't pay $$$$ to Rush to help me. I barely make my bills so I am just amazed this is the end result. I truly cant afford to pay the IRS and my daily bills. Sorry Rush but really I feel this case was not presented or argued well enough. I would not suggest anyone to use based on my experience in total retrospect. Rush never notified me the case was closed or even called to discuss why. I got my info direct from the IRS in a letter this past Saturday. I feel let down. The letter from the IRS clearly states my offer has been declined. Thanks for trying”

LOL. Well, who knew? Rule 3, huh?

I could have been posting links to everything I do on WoV, as I own my business and have unique links to Las Vegas, having stayed in Las Vegas a hundred nights a year for 25 years while running my business. I guess I must have missed that chance to promote and recruit.

I'm very hurt that Singer didn't point this out to me.

[The Boz]

Alan has also pitched “Leading Tax Group” based in Sherman Oaks in the past.

Ok Alan, which one is currently paying you to promote their company on Gambling Websites?

[MisterV]

If as it appears he's deliberately spamming the board in violation of the rules he must be either desperate or not giving a fuck.

Perhaps his son will chime in with another unflattering report?

[kewlJ]

Alan, Alan, Alan!! 70 years old and still engaging in business. That is fine, commendable. But why have your business practice for the last 20 years basically seem to be shady and shyster-ish?

I just got done saying, in this very thread, That I have never found any gambling claims by Alan to be anything I don't believe, anything that raises questions other than the 18 y.o. in a row and I still give Alan a pass because I think he honestly believed that is what he saw, and after the math was pointed out to him, just what a preposterous long shot that was he couldn't bring himself to say he might have been wrong.

Somebody did bring up the 4 or 5 royal hits on a 24 hour period and still lost money. That is borderline to me, because I have never been sure if some of them were smaller royals on multi-play machines or not. I could see that happening on a multiplay machine, or with degen type gamblers that win something and immediately increase stakes trying to hit something big, but end up giving it all back. And to me Alan and his son qualify as degen type gamblers. I was suspended for saying that on another forum. I don't say that with any kind of malice, just everything points to that....no?

So despite Alan's shady business practices, I still don't see anything in his gambling claims, (other than the big 18.y.o's) that strikes me as preposterous, or even unlikely. Nothing that causes me to say "that can't happen".

[kewlJ]

By the way, I think I now have this reputation of calling out claims that seem illogical to me. It really is about the math, not what seems likely to me. There have been many claims which I think "That probably didn't happen", but I only have called out 3 and a half (<- ) as just completely defying the math.

The 3 are Singer, Mdawg and my first, a guy named T3 at a blackjack forum who claimed his specialized count gave him a 5% advantage in card counting. Perfect computer play doesn't give you a 5% advantage in card counting.

And the 1/2, is Moses. What Moses claimed did not defy the math, but a player just can't do that Longterm in RENO. He later amended his claims to that he had made $100k over 10 years, which is more like what you can get away with in Reno.

So I am not the "what can and can't be" police or guardian, that people think. But come on people, the math has to work. You just can't claim you win, win win, without some explanation of how you gain a mathematical advantage. It also is very insulting to real players that find and play with an advantage and endure whatever difficulties come with that, like in my case, being allowed to play and long losing periods.

I just get annoyed when someone comes along and says "I win, I win, I win, Pit bosses say I am the best player ever and they love me" I mean, what planet are we on?

What is the point of this post? No one here thinks you are the "what can and can't be" police/guardian so why do you need to state that?

Who are you addressing? "Come on people" like you're the sharp one? Who're the rubes here?

Math tells you that BJ counting works and variance and expectation etc. Logic tells you that it would be near impossible to count 3 tables at once in a casino scenario and most likely elsewhere. Although I suspect certain people could train themselves to count 3 decks simultanously, logic tells me that this shit would never work in a casino. I might be wrong here, but thats what my logic tells me.

Just venting a little I guess. maybe it would have been better placed on that other "rube" forum.

As for 3 tables, come on dude. I probably have pulled off counting 3 tables, 4 or 5 times total. The conditions have to be perfect, including all tables starting about the same time and even then, I can only do so for a round or two before dropping the worst of the counts.

My experience that I shared which a few (mostly non-blackjack players) question, was tracking 2 tables, not 3. And that too, the conditions need to be just right. And frankly I have fewer and fewer instances where conditions are just right for that. Post covid vs pre-covid seems to be far less chances for that or situations where conditions are just right, sadly.

Maybe climate change is the cause.
