    Date of transaction:02/06/2023 Paid in cash: $300.00 There was hidden charges envolved for $948.00 For 7 year my husband and me went to that office to pay our car insurance. Only for this unique time left them (**** and **********) our income tax return was prepared by them. Our refund is $3,492 and we checked that in "where is my refund" (IRS website) On 06/24/23 we received a deposit to our ***** fargo bank account only of $2,544.10. We called ****** and **********. At the moment only ********** answered the phone explaining illogical reasons why we received less. She tells us about of prior debts that we have with IRS, and said that they (****** and **********) work with a bank that collect additional fees to get the refund ready in our bank account. Please help us, she now is rude with us and told us that we are not going to get our money back.Cellphone **********: **************. Office Phone: ************** ********** is incredibly dishonest and lies so much that she believes her own lies. How many people did she and ********************? Please help us. We don't speak much English so I would like you to help us get JUSTICE.It was our bad hour in that office where for so many years we were going to pay our auto insurance. ****** wrapped my husband and charged him $300 cash. We have the receipt of the payment and the copy of the taxes and when we got home we found that our declaration had another bank account number and that's where the whole show began.We had always done our taxes in another office where they always explained everything to us and charged us only $160 and all our money always came to us without any fraud, but this time the car insurance office was closer to us and that's why we went.Please, the money that my husband costs so much effort with his hard work cannot be taken by this fraudulent office. Help us get our money back. The truth is that we want what they secretly deducted $948 from us, and also those who charged us $300. Total $1,248.00
