ST. PAUL, Minn. – A Virginia-based tax debt settlement company has been ordered to refund more than $2.7 million in feeds to hundreds of Minnesotans.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says Wall & Associates, Inc. defrauded 224 Minnesotans into signing up for its services.
“I hope this multi-million-dollar judgment serves as a warning to scammers everywhere: I will not hesitate to sue you, take you to trial, and make you quite literally pay if you cheat the people of Minnesota,” says Ellison. “It is truly despicable that Wall & Associates was deceiving and defrauding folks who were already struggling financially. I am pleased to have held them accountable and pleased to be putting money back in the pockets of people who were cheated. I encourage any Minnesotan who believes they were the victim of a scam to file a complaint with my office. Your speaking up could help us catch the person who scammed you and prevent someone else from falling victim in the future.”…
