I am filing a complaint against a network of websites that appear to be fraudulently impersonating IRS services related to EIN (Employer Identification Number) applications. These websites mislead consumers into believing they are affiliated with irs.gov or are official IRS partners. In reality, they charge $319 for an EIN application, which is a free service directly offered by the IRS. The sites collect highly sensitive personal and business information, including: Social Security Number (SSN) Date of Birth Home address Full legal name Business details This creates a serious risk of identity theft and financial fraud. The operators provide no legitimate company name, business registration, tax ID, or physical address on their websites. Domain registration details are hidden, and the sites are protected by Cloudflare, making it difficult to identify the responsible parties. Known related websites include: https://ein.simpleetaxfiling.com https://einfilingassist.com https://ein-tax-id-application.com https://getmytaxid.com https://apply-us-taxid.com https://us-taxfiling.com They collect payments using Member Planet credit card processing service (https://www.memberplanet.com). This operation appears designed to intentionally deceive consumers, collect sensitive data under false pretenses, and charge for a service that is legally free. This is fraud. These sites should be immediately investigated and taken offline to protect consumers. [BBB Scam Type: Online Purchase] [Business: EIN Simple e-tax Filing] [Location: NJ, USA- 07470]
