While many eligible employers claimed and have already received the ERC, some third parties continue to widely advertise their services targeting taxpayers who may not be eligible for the ERC. Unfortunately, these advertisements, along with the increased prevalence of websites touting how easy it is to qualify for the ERC, lend an air of legitimacy to abusive claims for refund.

Although we have our own in-house web development, we are always getting requests from people who want to sell their web or marketing services to us.   But, something new popped up in my mailbox this week. In what appears to be a legitimate invoice mailed to my business address, a phony directory company called ‘Domain Networks’ requests up to $289 for ‘listing maintenance’.  It really is an impressive looking invoice - that really isn't an invoice.
