    I am thinking about writing the Governor of Indiana about this. I have written the Attorny General and the Secretary of State of Indiana and of course they said they would look into it. That,s been several months and I have,nt heard a thing.
    I,m guessing that ole Kimmy is living it up off our money and is going to get off scott free.

    Sagehen, how do you know he,s scott free? Do you know something we don,t ? I,m only guessing he will get away with it.
    The fellow who ran 12DailyPro is going to jail sometime this month. I invested a little in that scam, and will get a little bit back. I,m hopeing Inman will get the same. Probably won,t, but keep hopeing.

    Okie! I have no idea i was involved for only $700.00 I know of a person who contacted the IRS and was supposedly told that Income Tax was as stated (income tax) if he rercieved no money not to worry. remember this is hearsay if I were you I would certainly check it out before paying.

    Can anyone tell me about New Horizons? I was a member of YMMSS & lost almost $10,000. A few months ago I was contacted by New H. who claim they are going to continue with the YMMSS business & could be paying back the “shareholders”. Any comments?

    Hello This is summerbeeze YMMS /SuccessThroughAdvertising send in a fraudulient 1099 to the IRS stating I owed thousands of dollars for the year of 2006 and I had not received any income at all. Now the company has folded and the Internal Revenue Serves is saying the burden of proof is on the taxpayer. Now they are telling me to pay the taxes on that money which I never received by April 23,2008 or action will be taken .  So the battle begins anyone with advice on how to proceed in this matter post a comment. The truth is on side and I will not concede to the evil doers.

    I received a 12 page notice for information from the I.R.S. Mar 14, 2008. It is their follow up to the bogus 1099 from YMMSS and the 3949 I filed on Kim Inman and YMMSSi n 2006. This is procedure. I also stopped into the local F.B.I office and had an agent checked to see if there was an investigation on Kim Inman. He found that there’s an open investigation on Kim Inman in their Houston Texas Office filed by more than 200 former members. If you have not filed an IC3, please do so, it strengthens your claim.  I answered the I.R.S. request with a copy of my back office home page showing cash earned $00.00, cash paid $80.99 and bogus accelerated earnings YMMSS sent to the I.R.S $23,722.. I also sent a copy of the minutes from conference call 02/08/2006, where Kim clearly states that even though you did not receive cash, he claims the I.R.S. told him that he could pay members in WAC’s or cash. The I.R.S. flatly states that if you did not receive compensation in money by check or cash in your pocket, you did not receive a taxable income as stated by Kim Inman’s 1099. I also sent copies of all the Federal and State Agencies I filed complaints with, along with any YMMSS documents i.e. conference call minutes 02/10,2005 that explained the YMMSS business, cycle times, the increases cycle times minutes, original purchases, help desk correspondence, or anything that could make it clear to the I.R.S. that I was the victim of a confidence scheme and was never paid the amounts Kim reported to the I.R.S. In all, I sent 17 different letters or documents to prove my case. I am now waiting for their findings.  I think or I should say, I hope the next step will be for the I.R.S. to contact Kim Inman and ask him to provide proof that he paid the members the amounts he has claimed in those fraudulent 1099 . Wish Me Luck.

    I received a letter from the Indiana Secretary of State, Securities Division asking me to fill out a five-page form listing my “Investment Experience”, copies of receipts that I paid STA, names of who sold or presented the investment offer, names of anyone else I knew who the offer was presented, etc.

    Has anyone else received this?  I told one other person about it, and they did buy EPCs.  This is the only sight I can find that has recent posts.  Thanks!

    I have spoken with the investigator from that office.  They are interested in hearing from anyone who “invested.” I believe they are trying to track down our money.

    The letter was sent to Indiana residents from a list they obtained, but the investigator would be interested in contact information for anyone who “invested.”

    The letter also says that “This inquiry should not be construed as an indication by the Indiana Securities Division or any of its employees that any violations of law have occurred. . .”

    I called the investigator because I wanted to ask some questions and ask if I needed to send copies of my “huge” stack of receipts for purchases through INTgold.  He answered all my questions to my satisfaction and told me I could send just a summary of my purchases, but asked that I hold on to everything in the event the documents were needed.

    I was surprised to learn that there were 28,000 Indiana residents on that list, and a total of around 100,000 worldwide!  Could there have been more revenue coming in than we thought?

    I have already filled out papers for the IRS and sent them a lot of documents to back up the fact that I didn’t receive any money from ymmss.  I just received another letter from the IRS telling me to establish a schedule of payments for back taxes that I DON’T owe but they say I do. 

    I currently have requested a free consultation from a tax resolution service that I got off of the radio.  I’m waiting for a response.  In case this helps, here is the web site:  http://www.taxresolution.com

    This is what everyone MUST do to resolve their problem with the IRS concerning the FRAUDULENT 1099 Kim Inman and Success Through Advertising sent them in 2006. I am posting this form letter to give you a basic idea on what you must say when answering those IRS CP2000. Or you may call the IRS and ask them over the phone to do this on your behalf. This process is lengthy becase the IRS must wait six months to give Kim Inman an opportunity to respond. If he does not respond with verification that he paid you the amount he entered on the what we know to be fraudulent 1099, in six months the IRS will drop the collect of said amount owed back taxes and close the case against you.  (form letter)

    IRS Agent;

    Let me first state, that this 1099 sent to you by Success Through Advertising owned by Kim Inman is a false and fraudulent tax statement. I did not receive this $ ________ from this company or the person owning it. I did lose $ ______ in this pyramid ponzi scheme to Success Through Advertising.

    In January 2007 when I first received this phony1099 I tried to contact Kim Inman at the address on the 1099 to get him to explain this fraudulent 1099 and to get him to send a correct 1099 to me and the IRS, that showed my actual earnings of $00.00. I have not received an answer from Kim Inman or Success Through Adverting to this day. I also filed a 3949 online to the IRS fraud Dept.

    At this time, I am asking that you please assist me in contacting Kim Inman, and Success through Adverting and have him send you verification of my receiving the amount he alleged he paid me from Success through Adverting as he’s stated on this fraudulent 1099.

    Well, the YMMS/STA has hit home here. Kim turned into the IRS that we received 15,000 and we never received anything at all. We never eceived the 1099 but IRS did and they are wanting the 5000.00 in back taxes from 2006. We have contacted IRS and they were giving Kim a time to respond. We received a long letter from them stating we owed the back taxes. I’m going to contact them tomorrow to see if they will offer proof from Kim but will make it clear we never received any money from them in 2006. We actually left the company in late 2005 when the doubling of mour investment over 365 days. We have never received any emails from them concering oor account. Our email address hasn’t changed in ten years so you think they would have contacted us on any income. I tried to get into my old INT Gold account and it was closed. With all the frauds boing posted by so many peolpe you think the IRS would make Kim prove he paid us instead of us defending our position. ANy comments would be appreciated. Thanks John

    Hi to all of those who were ripped off by this Kim Inman.
    I filled out the 3949A form and sent serveral documents about this fraudulent 1099.
    I am now receiving CP2000 to pay the IRS based on the $1600 I never received. Is there a fraud claim number that may reference the charges being filed on YMMSS or Kim Inman so that I can place this in my documents I send once again.
    Any HELP, I would appreciate it.

    This country is the greatest country in the world!  but anytime yoiu get the IRS involved in something, it always seem to be ther tax paying citizens who have to proove any wrongdoings to them, why aren’t they after, Kim Inman, make him prove what he says he did instead of thousands of us proving he scammed us. You would think that this would be simple, just investigate and find out, that he scammed us.  Make him pay with jail time and restitution.

    Hi All
    Hey I got the same 1099 everyone else did.  I also got a letter from the IRS telling me I owed them money.  I just called them and told them about the business and that I did not receive anything from this company and that it was already closed and was a fraud and they took it off my account and told me it was being looked into.  I did this twice.  Once for each year I got a 1099.  It may take a long time for us to get anything back any other way but at least the IRS isn’t after me they are after the company.

    Hi all..Does anyone have a copy of the notice that the company was closing?  I did not keep a copy of it, and my accountant tells me I need something that tells us our “stock” is now worthless, in order to file an amended return..  I and my son paid the taxes on the 1099, only because the accountant said we must, even though we disagreed.  My daughter did not, and now she was hit with a letter from the IRS for 600.00.  She called the IRS, and they said YMMSS was flagged on Aug 2, 2008, and that she did not have to pay.  Thus, I need to file an amended return to see if I can get the money back.  I would appreciate any help anyone can give.  Thank you.

    Let me try to up date everyone on what I’ve uncovered and what you MUST do to clear up this YMMSS matter with the IRS.

    The IRS does not give out information on Kim Inman’s fraud complaint investigation that you filed through your 3949. However I will tell you that Kim Inman has already been audited by the IRS for Income Tax Evasion and is presently making monthly payments on his behalf.

    As stated in a post by mycomments the Indiana Secretary of Securities and Exchange IS going to prosecute Kim for defrauding the 28,000 citizen of Indiana, taking 400 citizen to court as witnesses from two counties around Kim’s home in Indiana. If convicted each count carries an EIGHT Year prison sentence. Also the FBI has an open investigation on Kim Inman in their Dallas TX. branch.. Lets say at this point the wheels of justice are grinding very slow but moving in the right direction.

    Now to clear up your IRS situation you MUST write Kim Iman a certified letter at the address posted on your fraudulent 1099 he sent you and the IRS, asking him to send you and the IRS a corrected 1099 which reflects your true earning. At the same time write a letter to the IRS ASKING THEM TO ASSIST YOU in contacting Success Through Adverting (attn: Kim Inman) at the post office box address he sent out the 1099. Ask the IRS to please assist you in contacting Kim Inman, and Success through Adverting and have him send you and the IRS verification of him paying you and you’re receiving the amount he allegedly paid you from Success through Adverting as his stated on the fraudulent 1099. They must wait 60 days for him to reply. If Kim does not reply in that time to the IRS, they will drop the tax collection effort against you.

    I have done this, as for Kim replying, I received my certified letter back undeliverable and kept it as proof that I made an effort to take action to resolve this matter with the employer. This is the only proof and action they are accepting. Do this and you solve your problem?

    In Sept. I received a letter from the IRS stating that thanks to my help in supplying information to the IRS, they have determined that I do not owe the IRS any taxes and they’ve closed the case against me. Wonderful isn’t it.

    I have some great news for those of you worried about taxes frome the p;hony 1099 that Kim sent to all of us. 

    I received a letter from the IRS that I owed them $750.00 from the 1099 from YMMSS.  I filled out the form that they sent and said that I did not receive any money from YMMSS and sent along a 3949A explaining the reason why I did not owe the money.  I also sent them a letter with Information on Kim. 

    Today I received a letter from the IRS thanking me for providing them with additional information about the issue and said they were pleased to tell me that with my help they were able to clear up the differences between my records and my payors records (YMMSS) and they also said if I had sent any money to the IRS, they would be refunding it to me. 

    Just wanted to let you know that it pays to be honest and KIM will get his if enough people pursue this and don’t be afraid of the tax man.

    Have you heard of anyone in YMMS/STA names Barbi Sholders?  I sent a letter certified mail back in Feb 2007, a lady by that name signed for it.  I never received a response from my letter.  Just curious because I saw you actually had your letter sent back to you.

    Hi Renken;

    I have not heard of this person. I do know, when you ask the IRS to assists you in contacting Kim Inman to send documentation backing his claim of paying you the amount he stated on the 1099 sent out, he has to respond, not anyone else. And to my knowledge, he has not responded to the IRS in verify his fraudulent 1099. Thous the IRS claim on your back taxes is dropped.

    I have assisted 4 people who I brought into YMMSS this way and all the IRS back tax claims on them have been dropped. Also there has been a flag placed on Kim Inman and YMMSS at the IRS offices and all claim of former YMMSS members owing the IRS taxes are being dropped. (only when you respond to their inquiry and in the way I’ve described or by telephone).

    I hope the IRS looks at Kim Inman’s actual income earning from this scam again and lock him up for tax evasion and any other related crimes his committed.
    He has really, really hurt a lot of people.

    All Austalian and New Zealand members who were ripped off by Kim Inman and his family, should also send information to the IRS in regards to monies that Kim and his cohorts stole off them as well, because the amount would be in the million that are not accounted for because we Ozzies and Kiwis are not covered by the US tax durisdiction.
    But the important thing is the IRS should know about it.
