Lakeside Financial Group – Legit or Scam?

I came across a critical review of Lakeside Financial Group on a Scam Reporting website – DirtyScam.com, titled ‘Frustrated And Unnecessarily Stressed’.

DirtyScam allows anonymous submission of complaints from angry consumers and victims of scams. Since the website is hosted offshore (probably in Russia or India), we take this (negative) review against Lakeside Financial Group with a pinch of salt.

Here is what the review says –

I was pretty disappointed with my tax preparation service: forgotten emails, difficulty opening files, I had to repeatedly call to get anyone to return my calls, extensions filed without my consent, and I ended up paying taxes I didn’t need to pay (I had a city official call me after I filed to tell me after I sent them a check that I was exempt).I’m sure they mean well but the process of having my business and personal return completed left me frustrated and unnecessarily stressed out.If you’re going to spend this kind of money I’d find a better business to trust with your taxes.

It is difficult to ascertain whether Lakeside Financial Group is a Scam, or Legit, based on this single review.

Regardless, until then, we give the benefit of doubt to the reviewer and list Lakeside Financial Group as someone you need to avoid (for now).
