An email went out this morning from Preston Brown, the owner/operator of the southside radio station WCLM, urging folks to boycott The New Era Accounting & Tax Services on Williamsburg Road:

The Heart and Soul of the City Newspaper was called to The New Era Accounting & Tax services at 1631 Williamsburg Road next door to Krispy Fried Chicken on Feb 4, 2010.

A 17-year-old high school student went there to see how much it would cost to have her taxes done. She was told to leave her w-2 forms so they could check it out after two trips there she felt uncomfortable doing business with Oladipo H. Muritala. She asked for her w-2 forms back and was told she had to bring her mother to get her forms back.

When her mother came their , she was told they had to pay $120.00 or sue them to get her w-2 forms back. Complaints have been filed with the Board of Accountancy, The General Attorneys Office, and The Consumers Affairs Dept. and more are to be filed.

We can no longer let business come into our communities and mistreat our people and specially our kids.

We ask you not to do business with this company and inform your friends and family members also.

We must protect our communities from fraud, deception, and illegal practices in the marketplace, if you would like to report a business to the paper consumer watch e-mail use at heartandsoulnews@aol.com or call WCLM Radio at 231-2186.
