Serious Question - GoFuckYourself.com

I've been in this biz for quite a while now and I have never had this happen.

A sponsor has been giving me the run around about not paying me for the past couple months or so.So I stopped promoting them.
However they had the nerve to send me a a 1099-Misc form claiming they paid the money.
Should I contact a treasury agent or the IRS and turn them in for fraud?
My accountant says that is what I should do immediately.

Just curious if any of you guys have had this happen..?

I think this all depends on the amount owed to you. I personally would try a treasury agent before i go to the IRS....... here in Belgium IRS always looks BOTH ways

Depends really on the amount in question.

It depends in the amount but I would contact the IRS and maybe hire and attorney. Shady business like that make the industry look bad.

Sorry to hear, but yeah I would report this company. Either way its not good

YES!
Contact the sponsor first and let them know what you're doing. If you dont hear from them within 3 or 4 days, then go straight to the IRS; burn the f*ckers!

As long as your hands are completely clean (there is nothing that a treasury agent or IRS could dig up on you) then let them have it after giving them 72 hours to sort it out.

I am just amazed a shady program would send you the 1099, I can not even get the fucking honest ones to send them.
