The Better Business Bureau of the Southland (Southern California) has announced the 10 southland businesses chosen to receive its not-so-coveted annual Pluto Awards. Appropriately named for the mythological Roman god of the underworld, the Pluto Awards recognize and expose companies that use underhanded business practices and ambiguous advertising to augment their riches and defraud the American public of billions of dollars each year.

Here is what they had to say about our friends at American Tax Relief:

9. American Tax Relief, of Los Angeles (170 complaints), advertises on their website that they can settle tax debts for a fraction of the debt. Those who owe tax debts pay for the company's services but end up with no tax debt reduction, often no service at all, and unauthorized deductions from their bank account. They may also end up owing more because of interest and penalties, in addition to what they paid the company. This company's relief may be more taxing than the taxes themselves.
