Maxine was contracted on June 17th 2010 to write for my company, WV Writing Services as a solo Freelance writer. On this date, she was informed that if she made over $600, she would be required to by the US law to fill out a W-8 form for tax purposes and would have to submit a TIN or ITIN #. She did fill out one as an individual. However, later in July, she started working for us as a company that she started called WordsTraders, so she was asked to fill out the new form for tax purposes. She made over $3000 under this new paypal address and this new company name and to this date refuses to fill out the proper paperwork for our tax purposes. However, she keeps sending threatening emails and skype messages to us and other staff members. Here latest rant, "On 11/30/2010 9:06 PM, Maxine wrote:

I will expect payment in 2 hours. You do not have any reasons not to pay me.
If payment does not come in, I know who your clients are, I know where my articles are. I will post comments on all of those articles and I will paste your transcripts, including your verbal abuses.
Know that I know how SEO works, and I know how Online Reputation Management works. I will file a complaint to BBB, ripoffreport, ripoffrant, scam.com, complaintsboard.com, pissedconsumer.com.
you name it. you know how difficult it is to get those complaints out of page one of Google. your business will die within weeks. I have nothing to lose, you have. Ill send your transcripts to (blanked out to protect an identity) and all of your other clients. Ill file a complaint to elance, and all the other platforms where you get work from.
No one will ever write for you anymore as soon as they know about your deeds. I will tell all of the Filipino writers not to get work for you. Believe me, that will be the end of your HUGE WVWRITINGSERVICES. You are a cheat, an abusive person. Everyone will know that soon. You are one huge scammer, Michele Walls. And your business will die soon. hey, just so you know, you cannot sue me. ill have you sued. BBB will look into your business. and ill report you to FBI too, for your internet fraud business. You have 2 hours.

All US companies looking for content beware, she will not give you the proper paperwork you will need to file your taxes. Unless you want to go to jail or pay taxes for her, stay away from her and her companies. She operates under several names and several paypal addresses. Her paypal address she uses is not even hers. Who knows who she really is? She has a team of writers and told us she was in CA. Come to find out, she is in the Philippines. On the Internet, she has profiles that say she is in New York, and California. Now she is threatening to post about our company not paying her, let the record be known. We pay all writers who provide the proper paperwork required to work in the US. WV Writing Services grosses over $250, 000 a year and pays taxes like any other US based company. If you write for us and make over $600 a year you will be required to fill out the proper IRS paperwork. If you refuse your pay will be held and sent to the IRS on your behalf as a withheld amount for your taxes with the paperwork were you refused to fill out the required paperwork. Everyone has to pay taxes, and Maxine is not better than all the other people in this world who earns income and pays taxes.
