The Shrifins have already been accused of tax evasion so how hard is to leap that they would do it again where scrutiny is harder. Here's a potental racket:
Rent your house.
Have it cleaned...potentially by a business you have a side interest in.
Pass along the full exaggerated cost of cleaning to the renter.
Then claim the entire cleaning expense for tax purposes.
Does that sound like something someone charged with fraud and tax evasion might try to pull. It's an idea. Let's let the IRS check it out. I'm sure the Shifrins are well on their radar.
Not As Advertised
Dream Home? Nightmare

Gouged and Misrepresented
My friend rented this home at 38 Grey Jay Lane, Breckenridge for a milestone occasion to share with friends. I was one of the guests. My friend rented it because it had a hot tub and full games room, and full chef's kitchen. Not so much. The hot tub didn't work, the pool table cues were broken, the pinball machines didn't work, and chef's kitchen didn't even have oven mitts, serving dishes, or mugs. Then the kicker is that the Shifirins charged $540 for cleaning when the site advertised $399, which is stil high. The Shifrins would not cooperate and would not take responsibility for not providing the amenities and features as advertised.
My friend did not know the owner was the infamous Qilly Shifrin until after the attempt to resolve the payment. These Shifrins are well known for running fraudulent home mortgage companies that bilked many homeowners through misleading ARMS, and they've gotten into the business of moving and storage, and who knows what else. The common theme among all their businesses is ADVERTISED is NOT WHAT YOU GET. Beware...they will defraud you at every attempt.
By the way, their house at 38 Grey Jay Lane is for sale for a paltry $2.3 million. No doubt to pay for the $1 million fine they owe as a result of the Attorney General's findings. If you are thinking of buying this home, read the fine print. They will try something.
Let us know at this blog if you have been taken by the shifty Shifrins. Would be interested in your stories. The more we ensure good people are not defrauded by these unscrupulous "business" owners, the better.
