Memphis, TN (abc24.com)- Mo' Money is saying no more. The embattled tax service company says after receiving death threats, and countless angry customers, it will no longer be handing out tax refund checks.

Instead, Mo' Money co-founder Markey Granberry says the company's California-based bank will mail the checks directly to customers. Granberry says the Internal Revenue Service is now dealing exclusively with Mo' Money's bank to mail those checks.

Scott Free says no one told him the check was in the mail. As he stood outside the Mo' Money office in Southaven, MS, he pulled out his phone to show how he called Mo' Money 19 times Monday, to learn the status of his return.

"It started out, the 20th she give us the return, the 27th the return, the 3rd return, then the 10th the return," Free said. "Now it's the 17th the return, we've got so many dates from this lady my calendar is marked plum full, just for this place."

Free's wife Carolyn looked through the windows into the dark office.

"I want to see if they cleaned the building out because, they just give us the run-around."

Natalie Jones soon joined the couple. Jones has been coming by the office for more than a week, trying to figure out when she'll get her refund check.

"Every time you come, this is what you get, nothing, door's closed," Jones said as she pulled on the locked door.

"It is no hard feelings against nobody, no threats like they said on the door, none of that, not from me, i just want my money" she said.

Well duhhhhh...their business name is 'Mo Money'...like seriously, what did these customers expect? Places like Mo Money make a kiing every year on dumb, yes I said dumb people who like to pay people to read for them. Again, dumb. Most people I know, when I ask why are they paying someone to file their taxes, say "I don't know nuthin' bout that kinda stuff'...Wow.....its called reading the question and entering an answer. I am black, and I am not being racists, but you don't see "Mo Money' or any other ghetto outfit advertising in Germantown or Bartlett. Why? Education.

The entire "Mo Money" tax service is a joke. I went to them in 2010 and they entered all of my information incorrectly, refused to give my original documents back, and I ended up owing the IRS. When they changed their name to Money Co, it was too late to sue them. I wouldn't send my worst enemy to "Mo Money". They don't stand behind their service.

What about "Americans" who can't speak English? Are they covered in the oath?

Oh, and any idiot that actually goes to a place like Mo' Money deserves what comes to them. I only wonder if they planned on taking their Mo' Money over to It's All Good and picking up the rides of their dreams?

ToughSkin You took the oath to die for ALL Americans, whether you like what they believe in or not. I took the same oath 15 years ago.

I am in the business so I have followed this story with interest. Last year the had problems with high fees. Unethical but not illegal. This year they crossed the line. Not sure why anyone would use this service.

Who talks like that? Your comment is ignorant. As a SOLDIER, it bothers me to know that I can possibly die for your freedom to make dumb remarks. If I perhaps die in the combat zone, know I did not do it for you, but of for the real American that values our basic rights.
