NEW YORK, March 17, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Parker & Waichman, LLP announces that it has launched an investigation into possible consumer fraud violations related to Express IRAs sold by H&R Block (NYSE:HRB). Earlier this week, Eliot Spitzer, the New York State Attorney General, filed a civil suit against H&R Block. The suit alleged that H&R Block advised approximately 500,000 tax return customers to invest in individual retirement accounts but that it failed to disclose hidden fees that in many cases surpassed the interest earned on the accounts. The New York State suit alleges that as many as 85 percent of H&R Block customers who invested in Express IRAs actually lost money.
