$500 for $25,000 Line of Credit: How these people are scamming you


Don't fall for it!
Look, if it seems too good to be true, 99% of the time, IT IS!

Alright guys I want to talk about something that is seriously concerning me!.   I received a few phone calls from prospective clients lately who have all told me 
 they want to know what my opinion is regarding some of the ads they saw on Craigslist. I really want to warn you guys about companies or entities like this out there who only want to steal your money. This gentleman told me that he stayed on the phone with someone at this company for 2 hours before the guy told him that it would cost $400 up front for a credit sweep and $500 upfront to receive $25,000 on a credit card. I'm not talking about a trade line that just posts on your file credit. I'm talking about a literal line of credit  that he would be able to use as he feels fit. Now,  do you see what's wrong with this picture here?.  You're going to pay $500 and receive $25,000 in return? Come on guys,  rocket science here. What I really want you guys to think about is that when you see something that is too good to be true 99% of the time it is! 


I've seen the ads all over the place on Craigslist. I used to spend 10 to 20 hours a week posting my own ads before I hire someone to do it for me so that I can spend all my time working on client files. Point being, I saw many advertisements that were very similar to this.  You know the one, where you pay a small upfront fee or maybe not even small, anywhere between $500 to $5,000 and you received an extraordinary amount either in as a cash loan or line of credit. 

 I just want you guys to you really think about how you spend your money and how much its worth to you. How do you think this guy accept payments?  Western Union? MoneyGram? GreenDot? Yes to all of those! You think that they accept debit and credit cards? Heck no! If they did, you would be able to charge back. He also said that this company only had one complaint with the BBB.   I also told him that many people do not make complaints with the BBB..   What they do is they post reviews online or with ripoffreport.com.  I let him know how he can search on that website for this company and find out whether they've been scamming people. I would bet a lot of money that the company is listed on there. 


The point of all this, is that I just want you guys to be smart. If you have any questions or you need some advice I am always here to help you..

Tips for my brokers; Craigslist, Facebook, websites, advertising and more!

I work 90% with brokers, 10% with clients, and I actually prefer to work with brokers, as I have contact with only one person instead of 300 clients. So considering there are 528 of you brokers, I figured that I would post some tips and tricks for my brokers. I will break it down into sections to make it easier reading, and if you have any questions, comments or suggestions, let me know! Advertising Advertising can be a serious pain in the butt, and it is utterly necessary for a business like this one. I will give you a couple of suggestions that work for me. I am mostly just word of mouth now and do not need to advertise, as I have thousands of clients, but there are days when I do put my business out there again for new clients. Craigslist It is quite difficult to advertise with CL now, but there are tons of ways to get around being flagged or to prevent it from happening. CL is the 4th most visited site in the  world , so that right there should tell you that you need...

3 Resons why you should wait to apply for new credit

Applying for new credit before all derogatory items are deleted: My advice to my clients is always the same: wait until you're done with your credit repair or credit sweep program, but have a strategy to move forward from there. Here's a few reasons why: #1 you may be denied if you still have 1-2 items remaning and will end up with new inquiries that will drop your score #2 it may hinder the process of removing the last few items and can add 1-3 months to the timeframe #3 you may be approved with a very low limit and would have to wait 3-5 months prior to requesting an increase. In comparison, you can wait til everything has been completed and obtain a higher limit right off the bat. Here's a real-life example: I have a client would only has 4/86 negative items remaining and he wanted to move forward with his mortgage. I advised him to wait because (see #1) it would add inquiries and he may not be approved. He'd mentioned tha...
