Intercepted a call from these people at my elderly mom's home yesterday. They said we had requested information, too. I was polite and listened to their entire pitch because Mom has been getting lots of scammer calls lately. I am certain this was just another call aimed at taking advantage of our most vulnerable adults. They became very rude when their stock answers couldn't answer my questions, and eventually they hung up on me, but not before giving me their contact info. I called back and told them not to EVER use her phone number again! The moral to this sad story that is getting more and more common: Folks, if it seems too good to be true, it is! There's no easy way out of financial problems, and there's certainly no free paychecks. I do understand how easy it would be to get scammed by these guys. They sound so professional as long as you don't ask too many questions they can't answer. They apparently have at least 3 or 4 men in their office and a professionally produced recording and sample website. It's sad they don't use their talent and training for something worthwhile instead of stealing people's money. Unfortunately, if you are reading this, you've likely already had experience with them. Do whatever you can to minimize the damage. My thoughts are with you. Please don't let them take any more of your money. Like you, I wish we could stop people like this, but there's always going to be someone out there trying to take advantage of our seniors and anyone else they can scam. Guard your hard-earned money!
