As an investor who's been actively searching for a business to purchase for the last 2 years, I've learned how to spot them and avoid them. Most savvy, qualified buyers will as well. If you're serious about selling your business don't wast your time with these bafoons.
Yep, I got the same thing. Called late an night and said he had a buyer interested in my business. In his message he didn't refer to my business by its name. Red Flag on that one. Who are these people and why don't they get a real job?
we also got a call "we have an interested party in your business" and if we're interested to call back at 312-242-3640 ext 701 I'm with you people I get enough junk calls, ironically we do want to sell this business
I got this call, and some woman started to say "how does $15 sound...." I dropped an F-bomb and hung up. HEY WEBER. Find another way, man. People hate phone solicitors almost as much as they hate Bernie Madoff.
Barry Adams, Rick Webber, Ty Tymkovich(all of Corporate Acquisitions Group, LLC), and Marvin "Randy" Hicks(PBS + Alliance Acquisitions) are all part of the same scam system.
They offer clients a “100 percent money back guarantee” that they will find qualified buyers for businesses. When clients tried to claim the refund, they deny the claims. Sellers are required to pay a designated fee to the scammers for acting as an intermediary with buyers, a designated sum for hiring an independent firm to prepare a valuation of the business that was being sold, and a fee for successfully matching a seller and a buyer. In order to deny the guaranteed refunds, they provide clients with sham matches. The buyers claim they are qualified but in reality have no interest in purchasing the clients’ businesses.
Marvin Randolph Hicks: One count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, six counts of wire fraud via telephone calls and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.
