Received call after hours on answering machine about selling my business. Odd that a ligit broker would call after business hours (first red flag). Sounded like a recorded message (second red flag). Googled the name of HDI Consultants and the phone number & came across all of you! (third red flag). Sounds like a scam, probably is a scam. I will not be returning the phone call. Phone number he left was 908-444-9671 with a name of Jim Carwell in the beginning and Jim Caraway at the end of the message (fourth red flag). Thanks to all for taking the time to post your experiences.
Received a message on my answering machine regarding selling my business.
After research learned this company is probably most interested in selling you a 'price analysis' report. From what I understand this report is a few thousand dollars. I suppose they hook a few people with this angle. What their doing isn't probably really illegal although the tactic seems borderline bait and switch. HDI is an accredited BBB member, but anyone who owns a business knows if you send the BBB 150 bucks a year, you can be "accredited" and then as long as nobody files a complaint that you don't resolve they leave you A+ rated and charge another 150 the next year.
If you want to read more info look at phone number 646-873-6851 and 908-997-0070

HDI Consulting, Arsis Advisory Group, Bridgepoint Business Advisers, and Bizbuy123.com are all part of an integrated scam system, and just part of the many sock puppet business entities created by Ty Tymkovich, Sam Levine, David Silverman, and Justin Davis.

Received an after hours call from Jim Carwell with HDI Consulting informing me that an entity was interesting in purchasing my business. Searched the number which led me here. Thank you Michael Hand and Jim Kilroy for the insightful information.
