to respond.
I got involved with Amazing Business Consultants (ABC, Inc.) in October, 2010.
I responded to an online advertisement for an opportunity to sell the Amazing
Business Consultants business credit line program to folks needing capital for
their businesses.
The program promised $200k - $400k credit lines to business owners, even if
they had bad credit. The ABC client upfront fees were low ($3,000 - $6,000)
and ABC, Inc. guaranteed all upfront money if credit funds were not obtained ---
Additionally, ABC, Inc. provided over 25 reference letters from satisfied clients
and lending institutions from over a five year period.
I decided to market it and I sold a total of TWO clients the ABC program, both in
November, 2010.
By late December, 2010 the ABC program was looking like a SCAM. I immediately
returned all upfront money I had gotten as a result of my two clients and I contacted
FBI agent Laura Busbee in the Massachusetts office.
For the past seven months (January July 2011), I have done the following:
-Turned over ALL information to the FBI regarding Amazing Business
Capital, Inc. and the ABC agent I dealt with, John Sacco.
-Gotten ABC to refund a portion of one of my clients upfront money
they had kept.
-Personally repaid a portion of the upfront money from my other client
that John Sacco has kept and has refused to refund.
-Continued to fight ABC and John Sacco for every penny my two clients paid them.
-The last thing I have done is learned is a valuable and painful lesson.
I am embarrassed to have been apart of this ABC scam. Without my knowledge,
ABC and John Sacco, provided me with FAKE client testimonials and fake bank
funding letters. As a result, I did not do full due diligence and investigate the
backgrounds of Amazing Business Consultants or John Sacco on behalf of my
two clients. My clients counted on me to advise them and I let them down,
and for that I was wrong.
I spent three part-time months in the business credit loan industry ---
Unbeknownst to me, three months that I was marketing a fraudulent program.
I deeply regret my involvement.
I have never conducted any business throughout my career in a deceptive,
unethical or illegal manner and I won't start now.
The author of the above complaint, is not and was not ever a client of mine.
At no time did I ever take $10,500, or any money, from him as the complaint
headline suggests. He and I worked together in January, 2011 to try and
discover the truth about the ABC scam and the senior brokers and during
our investigation for the truth we had a disagreement over how to nail these
scammers.
I am in frequent communication with my two clients. And although they wish they
hadn't gotten involved with ABC, they know I continue to be a strong advocate to
get all their money back.
I hope the complaint author and all of the ABC victims recover all of the monies they
paid for the fraudulent ABC program. I will continue to fight for that.
