=============================
I can not beleieve tht HUD would back such a SCAM?Is there no government oversight to regulate this?

JMW claimed that I would be working for HUD and reciving checks from the government.
Then I read this....

HUD will only pay a refund to the legal recipient - not to the tracer.
This means tracers must attempt to collect their "fees" AFTER the recipient has received the money from HUD.
http://usgovinfo.about.com/library/weekly/aa040101a.htm

I was told when i signed up there was a money back garuntee, if i did not like it for any reason.
The website does not provide conditions to the refund....
http://www.jmwfinancial.com/index.asp

After asking for the refund, i was told i had to provide proof of atleast 30 returned letters. I did not recieve 30 returned letters. I am not in control of who throws the letter in the trash, instead of properly returning it to me.

I was asked to wait 90 days for the refund (which i did)
In response, they told me i did not send in 30 returned letters and i would NOT be granted a refund.


THE BBB doesnt seem to think they are legit...
JMW Financial Services contacted a local consumer with an offer to make money by locating former HUD/FHA homeowners who may have funds due them from government backed mortgages that they have paid off. The company is
selling information which is available free through any state�s unclaimed funds office. The BBB suggests using extreme caution when responding to any such offer. While the offer may claim high earnings and short hours with little or no experience, Bureau files nationwide
indicated no evidence of anyone making the promised money. This company has an unsatisfactory record with the BBB.

John Chin, a refund administrator for HUD, said the number of successful tracings by people like Morgan, who enrolled in the program but was unable to locate many of the people on the list she was given, have declined by more than 80 percent.
"They're not going to find many homeowners who are owed refunds," Chin said. "They're probably not going to find anybody because the list is picked over."
HUD officials say if the agency owes someone a refund and can't find the person, their own set of federally sanctioned tracers will eventually do the job for free.
Brian Noyes is a regional director for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the federal agency that tracers hired by JMW are supposed to be assisting.
Noyes suspects few tracers succeed, and he's not sure officials at JMW care. "Their genuine interest is how many people will buy this $98 package that they're trying to sell," he said. The company offers a 90-day
money-back guarantee to dissatisfied customers. Wright said 25 percent of those who enroll in the plan and then decide to request a refund receive it.
Officials at the Better Business Bureau said they have compiled a lengthy file of complaints about JMW.
"They have an unsatisfactory record due to a pattern of complaints," said Carrie Morgan, a bureau vice president. "Virtually no people get the money that they're promised in this type of scheme."
