US Record Search.com; Bankaccountlocator.com FREDERICK JOSEPH LIED, STOLE, FAILED TO DELIVER, FAILED TO PRODUCE, INSULTED ME, YELLED AT ME, RIPPED ME OFF Pompano Beach , Florida

In anticipation of soon receiving judgment against against a DIFFERENT scammer (!), I came across USRECORDSEARCH.COM who advertised that "THEY" could do an asset search for 1/2 the price of any other place.  I had the soc. sec. # of the defendant, and some possible account numbers.  Mr. Joseph's said that THEY would get me results in a week to three weeks.  He told me "THEY" do searches for Baker Botts...  My mother WORKED for THEM.  He mentioned someone's name there, and I ran the past my mother, who said that sure, she knows him.  SO, I figured this guy FRED is legit. 

I called back with my check information-- "THEY" don't accept credit cards-- (I felt a little uneasy) and he promised that he would get me results within 2 weeks at the MOST.

NEVER heard back from him.  No updates...nothing!!!  IT IS NOW A MONTH LATER! In the meantime, I hired an investigator my attorney provided for me-- cost me $1200 but we located 2 bank accounts so far (including a brokerage account) and another is on the way. 

I Mr. Joseph's TODAY and asked him for the results of the search.  He played dumb and said, "They didn't get back to you???"  I said, "WHO is THEY???"  Indignantly, he said, "The research department."  I said, "No.  Give me their phone number, please."  He said, "There is no number, this IS the research department."   HUH????????  So I asked him to give me the results of the search.  He told me he didn't have them.  I told him it's been a month, and I think he ripped me off.  He YELLED at me and told me that I am CRAZY.

I have a feeling he runs a $25 search on intelius, which is what I have already run to skip trace the defendant. 

I just left a message at the FL Attorney General's office.  I will call Monday. 

It's sad, when you turn to someone to help you find a scammer, and THAT person ends up being a scammer.
