**I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE A LOT TO READ, BUT IT COULD SAVE YOU THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS!!**
I hate to admit this, but I am a former employee of Audit Recovery Systems (ARS). When I was first hired by this company I thought I was going to be helping people recover money from scam companies. But it only took a short amount of time for me to discover that I had actually been hired by a SCAM COMPANY. This company contacts mostly the elderly claiming they can recover money for them that has been taken by dishonest listing companies. ARS in fact will get money back on your card, but it will only be a temporary credit.  After a couple of weeks, then the credit card company will reverse it. The credit card company will always unfortunately favor these dishonest listing companies, because these companies bring in millions of dollars, and the credit card companies get a percentage of that, so when they give you your money back, they are losing money also. The owners constanly told their employees to not worry about the permanent credits, to just focus on the temporary credits. ANy company that claims they can get money back for you is lying because all they will do is get that temporary credit. ARS gets the temporary credit, then they will charge their 50%, then the credit you had WILL BE reversed and you will be out the 1st amount and then also the 50%. Recently this company was shut down by the department of agriculture for operating illegally without a telemarketing license. Unfortunately for us its only temporary. They have paid their fees and as soon as they get their license will be opening back up. I have heard rumors from an inside source that they might be opening back up under the name AUDIT RECOVERY PROS. But I assure you, they can change their name, they can change location, but if the same creeps are running this company it will ALWAYS BE A SCAM. Barry Rothberg, J Rothberg (ALSO GOES BY A FAKE NAME PAUL SIMON), Alan Niskar, and Wayne Krebs are the owners. Also there is an employee who is the niece of Barry and she goes by miltiple names. Jennifer Veazey, Jennifer Rosenberg, Ilene Rosenberg, Ilene Rothberg, Ilene Veazey. She brings in more money for the company then all the other employees combined. That means she scams more money from people then all the other employees combined. The next few examples are simply to show you what kind of people you would be doing business with. All of the owners do drugs in the office and with some of the employees. J Rothberg (owner) asked some of the employees to break a federal law, and when they refused, he kicked their office door in (putting a hole through the door) coming in screaming and throwing things. Also J has been known to chase a former employee out of the office trying to hit him with a baseball bat.
Working for this company was the biggest mistake of my life! So by writing this I am hoping to right some wrongs. DO NOT WORK WITH THIS COMPANY!!!! My best advice to forget about the money you have already lost. Dont take a chance of losing MORE money. Always read things before you sign it, if you have questions get a second opinion from someone you trust and you know cares about you.

All Bulls**t-Read On

AUTHOR: audit - (United States of America)

POSTED: Thursday, May 19, 2011

I am tired of responding to baseless accusations. Audit Recovery Systems has been in business 3 years and has treated our employees and our clients with the upmost care and respect. We guarantee everything we do and live up to that promise.

Unfortunately we are in South Florida, a wonderful place to live but it is the home of fraudulent telemarketing scumbags that have nothing better to do then to disparage us.
ARS is a great company; we have great employees and do good work.
We are available to accept your telephone calls and dispel any concerns that you may have.

AS far as the BBB we did have an A rating but refused to pay the $400 some odd dollars to become a member so they dropped our rating. The BBB is another South Florida scam extorting money for ratings.

As far as the Rippoff Report, anyone can anonymously smear your good name. Rippoff Report and Wiki Leaks should be a party to libel suits.

We are tired of dealing with this crap and will go on doing our business in a professional manner

Sincerely,

Fed Up-Get a Life

This is still going on?

AUTHOR: JMR Big Baffoon - (United States of America)

POSTED: Thursday, April 21, 2011

It is hard to believe that this is still going on. I decided to revisit this subject when I found Wayne Krebs' post on Craig's List in what appears to be a half-baked, and I mean drug induced attempt to attract new employees with yet another new "business". http://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/sls/2336215628.html

Now let me state that all of the negative things posted here are true. All other attempts to rebut
are coming from the band of thieves that run the place, and they are the only ones who really care what is written about them. I am surprised that this enterprise is still operational. I am not sure if the other half-baked idea of Senior Concierge is still kicking. And now they are starting up another. Now if you are really interested in the history, go to sunbiz.org and search for Allen Niskar, or Niskar Allen, Wayne Krebs (probably son of Maynard G), J M Rothberg and Barry Rothberg and total up the number of failed businesses they have all been in singularly and together. All dismantled under mysterious circumstances. Now keep in mind too that JM started way back when telemarketing time share scams and got people to buy that crap. Then went into the business of taking the same people again with a scam to try to sell the time shares for them. And now with ARS to go after the same people again to get the money back (you know the rest of the story).

Now they do have an excellent business plan that protects them (maybe), but can easily put the blame on the contracted agents that do their dirty work. If something goes badly, it is the agents fault for taking matters into his or hers own hands to get results by any means possible. They will claim that what was done is not, has not, and never will be their policy. But yet their expectations to steal from innocent victims is strongly implied, if not directly ordered well away from any means of incrimination. These agents have no formal training in what might appear to be an official position. Just failed telemarketers looking for a fast buck, for the most part. But, they are stealing money from your grandparents and parents, and mainly from the Heartland where they seem to be the most gullible. But they generally do not take it from their own kind out of New York, New Jersy, Connecticut, etc.

Well now, don't I feel better?

The bottom line is, do not buy crap over the phone and give out your CC number, otherwise thieves like these will take your money. And if you work for a place like that and know what it is, why stay there for months and then cry foul (fowl)?

Money Back Guarantee?!? Where?!?!?

AUTHOR: Kathy - (United States of America)

POSTED: Sunday, April 10, 2011

My hat is off to someone brave enough to file a bad report on a bad employer and a bad company.

 Wayne, you say that ARS has a 100% money back guarantee. If this is true then why can't I get my money back? When I asked for my money back all I got was an angry tirade from Barry aka Paul.

If you are a good person and your business is what you say it is then give me my money back. Prove that ARS is not a bad company run by bad people.

Audit Recovery Systems follows Best Practices

AUTHOR: Wayne411 - (USA)

POSTED: Tuesday, March 15, 2011

Audit Recovery Systems, Inc.  Continues to dominate as a market leader advocating for victims Boca Raton, Florida
 
Audit Recovery Systems continues to lead the market in best practices.  Audit Recovery Systems realizes that when an industry such as timeshare resale companies, recovery companies, and the "attorney's" who charge advance fees to provide limited at best to no service whatsoever are ALL criminals looking to continually victimize timeshare owners. 

Audit Recovery Systems was the first to advocate for victims of this predatory market and does not and will not ever sacrifice our integrity by responding to baseless claims that are directly targeted to further confuse clients.  Audit Recovery Systems "Best Practices Policy" is the only company that ensures a true 100% Money Back Guarantee.  Audit Recovery Systems, does not hide behind ambiguous words, phrases, or anything that would interfere with the integrity of our work. 

Audit Recovery Systems continues to strive for excellence with our Policy & Procedures.  Our Security Department is dedicated to ensuring that client's information is protected, well beyond a unique identiying passcode that only our client is given but a complete bubble of protection, at no charge, to stop the pattern of victimization.

Audit Recovery Systems is very aware of new scams that continue to plague the timeshare owners.  These so called "legal groups" that are nothing more then boiler room operations that refer business out to select attorneys' will do absolutely nothing to protect you and will only steal your money.  READ THEIR CONTRACT, they will not pre-litigate nor litigate, but will happily charge you an upfront fee for a percentage of what they will only review and perhaps send a letter on your behalf.  They base the percentage on the total amount of money that was taken from you by these fraudulent companies, unfortunately, most of these companies are already out of business and it beyond the timeframe of which banking regulations would be suitable.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GIVE OUT ANY CREDIT CARD INFORMATION.  THEY WILL CHARGE YOUR CARD AND DO ABSOULUTELY NOTHING TO RECOVER YOUR FUNDS AND FURTHER CAUSE YOU HARM.

Call Audit Recovery Systems immediately if you are contacted by one of these predators that want a retainer or percentage of your stolen money.  Your assistance in identifying these persons will help the proper authorities prosecute these deceptive wrong doers.

Remember, Audit Recovery Systems does not give information and will never ask for your passcode.  If you are contacted by our office , always ask for your unique passcode, even if you recognize the number and voice.  Our clients have made us aware that they have been contacted by persons pretending to be from our company and have attempted to scam more money.  "Our Best Practices Policy" ensure that when our work is complete we contact our client and never charge without an second level authorization.  ARS will bill you for services rendered and never charge you without express written authorization. 

Audit Recovery Systems works hard to earn our money and continually strives to serve our clients with best practice guarantees.  We will continue to operate with integrity, respect, passion, and compassion.

Same Report Was Filed by the Same Ex-Employee Before

AUTHOR: audit - (United States of America)

POSTED: Monday, March 14, 2011

This report is a total lie. This same exact report was filed about 6 months ago by the same ex-employee.

This website is basicly the same as Wiki Leaks. Anyone can file a report slandering anyone with no recourse and without having to sign their name to it.

It should be against the law for Rippoff to post this let alone the idiot that wrote it.
I assure you that there is no truth to this.

Audit Recovery Systems Scam Investigation

AUTHOR: Audit Recovery Systems Timeshare Sc - (United States of America)

POSTED: Tuesday, March 08, 2011

In response to "The Disgruntled Employee" above, Yes her information is 100% True but here is the truth about AUDIT RECOVERY SYSTEMS.  First and Foremost READ their agreement it clearly states they charge you on "Temporary Credits" and "Provisional Credits" which are credits to your account that anyone can get 99% of all temporary credits and provisional credits are reversed back to the merchant(its the truth call your credit card company).

You will be out not only all the money you lost from the resale scams but also another 50% that will be charged to your account if you pay Audit Recovery Systems.

Check out the BBB.Org report on Audit Recovery Systems (if their so great, why so many complaints_

They were raided by the department of agriculture and shut down due to deceptive business practices and operating without a business license.

The office environment at Audit Recovery Systems is plagued by drugs from both management down to the telemarketers, probably the worst in any office but its a scam so what could you expect.

Barry Rothberg, Allan Niskar, Wayne Krebs and "Paul Simon" are considered owners of the company, i have numerous reports from former employees of Severe drug use in office, sexual harassment to the point 3 girls left in the same day after being brutally attacked by Barry Rothberg's Son "Paul Simon" after refusing his advances, he chased them in their office and tried to bash the door down until he was physically restrained and the 3 girls left in tears (legal proceedings are underway).

I would hate to see anyone else scammed by this unlicensed group of scam artists. 
please stay away and repost this message on any message board regarding timeshares, lets show these scam artists their days are over.

Thank You,

Anyone Can Smear Your Good Name

AUTHOR: audit - (United States of America)

POSTED: Wednesday, February 09, 2011

 

It is amazing to see such a complaint from a former employee that was not only paid for performance but paid for non-performance, poor time management and plentiful sick days. This employee was given money out of my pocket personally as loans to repair his automobile, pay his electric bills, and so on.  

Our ethics are beyond reproach, many employees and executives from other companies admire the professional manner in which we conduct ourselves. The accusations are blatantly untrue.  I understand that some people can't be pleased. We always strive to do better and try to keep the wow factor in our customer service. 

My apologies for his hostility,

Kimberly Gilham who wrote this report should be ashamed of herself. The principals of Audit Recovery Systems have been getting refunds for individuals and fortune 500 company's for over 20 years.

EverythingARS doesis transparent and above board. Kimberly was dismissed for cause and this is her way of getting back at a company that had treated her very well.

I'm sure her next report will be about her new employer, whomever that unfortunate company is.

You Never Addressed the Accusations

AUTHOR: thewarpig - (USA)

POSTED: Monday, October 18, 2010

The "Owner" never so much as mentioned the multiple accusations in the report. That is more than just a little bit troublesome as the OP calls out specific people committing specific actions and the rebuttal shows absolutely no outrage at the alleged behavior.

This is one of those cases where you were better off just letting people think you're a dumba$$. Now you've gone and proved it.

Kimberly, sorry you have the need to bite the hand that fed you

AUTHOR: audit - (United States of America)

POSTED: Monday, October 18, 2010

Kimberly,

 

When you write derogatory post and sign it "secret" it would be smart not to send it from a very small town, Alabaster, Alabama the same day you sent me an e-mail from that location. Audit Recovery Systems has treated you very well and I'm so dissappointed that you chose to slander us rather then just say thank you for treating me like a valued employee, paying me for all the personal time I have taken off and for forwarding my check to Alabaster.

Shame on you Kimberly. Feel free to use us as a reference.
