Business Opportunity Scam
I got a call last Friday about my new business I just started up this month. He wanted to know if I would be interested in a business opportunity and what it requires. Said he would send me an email explaining,
which I pasted below.
Had a bad feeling and did some checking around and called AZ BBB. The nice lady said its more likely was a scam.
The website http://solutionrealstate.com had no physical address and the fill in blanks were in Spanish. The guy that called me was also Spanish and had a 505 area code number and the contractor was a 707 area code. Beware!! They almost had me. Punctuation, spelling and consistency plays a key role when writing up a business email!!

The benefits of using a Real Estate professional:
Some of the benefits of using an agent, Broker, or Realtor is they have access to the Multiple Listing System (Multiple Listing System , MLS) . The MLS is the electronic list of all properties that are represented by an agent. By accessing the MLS through its agent, it gives you a complete picture of houses available within your range or area in which you can work them. In order to give our real estate professionals the leg up that they need in a crowded industry, Solution Real State was created to feature individual agents and brokers. Consumers who visit the http://solutionrealstate.com view you as the go-to resource for your city and you are the only real estate professional or (Contractor), who receives referrals for your city. In other words, the Jobs in your local area will be sent to you only! The real estate professionals can learn about available homes in the area, which are not being actively publicized. They also have the time to research the local market, Make appointments for you to see these homes …all things for which you may not have the time for or do not want for yourself.
They will prepare and handle all the paperwork in relation to appointments guaranteed by our partners. They act as your "mediators", during negotiations. The negotiations are flexible: not just about negotiating prices, but also contingencies / terms , dates and early work periods as to delivery of available properties . They can help determine the true value of the cost of each project and or give an estimate but ultimately the negotiations will be concluded between the property owner and the subcontractor. Now comes the part that you surely will like . We get the quote and the broker pays you , we do not charge for appointments or work commitments you make .
All Brokers are obligated through our exclusive contract that they must advance the contractor 50% upfront and the remaining 50% upon completion of the project available. Any materials needed by the subcontractor to realize these projects will be at the Broker´s expense.
