Admins really need to review "claims" people make on the site and also review who they truly are..... Unfortunately too many come to DF and claim they cannot

Thanks. What past history would you suggest be the deciding factor that someone can't do what they are claiming they can? That would describe half the people on here.

Using a different name is a weakness of the marketplace, not the forum. Anyone can stop using an LLC and start using a new one. Without cohesive licensing requirements, anyone can just decide to be whatever they want under any name they want under whatever website they want and whatever email they want. What your company is named and what kind of deals you do is often times a state of mind and belief rather than a legal standing and classification. That is unfortunately the way it is.

If any user is just sending their deals to just some random person on a forum, they are doing it wrong.

Kevin's last piece of advice is solid:
Know you customers.
Know your funding sources.
Know your referral partners.

You should heavily investigate anyone you send deals to.
