    Sleazebags in our Industry

    Just got a robo call from a "Merchant Funding Group" promising me $250k so out of curiosity I hit "1" and spoke with Miguel. He identified himself as being with "Merchant Funding Group". I listened to his pitch for a moment and stated that I wanted him to take me off the call list.

    His answer was that was not his job and he hung up on me.

    When I tried dialing back the number (667-206-7042) I got a recording saying it was not in service so they are cloaking it somehow.

    If anyone has any idea who these sleazebags are (and anyone else like them) I would go out of my way to shut them down.

    There are a lot of hard working, honest people in this industry, many of whom I have met through DF.

    The sleazy ones give us all a bad name and contribute to the nasty reputation our industry gets. Only bad can come from it.

    Best,

    why waste your time shutting this operations down? Another just pops up. And no amount of regulation will keep any industry clean.. The government itself cannot keep itself clean and people want them to help the little guys?
    Self protection, lots of due diligence, and a good network of people you trust have always been the best

    As long as lenders continue to make anyone with a heartbeat an ISO, this will continue to happen. There is nothing you can do about it.

    Once again, the lottery picked out 3 random names for a Cash Advance company
