He told me to meet him in a hotel and to bring cash. I am not comfortable doing that.

If he owns 3 companies like he says, why can't I meet at his office and why doesn't he take checks or credit cards. I feel this must be a scam. He sounds good on the phone and makes me feel that he is for real but he should be able to take a credit card or a check.

If I give him the cash and leave then I have no recourse and no proof. I would need to pay with a check or credit card so that I can get a receipt.

Reason of review: Not as described/ advertised.

Location: Fairfax, Virginia

This is concerning to hear, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. You did the right thing by not going to the hotel and giving him cash.

Please contact us at 1-800-343-1710 so we can look into this.

We definitely do not want any scammers on our site.

We look forward to speaking with you.
