SCAM
We done a google search to find fast funding for our start-up restaurant in Oct. 09 and discovered this website. Upon first phone contact with a guy named Chris we told him of our shaky credit situation and he was not concerned and only boasted of their success rate and ask us how much we were seeking in funding. Upon QUALIFYING (A HEARTBEAT IT SEEMS IS ALL THAT'S NEEDED) we were put in touch with a final qualifying phone interview and it sounded so professional, especially after we searched the BBB and didn't see any derogatory complaints with Funding Partners. So we paid the 3300.00 dollars to have them secure our funding and was told then that we would be scheduled weekly with a COACH! and that our payment was eligible for an education or tuition tax deduction.When we recived our on-line reciept we noticed that the money went to a company called MOMENTUM MARKETING!! Draper Utah, What was this?. When we searched the BBB again we noticed their were several negative issues with this company, we knew we were in trouble. And so, we never recieved any literature of any kind ever, except for the reciept. We tried getting a refund and was told the 3 day recension had passed, so we tried the coaching for awhile and the advice we got was months of internet searches for grants and seed money investors, no bus. plan education, grant writing, SBA teachings or critiques, all of this we could have done for free.We were never directed towards a financial institution nor any lending source only Grants (free money) or non-profits.Can't get a person to talk to only the runaround to date.Will be filing a complaint with the Utah Division of Consumer Complaints soon!! I won't hold my breath. We are now in foreclosure and have exhausted our savings. My wife is on medication and the death of my father has worsened her situation. Heartbroke in Indiana.
