I was robo-called twice from them. I answered the second call and talked to a lady. She said I was referred to them or they found my name online regarding handyman work. She said the company was a service that matched jobs from banks with local professionals that could do work. She mentioned there could be 2 or 3 jobs a week. After I gave her my zip code she said there was about 5 months worth of work in my area.
In order to work, banks demanded a background check and I gave them some of my information and was directed to a site to enter a "profile" and "register" with my information and skills and type of work. I paid with an AMEX $99 for the background check.
I received a few emails welcoming me, telling me to register, and telling my the background check should be complete. I was to receive work requests the next day. I received an email for three jobs that were not from banks but individuals. After using Google to search the email address and names, I could not locate anyone in my area. I did find the site usacomplaints.com had a previous complaint from a different company with the SAME EXACT EMAIL. It's as follows.
