I received a call from Sid Bronson of First Century Mortgage one day while at work. He stated that he represented a mortgage company and was looking for an exclusive agent in my county for house insurance leads. Once I sent them a check he would give me all the mortgage info on house closings and refinances for all the individuals they were doing business with. The price of the individual leads was 12 dollars which seemed reasonable compared to others I dealt with. Once I sent them a check he promised me that the leads would come an a continual basis and that each month they would automatically withdraw money from my checking account. After a couple of days went by, I never heard from them again. I called several times requesting my leads and each time I was given the runaround.
Finally, I closed my checking account to prevent any further withdrawals and contacted bank security to contest the check I had sent them. I tried to cancel the first check, but it had already been cashed. Funny thing, I work for a national insurance company who has an office in the same building that First Century is alleged to have a business and they are not at that physical address. No doubt, they are a scam!!!
