Scam Description
I paid $5000 for “business consulting” and was barely given any of the items that should have been received (website, portfolio, CRM). I was told this was mostly due to my part and although I provided and completed the tasks that was asked of me, I still never received anything that I had paid for. I had accepted this. The worst part was that I was asked by Carl Payne if I wanted to invest in a new company by investing $800 (which I have the bank information on – I never even received a receipt on this) that helps people find federal contracts. I paid and assumed I would be given some kind of information. I DO NOT EVEN KNOW THE NAME OF THIS COMPANY! It has been two years, and I have not received any reports, any information, and when I ask Carl Payne about it, I am completely ignored. I have been trying to reach the company for months and have received no response. I was scammed and even if this report goes no where, I hope it helps others before dealing with this company.
