Company advertises on Craiglist and various other sites stating that after a $99.00 charge to do a background check on you, and that once you pass, you will receive leads from both private and bank sources for contractor and handyman jobs. States it takes about 3 days for this check to be completed (long enough for the charge to clear your bank) and then you will start receiving leads. You do receive leads but you usually never get a response back or they are usually filled long before you have a chance to even respond. If you try to contact the website to find out any information you are sent an auto-reply e-mail referring you back to the FAQ which give you a very, very limited amount of answers. If you call, you will never speak to anyone, just a voice mail stating to leave a message or to contact them via e-mail either to a Sarah White or a JOEL BECKER. Mr. Becker responds with e-mails stating "Hi, feel free to intimidate us" or "Hi, you intimidate me" which leads you right back to the place you started. The BBB has a 2 page list of complaints dating back to January of 2009. Also, if you request a copy of your background check from InquestServices.com, Mr. Becker is the one that e-mails you to tell you to request a copy from Inquest Services. If you do receive a copy of a background check it is not on you, but someone else.DO NOT DO ANY SORT OF TRANSACTION WITH THIS BUSINESS! CHECK THEM OUT WITH THE BBB IF YOU QUESTION THIS AND YOU WILL SEE THIS IS ALL TRUE.

I would better appreciate both of your concerns, but my point of view is slightly different as every one of us have good or bitter experiences in our lives...so may be there is something that we could negotiate with the right party instead of complaining about them.

SME CONTRACTOR You are an idiot! Of course you will receive a call back when you are "signing up" that's how they get your money. Then wait for the leads to come in and you will find they lead you nowhere. Then try to contact them in the time frame that you specified. You will receive a voicemail ALWAYS that tells you to contact "Sara White". No matter how you spell her name that will generate e-mails stating that she is "unavailable". Then contact "JOEL BECKER" via e-mail and you will receive e-mails that tell you to go to the website's FAQ's part that will also LEAD YOU NOWHERE. Then contact JOEL BECKER via e-mail directly and you will go around and around in circles. THEN request a copy of your background check that you spent money on and you will get another run around the circle moment. If you do receive a copy of the background check IT WON'T BE ON YOU!!! Now before you post anything else try all of the above and then contact the BBB online and you will see JUST HOW FOOLISH YOU HAVE BEEN POSTING THAT! BY THE WAY I GOT MY MONEY BACK BECAUSE I FILED WITH MY BANK A COMPLAINT AND THE BBB AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MY STATE. IT WASN'T A "BITTER MOMENT IT WAS A SCAM"!!!

I was contacted by them also. I stated on my Craigslist no emails as they have all been scam contacts and they still contacted. I called and it smelled bad of scam. I even pollitely called them on the possibility and they hung up on me. Got another email and called as I was desperated and hoping it was real. Then I found this site. Luckily I do not have $99. to even give them to even think about it out of desperation. Besides, who pays you more than $100 an hour for 2-3 hour jobs without even asking me for work history references.
How do we stop them from stealing from others.
PS. I wonder if SME is an affiliate of the company to try to prolong their scam???
