This scam operation was started on 04/01/09 (April fools day) and is operated by con man Frank Cardell. His convicted con man pal James Barschow is head of insurance operations. This is a classic pyramid scheme that lures distributors to the company with promises of huge earnings for selling products to senior citizens who have Medicare and other insurances. To date (6/30/09) very few products have ever been shipped and even fewer distributors paid. The people at the top of the pyramid continue to promote this "unbelievable" plan to unsuspecting distributors looking to make a quick buck. Visit www.bcmsdirect.com to see who these people are. The company is bilking the Medicare system and the people who are attempting to help other seniors. If you have been involved with this scam operation please do not hesitate to contact the appropriate authorities and post your experience. This convicted con man actually uses con.[protected]@verizon.net as his email address!
You have confirmed everything I have been hearing about this scam.
Frank, you have confirmed everything I have been hearing about this scam. I hope more people add to my post as they learn more about you and your co-CONspirators.
UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Litigation Release No. 16387 / December 13, 1999
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION v. FUTURE VISION DIRECT MARKETING, INC., et al., Civil Action No. 96-2107 (NHP) (D.N.J. Dec. 3, 1999)
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") today announced that, on December 3, 1999, Judge Nicholas H. Politan of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey granted the Commission's motion for summary judgment and entered final judgments of permanent injunction and other relief against defendants Ronald H. Michel, Stephen Regen, William Richard Horne, Daniel Kelly, Joseph Glenski, James Barschow, and Frank Cardell. Michel, Regen, Horne, and Kelly promoted, and Glenski, Barschow, and Cardell telemarketed, two fraudulent schemes to sell to the public unregistered securities in companies that purportedly were to develop and operate wireless cable television systems in Tennessee and Washington State.
The Court ordered defendants Michel, Regen, Horne, and Kelly to disgorge, jointly and severally, $13, 137, 813.11, representing their unlawful profits from the fraudulent sale of investments in both schemes. The Court further ordered Michel, Horne, and Kelly each to pay a $500, 000 civil penalty, and Regen to pay a $250, 000 civil penalty. The Court also barred Michel, Horne, and Kelly from serving as officers or directors of any public company.
The Court ordered defendants Glenski and Barschow to disgorge, jointly and severally with defendant Bruce Schroeder (against whom the Commission obtained a default judgment in July 1999), $4, 209, 827.23, representing their unlawful profits from the frauds and ordered Glenski and Barschow each to pay a $500, 000 civil penalty. Cardell was ordered to disgorge $48, 075 in illicit profits and pay a $250, 000 civil penalty.
The Court permanently enjoined each of the defendants from future violations of the antifraud provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 17(a), and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. In addition, the Court enjoined all of the defendants except Regen from future violations of the securities registration provisions, Securities Act Sections 5(a) and 5(c), and the broker-dealer registration provisions, Exchange Act Section 15(c).
The Commission's action is still pending with respect to three corporate defendants, as well as relief defendant Bellette Hoffman.
The Commission wishes to acknowledge the assistance of the Office of the United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey and the Federal Bureau of Investigation during the investigation of this matter.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Well there is no dispute regarding the 1999 SEC, but that may be in question as well. Don't know the whole story. As far as the actual complaint goes, it is so totally wet in the terms used, that it does not warrant my discussion.
Rubbish! You were obviously incompetent as an independent agent and impatient without question. Did you not know how long Medicare takes to finalise claims? This business apparently began the middle of April and by the time anyone would have had orders submitted at a time when everything wasn't fully functional, and you're expecting your orders to be finalized and monies paid by the time you aired your vicious attack on Frank Cardell. This implies you've been promising your clients delivery in say 4 weeks or so. What a scam you committed on your clients. It's always best to be honest and tell them eight weeks and possibly more, and that's of course if you submitted your orders without errors. You get paid after delivery not before. It would have to be the same even if you were the CEO of this business. That God you're not. It's about high time you had a good look in the mirror at yourself. Because you didn't make a lot of money you've come to the conclusion that no one can. You can't for sure, but others can if they put the senior population first, do the right thing by them in an honest way, and by those they recruit into their team. That means teaching them how to do what's required precisely in the right way. If you're self motivated, organized and put in the time and effort you can in fact find it lucrative. No one on a team wants their leader to be incompetent. For the sake of at least some of those that you brought into this business, they will wake up to you and continue to build a future amonst their senior population.
I totally agree with happy Agent. Duped is someone who brought these problems on themselves. The other thing is that the person who posted the complaint is probably preparing to go into direct competition with Bestcare. What they have done ( duped has done) shows a total lack of integrity and any moral fortitude. Why did they choose to remain anonymous ?
The only thing that is a scam is this site. It is too easy to post complaints that are unmerited. I looked under latest complaints and saw that Walmart is a scam because they changed the size of their ice cream container. What einstein would make a post like that ?
Fools are born every day! I poured me heart out inthe hopesof making a little more money for my family. I was notlooking to make a lot of money. I even signed up 2 friends and helped them. We have never been paid anything for the work we dd over 2 months ago! and I do not no of anyone who has been paid. I left my business cards and have customers calling me about not getting their products that thhey orderd. I spoke to many people who told me that Medicare pays in 2 weeks. Why has no one been paid then? 4 weeks is what Mr. Cardell said is to everyone about the average time it takes to ship when we started. If there is nothing wrong with Best Care why have a;ll the top people stopped doing webinars and left to go work at Apple Street Inc? I'm not completely sure about everything that is happening. I no enough to stear clear from this company. Happy agents 1 and 2 are going to be unhappy agents 1 and 2 when they face the facts to what is really happening. Do not get involved with these people unless you like working for free!
2 Weeks for medicare to pay ? Boy are you dreaming...GET REAL
Happy agent 2 you must be completely delarious. You are too blinded with greed to do your own research. Every person in this business knows that Medicare pays within 15 days. coinsurance takes a little longer. Call any company that bills Medicare like a DME biller or do your due dillegence before you spout off about things you have been led to believe to be true like it takes 3 months to paid. You need to GET REAL! 4 weeks for a customer to get their order is what every other reputable company is doing some sooner. You must be new and still buying in to all the deceit. You are dreaming if you think that you are going to get paid before this company is shut down.
Never paid and very unhappy agent 1001
Hey Einstein have you thought about the fact that the so called National Sales Directors and Sales Directors are the ones who have failed you. Best Care is the second company where they have had the same thing happen and now they are moving on to a third. If they would do more than sit and collect overrides they might be able to get something done. Well now Best Care has got there act together and things are moving... In 3 months you will discover where the problem really lies when the new company is performing the way the last 2 did. Congrats you are a real Einstein following a bunch of pathetic losers.
You unhappy agents have consistently been harping on the fact that it takes 15 days for Medicare to pay. Get your fact right. That's 15 working days. That means 3 weeks not 2 weeks. Write that down so you don't forget! Have you woken up to the fact that it sometimes takes a week for the doctor to sign off? Do you think doctors are in their office everyday of every week? How little do you really know... As for you getting paid that too depends on when it all comes together since the company pays twice per month not every week. It is true that it is possible to be in 4 or 5 weeks, but that's if everything that needs to transpire does so without any hiccup. Because no one knows for sure exactly how long it will take for an order to be signed off by the doctor, for the DME to be delivered, and Medicare to pay and then for the agent to be paid, it's important to always tell your client that it can possibly take 6 weeks or thereabouts. Of course all this is possible providing you didn't make any mistakes with your client order application. Now with the new billing system in place things are much better. You weren't patient enough and decided to follow someone called your leader. Some leader flapping their mouth off when surely they know only too well that it takes a little time to get everything fully organized when you're tackling new directions to better the company. In a couple of months you'll be the laughing stock nationwide while we continue to provide these wonderful products to our senior population. You signed a contract which obviously meant nothing to you. Your impatience is not needed in this business and you'd do better sitting behind a desk somewhere where you won't bother anyone.
Another Happy Agent!
As far as the 15 days go that is almost true. Actually it is 14 days and that is working days. What also needs to be taken into account however is that it takes probably at least 2 weeks to prep the application to go to the medicare a lot depending on how fast the Dr replies. Nothing can be billed to Medicare untill the DME has been shipped. Then as far as us getting paid it would probably take another week or more depending on what time of the month Best Care gets paid.
It is truly unfortunate that these people can go on line and without any proof of anything can make everyones life so miserable. Frank is doing the right thing and we will be in complete compliance with the law before this week is over ! I blame whatever has happened on the so called National Sales Directors who did not make things right when they were at Bestcare.
Have any of you Happy agents ever wondered why Best Care Medical Marketing is stealing and using the credibility of Best Care Medical Supply a real and legitimate co. that they are not related to in any way? Have you ever considered that it is the owner's responsibility to make sure that all business matters are in order before going in business not after and it is not the national sales directors responsibility? Have you ever considered that perhaps YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN COMPLIANCE SINCE DAY ONE! Not four months later? Have you considered that even if it takes 6 weeks or so to get paid WHY HASN'T PEOPLE BEEN PAID AFTER 4 MONTHS? The more you try to justify with your warped reasoning the more you look like crooks and idiots. The people who want to do the right thing do not consider this ever to be a laughing matter. I only have pity for you.
Thankfully the integrity has stayed at Best care and the rest has moved on...
One more thing Happy (& misinformed) agent. So that you do not continue to fuel incorrect information medicare does in fact process on the weekensd. everything is done electronically so as i said before it ONLY TAKES 14-15 days. If you would have been truthful from the beginning this company would not be falling apart and doomed for the future. It is a real shame that you ingnore the facts and continue to make so many obvious and sensless excuses for these people but i know everyone has to learn 1 way or the other. Shame on you.
Thank you " I am today1 " Your above statement proves to everyone how ignorant you are
I signed on to Best Care about 2 months ago, but never actually got started. I was recently contacted by my upline that I had to get new apperwork submitted as the company had changed to Apple Street Inc..
Why the sudden name change, and can anyone confirm that they have actually been paid by BestCare, Apple Street, etc.. I was skeptical in the first place and even more so now.
Want to do the right thing!
Frank can't even get a phone for his company...I was in wrote a ton of business, called for up-date two months later, they couldn't even find my paperwork. These guys give boobs a bad name.
to : skepticaltoo Best care did not become Apple Street Best Care is now shipping and paying. Apple street is a joke
to: wish I knew what is a ton of business ?/ The new Best Care is bigger and better and now emeging...
I was one of the first to submit orders through this company back in April and have not to this day received one red cent. Whats that smell? By golly I smell ###!
I have placed new orders with another (REPUTIBLE DME) on 15 July and have received the products and delivered the products on 29 July. What is that smell that I smell in the air? That smell that comes from Happy Agent 1 (probably con shop Frank) and Happy Agent 2 (probably con shop Jim). Oh yeah I recognize that smell. MAJOR ###!
The "new " Best Care? You mean the newer than April 1st 2009 Best Care? Sounds like Frank & Jim needed some money to fund their "new" company. Now they are telling people that worked so hard for them that there orders were rejected due to insurance reasons. How many of you like me have found otherwise? Many orders that are showing as no pays have been delivered and payed. The payments are going in Frank's pockets and not the person who made the sale. I am speaking from personal experience. Frank is blaming hundreds of distributors for all of the evil doings and refuses to accept any responsibilty. Apple Strret and Best Care are not the same company. Apple Street is a reputable company. Best Care is a scam. The leaders got tired of working for free and Frank's lies and decided to leave. Frank is now justifying not paying any disributor that has left his work for free company because they have chosen to leave and work with a reputable company that pays. Not that it matters he has only paid a few people a few dollars of what they are owed from the thousands of distributors. He only did this to keep others joining and submitting more orders. I got taken by these sorry SOBs. Do what many of us are doing and report them to the authorities. mailto:HHSTips@oig.hhs.gov. There is discussion of a class action lawsuit in the future. Count me in! These people who claim to be happy have never answered the question, have you been paid? They can't say they have. Frank and Jim are sure to be happy1 and happy2 since they are being paid very well. I smelled and was in the BS and had enough scruples to leave.
Re: James Barschow
This is Frank Cardell's partner who was involved in this scam and the other posted above. I received this article from a person in my downline who was scammed by these men.
Shame on him once. Shame on him twice for the above scam with Mr. Cardell. Shame on you if you are still putting others in this scheme. Report these men to Medicare Fraud online.

A telemarketing executive who was convicted in May of conspiring with Irwin H. (Sonny) Bloch, the nationally syndicated radio talk-show host, to defraud investors of more than $21 million was sentenced in United States District Court in Newark yesterday to six years and four months in prison and ordered to pay more than $5 million in restitution.
Milton Sonneberg, 51, the manager of Formation Capital of Great Neck, N.Y., paid Mr. Bloch as much as $10, 000 a week in 1993 and 1994 to promote failing businesses on his show, said Alain Leibman, an assistant United States attorney.
Mr. Bloch pleaded guilty to fraud charges last year and was sentenced to 21 months in prison. He was released in September because he is suffering from terminal lung cancer.
Three other men were also convicted of conspiring with Mr. Bloch: Joseph Glenski of Ridgewood, N.J.; Bruce Schroeder of Mahwah, N.J., and James Barschow of Eatontown, N.J. They were sentenced yesterday to terms ranging from two years and nine months to three years and four months.
The three men were also ordered to pay back $5 million to swindled investors. ALAN FEUER
Looks like they created a way to pay back the investors that they swindled.
Two new emails that my team received about the sinking scam operation.
I’d like to inform you that effective as of Midnight of the 6th of August, 2009. The website www.bcmsdirect.com will be shut down due to non-payment. All inquiries about Best Care Medical Marketing will have be directed to Frank Cardell at con.shop@verizon.net
The DME company that Frank Cardell is using illegaly is Lawson Medical Supplies located in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Their number is [protected].
Happy agents, is reality starting to sink in?
Happy Agents 1 & 2 have not made any comments lately. Cat got you tongue boys? Or does the fed have your sac's?
Best Care has never produced a check or order for any of my clients. Apple Street got right on my orders when I sent them in They keep me abreast of the status. I got some orders sent out. When I turn the delivery confirmations and then get paid, I will let everyone know. Kathy seems to be real helpful and honest.
Best Care is doing the right thing recently. They are using a billing service that keeps them in compliance. I turned in orders and had them delivered within a week and I was paid 3 weeks after that. Best Care might have had some problems but they seemed to have disappeared since they hired ARC to help them.
I also worked for A Caring Kind of Place which is a great company-things turned around quickly and I was always paid on time. I left them because of Mike Conway the sales director who is a shady man-I could not work for him anymore. His company name is Care Path which I refer to as Fraud Path. I warned A Caring Kind of Place to stay away from him-he does whatever he needs to to make a dime and is not out for the best interest of the company. I heard that they have since parted ways. This industry is full of jokers like him. I personally feel Frank is trying to do the right thing though.
I agree happy now! Carepath marketing is bad news. This guy goes from one company to another with his group. He is bad news and every company he goes to, he gets shut down and then moves on to another one. I pity the company he goes to next as they will be the next victim. If he was doing things right, why wouldn't he get a provider #. Agents beware-the feds are after this guy. If you follow him, he is likely to put your ins license revoked. He gives out false information and does not care about you other than the paycheck you make him. He was with WECARE before, until he got them shut down.

A few DUI's call out the FBI you know he has to be a criminal. Well that was my original thought. Though this message has changed my mind.
Here is some recent information about CarePath Marketing. This is the company that CarePath was using prior to We Care.

A Caring Kind of Place Medical Supplies and Equipment, Inc.
Anyone interested in working for him should ask him what happened to wecare. he had them shut down for his activities. He is dishonest. I have known him for years and I can tell you, he has ripped off many people. I have a long history of Mike Conway and who he has screwed. He is not to be trusted.
I think the company above was after WeCare but I am not sure. That seems to be pretty recent.
by working for him, I mean Michael Conway-the scam artist. Bet the next company he works for gets shut down!
A Caring Kind of Place is a reputable company that only had the name tarnished after they hired Mike Conway. I worked for them before and after they joined forces with him. He can not open his mouth without lying and he hurt this company. I was on a training call with Mike once. He had the owners of ACKP on the phone doing training and advising the reps of what to do to be in compliance. As soon as the owners got off the phone, Mike advised us to disregard what they said as we would not make $ doing the right thing! What a tool he is. How can anyone respect him?! He has since moved on to ADM Medical Supplies and Equipment and a company called Incare. Mark my words-they will be shut down within the next six months. Michael Arch Conway is under investigation and will ruin more peoples hard earned businesses before this is done.
Michael Conway and Frank Cardell are thieves and crooks. A couple of the previous owners from Best Care have now gone to AppleStreet Inc. and are doing their dirty work from there. We have reported them to Medicare fraud division. This is a copy of an email they actually sent to me. All of them will soon be under investigation and behind bars for a very long time.

Subject: Hinged Knee Orders- L1832
All Reps,
Effective immediately, we can no longer process orders for Two of the L1832 (Hinged Knee). The processing of two at one time has brought a lot of denials from Medicare. Even though the claim may pay, Medicare can go back and "Probe" the claim afterwards and take back payment. This could also mean a company-wide probe of all claims and would be bad for everyone.
If you send in an order with #2 of the L1832, we will remove one from the order and then process. You will be able to submit an order for the other knee at a later time to be determined. We will let you know what that time limit is. If you have already received a message saying your order was rejected for this, please check the claim again tomorrow afternoon. We will be adjusting those first thing in the morning.
Thank you for all your hard work,
Apple Street Inc. Administration
A Caring Kind Of Place was a great company before Mike CONway, Mr. Con has destroyed company after company, and I hope the Feds catch up with him and put him where he belongs.
I was with Best Care since the start and they did try to do their best to get the company started on the right path but fell short due to lack of communication and non-transparency from Frank Cardell.
Then we left Cardell and joined Apple Street, Inc. (ASI) since late July 2009. Apple Street (www.applestreetinc.com), based in Tulsa, OK, is a reputable company and has been in DME business since 1993. It hires ARC (Account Receivable Consultants) based in Clearwater, FL (www.arc4dme.com) as its billing company.
Both ASI and ARC are solid company and they follow Medicare guidelines at all times. They process my orders as well as my team orders accordingly and compensated on timely manner (bi-weekly). In addition, ASI doesn't hesitate to reprimand or terminate its agents if they failed to follow Medicare guidelines.
Some agents are simply pissed off from Best Care because they didn't get compensated. Then they assume ASI is the same. Fortunately, that's not the case.
I'm pretty sure Happy Agent 1 and 2 are Frank and Jim because nobody else believes in Best care beside themselves. They need to keep the "belief" alive so they can keep recruiting people, submit orders and never get paid. Who got paid? Yup, you got it - Frank Cardell!
Check out their site www.bestcaremedicalmarketing.com They severed relationship with Best Care Medical Supply (BCMS) a DME company BUT have the audacity to still use/ keep BEST CARE name on their site.
They (Frank and Jim) now hook up another DME company that's not even worth mentioning because it's going down the tube soon anyway.
Very sad...

Those videos have NOTHING to do with what Best Care does. You are comparing apples to oranges and you are a ### . I am NOT Frank or Jim and yes I do get paid.
I have to say that these prior posts drew skepticism, I don't agree or disagree, I was just in for the training. I haven't sold anything yet. I decided to do my research. There is no scam on the elderly, which was my first concern. Medicare pays the company the FMV for the product for that area of the country. The patients are requesting approval for product from the doctor first. There is no annual cap on medicare approved durable medical goods an any given year. So at the least, you are not scamming the elderly. In order for Best Care Medical marketing to receive payment from Medicare, they need to be an approved supplier (I learned that not every supplier is posted on the website) and do all the paperwork correctly. As for the lag in payment, I believe that this may help them to float the cost of the products out the door. In the end, I believe I would get paid, and that I am not doing any injustice by supporting or selling these products.
I am not Happy Agent 1 or 2, but I am very happy with Best Care Medical Marketing. I too am getting paid so it is obvious there are some who are on a witches hunt and probably all caused by their own sloopy work. There are many others who are getting paid and are happy. It must break your heart to learn of this, but truth is truth. It's time you focus on some other smear campaign.
Happy Agents: I feel truly sorry for you if you believe you should be paid within 14-15 days. Here are the facts- please check the CMS Medicare site and any reputable billing firm such as Lurkens.
-Reputable companies provide agents with all necessary paperwork, training, full product samples, compliance information ( certain products may require an individual to be a certified fitter--check with your local O&P board)
-Reputable companies also "employ" their employees, as Medicare has strict compliance guidelines for this.
-Reputable DME companies will employ on its staff the following: former RN, LPN, PT, PTA, OT, OTA, COTA, CPED, etc.
-Reputable DME companies will provide pay dates, not pay as orders are billed. This would be costly for any company to prepare checks daily, etc.
-Reputable companies will give it's employees 20-30% commission.
Any company operating under pyramid schemes offering overrides, etc is not legitimate as Medicare does not even allow
pyramid schemes.
Another clue to the Best Care reps: If a company directs you to sell products to just go visit patients at a facility and sell products--- under guidelines, referrals for products must come from therapists, nursing, restorative nursing, social services, etc..One can not simply show up at a building to sell DME products--
Folks, check with the DME compaines: Regal Medical Supply, Dynasplint, Remark Medical, Choice Medical, Donjoy, Empi, etc are reputable DME companies. Better yet, check with your suppliers as they too will know that anything else is in noncompliance with CMS Medicare supplier standards, and by distributing to companies that are not, they are placing themselves in a precarious situation.
I fit sounds to good to be true..it is.. Most DME companies require some degree of medical background to represent them or offer junior sales positions to learn the products and build knowledge..They do not simply tell you to buy a tape measure and notebook and go vist senior citizens... It may be tempting for an individual seeking new opportunities though know that you are placing yourselves at risk with your local O&P boards and state medical boards by becoming involved with such companies. Ultimately it could lead to you becoming barred and fined in your state, then where has this new opportunity led?
Seriously, due diligence is required for any new venture, and check with the companies mentioned above...
Here is how the process works--- It should not take weeks for products to deliver or paperwork to be completed...
1.) Order for DME is placed-
orders must accompany the following:
-DME form which is signed by either patient or designated facility signor if patient can not sign or by the patient
-Phone order: If signed by the physician, this suffices as the physician approval, or if not signed by physician it mut be signed by attending nurse, which physician signature/approval of order is still required.
-FaceSheet: this provides all necessary information necessary to bill Medicare
-Eval/Medical Need: this would be eval notes from therapy, nursing, etc to demonstrate medical need for the products with correct DX codes.
2.) Products are shipped to rep immediately for delivery ( with my company 2-4 days for most products)
Follow up with the facility for delivery and proper fitting of the said DME
-Patient or designated facility signor if patient can not sign signs the Statment of receipt as receiving the goods.
3.) As far as physician signatures, these are gathered relatively quickly if the firm is reputable and as you build a relationship with facilities and physicians. My turn around time is normally within 5 days. If it takes longer, you should be contacting the physicians office to ensure that they have in deed received the fax or ask if there is anything additional the physician may require...simple as that.
4.) Any REPUTABLE DME company pays its employees ( yes employees---not 1099 individuals, but employees) at the time all conditions are met and Medicare has been billed. I have never worked for a DME company that does NOT pay at time of billing submittal to Medicare...ie they do not make you wait for their company to receive funding from Medicare...
Most companies have standard pay days that you receive payments for what has been billed on specific dates. Reputable companies will give it's employees 20-30% commission.
Honestly, the leaders: Regal Medical Supply, Dynasplint, Remark Medical, Choice Medical, Donjoy, Empi, etc are reputable DME companies.
Any company operating under pyramid schemes offering overrides, etc is not legitimate as Medicare does not even allow
pyramid schemes. Another clue to the Best Care reps: If a company directs you to sell products to just go visit patients at a facility and sell products--- under guidelines, referrals for products must come from therapists, nursing, restorative nursing, social services, etc..One can not simply show up at a building to sell DME products--
