1 /5 Scott Ross: {NO STARS} Spam and scam from Fictitious Paul, the Flim-Flam Man.
This appears to be a boiler room lead-gen hustle, enlisting accomplished neer-do-wells to pepper thousands of calling list prospects with recurring boilerplate text messages, emails and phone calls, in pursuit of the statistical 1-in-200 recipients foolish enough to call Paul to inquire about a business loan.
Social media is flush with testimonials from enthusiastic fake customers, heralding preposterous 600% to 1200% returns on small 1-3 week investments in who-knows-what. The poser "customers" are so unabashedly thrilled to share the joy of investing with Berkman, each includes a contact phone number and personalized web link in their testimonials. Thats not what real customers do. If a phone or web link lead materializes into a successful investment hustle, they get paid.
And therein lies the hustle: The "customers" arent customers.
And Berkman is not peddling business loans. Berkmans closers are flipping the script and pitching unregistered investments with goldmine illusions, tailored to sucker losers into eating their investment loss, rather than compounding it with costly, out-of-pocket, interstate litigation expenses certain to exceed the best-case award of the adjudicated investment recovery.
DO NOT respond to text message or emails. DO NOT text back "Stop2End," which signals senders that your phone number or email address is a live lead prospect and ensures that your contact information will be resold to other lead-gen hustlers.
