Is las vegas funding group a ripoff

Researching...this is what i found. >> Las Vegas Funding Group is currently under investigation by the FBI and FTC...they call you through an auto-robo call..you press one and you are connected to a sales agent with a title...Las Vegas Funding Group has been in business since July 2009..but since it is a DBA, and the license is issued to Creative Medical Management a 7 year old corporation..they will lie and tell you they have been writing medical grants for 7 years..that is a lie!!!! They manage medical offices and do billing!! They have no licensed grant writers nor attorneys just a girl sitting behind a desk with a book called grant writing for dummies, she writes a one page letter....is that going to get you a grant?? Nope They are just a bunch of preditors taking advantage of innocent people who are just trying to keep their business going!! Don't fall for this scam! Don't believe me call the FBI and ask about Las Vegas Fundjng Group...you'll see it's just a matter of time before the Feds knock on their door!!!! This company is a scam! It is the same people who brought you USA GRANTS, THE GRANT PEOPLE, National Professional Filings, BRAND NEW NAME...sorry same old scam...You know the pitch they bring you on board...tell you how many foundations you qualified for...you write them a check for 2, 800..You get a call from a liason welcoming you on board and then faxes you over basic questionaire (that is supposed to be your profile...then you don't hear from anyone for weeks, sometimes months...certified grant writers on staff?? Nope!! Just some girl sitting behing a computer with a book called "Grant Writing for Dummies) she writes a one page letter of intent! Is that going to get you a grant??? Nope...Wake up people...If you think their client base is unhappy..you should hear from their ex-employees who found out they were ripping off the general public, hated it and quit. Know they cant get paid for hours worked nor sales made..if they wont pay their employees who help them steal how are they ever going to assist you in getting a grant??..They are just a bunch of preditors taking advantage of innocent people who just trying to keep their business going...

 

Ha ha ha! This latest blog is from a prostitute that Las Vegas Funding Group fired. I work there and they fired her because she offered sexual favors to employees on payday. She threatened to blog LVFG to death after they caught her in the parking lot. Her name is Rose Zuniga. This blog cracks me up. She even went as far as to say the FTC was investigating!!! The attorney General himself walked through there and saw nothing more than a business that is funding people. They even have references. If you are reading this, hopefully you are smart enough to call the Better Business Bureau and see that there are No Real Complaints. Just blogs from a prostitute that worked there!!!!

This company promised me a grant. I am a client of theirs and i have attached two letters that they wrote. If you ask me..they are not worth $2800...it looks like my ten year old kid wrote that...and I called the foundation they only support APES. (endangered monkeys)!!! Go on their website and see for yourselves http://www.arcusfounda... They support organizations seeking to ensure respect and survival of great apes and their natural habitat.

I am so upset i will call the FTC just like you suggest. I will also file a complaint with consume affairs. Thank you so much!!! Below you will see te letter

I received a call from Las Vegas Funding Group, in July 2009. I was contacted by Kyle who was very nice and seemed knowlegable in grant writing. I had my guard up and questioned her hard. He put me on the phone with their financial analyst Mark Smith, he assured me of all my worries and gave me the time to research the company and so forth. Upon researching, I located the owner, Paul Hadley. He owns multiple companies, and has had a few licenses revoked, but over all no weary public records. I researched Las Vegas Funding Group throughly and found really nothing on them. I bothered me alittle that I couldn't find even a success story about them. After talking to Mark I told h I had my doubts that he could find my company a grant of $1.5 million and I should receive my first check of $750, 000 by September 2009. It seemed to good to be true, but then again he explained to me the process of grant writing and what guidelines had to be followed and assured me that I was making a wise decision to invest my money in their services. So, with some doubt I did just that, invested my hard earned money into this scam. The cost of their service is, $2800.00. I would have to send all up front, but I told him I could not afford that in these times, he agreed that they would accept $1400.00 and the remainder $1400.00 in 30 days. Upon, receiving my retainer fee, I was promised a interview phone call, which I received from a woman named Jade. She did not interview me as i was told but instead sent me a questionaire with basic questions, like my age, martial status, own or rent, and so forth. No word from Las Vegas Funding Group, so I contacted Kyle which I can never get him on his extension. Their 800 number is whacky and the extensions don't work. Finally someone answers they take your information and someone will call you back. To me it is like they all sit in different locations or work from home. The initial phone number 702-554-1466 has been disconnected. At this point, I am frantic that I can not get Kyle on the phone. I feel I have been scammed, so I research "Las Vegas Funding Group" and from what i see they have changed their name 5 times!!

I don't know if there a scam or not, but by reading some of the blogs (the ones they posted themselves) they are apparently distasteful and immature saying horrible things about former employees and so forth.  Is that a company you would want to do business with in the first place?

In response to amused, WOW, you are a piece of s***! You know that Rose is not a prostitute, however was a top producer every week. She would close about 3 to 5 clients a week. Then, she started to ask questions for her clients and was told "Don't worry about it" "Just keep doing what your doing". She got suspicious and started asking more questions, then was told to "just do her job". When realizing that NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN GIVEN A GRANT & that they actually DO NOT have ANY grant writers she questioned the manager Mike. At that point, she was upset because they led her to beleive that she was working for a scam company. I also worked there and know for a fact THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM!!!! I Left the next day. DO NOT DO ANY business with them! and by the way, amused, I know who you are.

 I flew to Vegas this past weekend 12/7/09 and drove by the address; they are in hiding. I'm a cancer patient who started a foundation for cancer patients; I help women who don't have families during surgery and chemo by inviting them in my home for a few days for a time of pampering. I paid everything out of pocket from my disability money. LVFG called me last week and said that even though I've paid, there is no guarantee of results. I flew to Vegas this past weekend and drove by the address; they are in hiding. I called the local TV station and Atty Gen in Nevada today; they said don't handle consumer affairs anymore; they don't have the time. Then another co. who paid LVFG contacted me through my website and they've been lied to as well. They've been told that LVFG will write grants for small bus. I was told a month ago by this same "Jade" that they no longer write grants. So this poor company is doomed because foundations only fund nonprofit companies. I also called BBB Las Vegas said that they will be gone in a year; that is what they do. So I have a friend who is a retired FBI agent to help. This is my 3rd bout of cancer and I may not make it, but I'm going to fight!
