I echo all that TooLate says. This company is major rip-off. Their leads are bogus and they don’t honor their commitments. For example, I faxed a cancellation form to them, and they told me it was too late, even though it was on time. They simply said it took them a day to get a fax! Run like crazy.

A similar rip-off happening under different names Do not even think about entering into a contract with a corrupt, dishonest and dreadful company that goes by many names, first as Nationwide Finances on their website: www.nationwidefinancing.net, or Nationwide Financing and Nationwide Financial, both of these names are on the contract I wish I had never signed with them. For starters I was tricked into believing they were part of Nationwide Financial Services Inc. The leads for Real Estate buyers were in its majority old, people that had already purchased their home months before, and some were even names of other real estate agents. They charged me for an extra month after I sent them the request to stop these charges, I was forced to leave countless messages trying to resolve the situation, they never returned any calls, and when I finally reached the customer service department, their manager (who did not want to identify herself) was rude and said they would not reverse the charges, her childish excuse being that I sent it to the wrong fax number, never mind that it was sent to the fax number shown on the original contract for those purposes. I have organized all my paperwork to prove my case and, unless I get this charges reversed, I intend to take them to court. If there is other aggravated party please contact me through this site.

I want to thank everyone for their postings. I think the best way to shut them down is to contact your local realtor association and notify them of this company, any names and numbers you have and also a link to this blog, so they can see how dreadful they really are.

Everything is true about Julie Sugar, Don Ferguson, and Epage Homes, of Woodland Hills, CA. I was assured that these two people are licensed Realtors, and it’s a lie! I’ve checked on CA Dept. of RE, and they are not listed. I see they’re also morphing into “Ipage”. A total scam. Is there any way to get a class action lawsuit?

They are going around in WA State faster than we can get the word out.

I made a good faith effort to use this service. NEVER in my life have I run into such a scam. These folks are no good–and should be avoided !

Thank you for the heads up! I too would like to see action taken against these scams! Another is Real Estate Client Referrals out of Missoula Montana. Lots of promises and a guarantee! Leads are poorly screened and have usually been misled into the RECR system. They charge up front for the leads and want you to auto-renew after the set number of leads are received. DO NOT fall for their “to good to be true” promises and guarantees! realestateclientreferrals.com

We just got a call from a guy to speak w/a loan officer here.. Says he has some prequalified buyers in Virginia for him. DEFINITE sales call. He combed the website for a name and then called and asked for him. He also gave this # to call, 443-603-1039... said he was "James Faulk". Called from 410-268-3310 Don't waste your time!! There's another one out there called USHUD.. another telemarketing, waste your time and drain your wallet company.

Ladies and Gents, this is truly an amazing scam. Andy certainly has some big ones. If the National Realtor’s Assn. won’t do anything about this guy, perhaps everyone should go to their local Assn., the state Real Estate Division, and their state Secretary of State’s Offices. I’m sure it’s the same in other states as it is here in Nevada…any company doing business on the Internet must file for a state business license. Enough complaints to these agencies and “Nation Wide Financing” or whomever they are, will be shut down.

They changed their name to Nation Wide Financing, and are now using the name of “Don Ferguson”. The phone number is just way too close: (818) 444-7315 Ext. 8028

Thanks for posting this info. I’m in Florida and just received this email from Julie today. I would never pay for leads in advance anyway, but thought I’d google it to see what popped up and I think its great this info is here so others don’t get scamed by these people. Do some people just sit around and think of ways to steal from others. What a sad life!!!

Also be careful with “U.S. HUD”. They want to match you up with home buyers in your area. They are another lead company looking for your wallet.

I just recieved this email from Julie Sugar. I checked her email address, (a good indicator of a real or scam email), and it looked phoney.
Checking the internet your WARNING popped right up…Thank you.
“They” are always out there.

Got the same scam email. Getting so many of these companies that feed off of realtors. They are hitting the Northern VA area since so many Californians are moving here.
