Thanks.

Please make sure to read this carefully before we would not want you to fall into their demise. So basically if any company is asking for any information about your banking or any credit reports required from you to provide to the company most likely it is a scam.

If there are any others that you have come across please let us know and alert us and we will spread the word to make sure that no one is victimized from this.
