Business Brokers International

March 22, 2022

Our intrepid Aimfair Scam Investigator was contacted again on the evening of March 21, 2022. Here is what he shared with all of us:

Good morning Bob,

Thanks very much for posting the scammer information on the website. I enjoyed reading all of your updates on the Aimfair website during the weekend.

I caught another one last night.

I received a call from Business Brokers International out of Manhattan. I gave the scammer the third degree the best that I could without swearing at him. I’m surprised that he didn’t hang up on me. I just spoke to the property manager at the building they claim to be located at – One New York Plaza

The property manager was very nice and said that Business Brokers is not a tenant in their building, and that she has been receiving quite a few calls from people enquiring about them. She said that some people have told her that they sent money to Business Brokers and of course never heard back.

I will add Business Brokers to the database that I am working on.

Then he heard back from the caller. This is the exchange:

Gerard,

I contacted the property manager at 1 New York Plaza (212-483-0771). She stated that Business Brokers International is not a tenant in the building – and that she has been receiving quite a few calls asking if Business Brokers is a tenant. Some people complained to her that they sent money to Business Brokers with no results.

I don’t think that Business Brokers International is a legitimate company. I quite frankly think that you are a scam and a fraud. I think that all you are trying to do is attempt to coerce honest people to send you money as a fee for whatever BS reason (e.g. Mexican Tax I.D., closing costs, administrative fees, etc).

You and other fraudulent brokers use the same tactics:

• Address of a major office or financial building to make it seem that you’re a bigshot company – but you are not a tenant in such building.
• Alleged name of the potential buyer who is a billionaire and can be found on the internet
• Name of the Buyer’s representative, however, cannot be found on the internet
• High rental or sales price to attract the owner. However, in this case, your offer is way too low.

Your website URL are less than a year old. So how could your company be in business for many years?

Do not contact me any further as I will not be answering and will not be replying to any further emails.

Also, here is the result of a search of the telephone number:

Thank you for this updated information. Very valuable and a great reminder that the calling parties are very thick skinned. They do not take NO for an answer nor do they get upset when you do.

Remember, Scams survive by people sending them money. To help stamp out scams....Don't Send Money!
