Default Foreclosure inspection company or scam?

Question, Does anyone know anything about this company? They have the NACHI Banner on their web site, offering opportunities for doing foreclosure walk thru's. Is this something NACHI has review and is supporting? www.foreclosurebankinspector.com Please advise.

Wow! Have you read their little testimonials about the BBB?
http://www.foreclosurebankinspector.com/bbb.html

I ran a check from the BBB WEB site and according to the BBB they have processed no complaints on the company in the last three years. So how did they happen to supposedly receive the complaint letters from the BBB?

Hi Luis,
They sound like they are selling "Inspections kits / background checks".

I would give them a "pass".

I hope that you had a Merry Christmas and that you have a TERRIFIC New Year

Mike,

I have not forgotten. I'm just trying to tone down my posts so I don't get threatened with another lawsuit!

I went and visited his WEB site for the first time since my last post and he has made some changes. It really is hilarious that he is proud to state that he is now registered with the BBB and state AG's. Have you read the little testimonials/letters for how he was registered?? I've seen a lot in the past but to advertise using complaint letters??

apparently the banner on his website is questioning whether NACHI is a scam or not... vs. any endorsement either way...

I didn't know you had to have a background check to sell watches.

Shut up and pay the former NBA player $89 for a background check, then $200 for insurance, $39-50 to mail letters a week, parking fees to visit the courthouse on a weekly basis ...
