Alert
As
of September 24, 2019, BBB has received three reports from consumers alleging
they hired The McLaurins for debt consolidation services. These consumers
were told the company would consolidate their credit cards, pay them off and
charge 1.4% interest per month. Instead, the consumers allege the company
paid down their credit cards using counterfeit checks while subsequently
charging their credit cards using Apple Pay. Once the credit card
companies caught on to the scheme, they closed the credit card accounts
sighting fraudulent activity leaving the consumers with a negative credit score
and responsible to pay back the money.
BBB
found The McLaurins company does not have a business license with the State of
Alaska. BBB has received returned mail from the advertised address in
Anchorage and does not believe the company is physically located in the
State. The McLaurins advertises they are in good standing with the
Certified Management Accountants Association. BBB could not find the
company listed. The photos of the consumers who provided testimonials on
the website were taken from other websites. The company’s website does not
include a Privacy Policy or Terms and Conditions. BBB could not find any
information regarding the company’s ownership. BBB has reached out to the
company and is awaiting a response.
