Complaint Review: HCW Capital - James Hooks

Purchased Busines Funding Package on December 8th, 2008 for the amount of $2,000 and never received any services. The agreement that I signed stated that the process will take about 2 months. It's been over 6 months and I have not received any value, and/or partial services from the initial agreement. The day after REQUESTING a full refund, I received a press release stating that HCW was sold to SOP Holdings. No info about SOP Holdings was given and no info was found online. Usually within a press release, telephone and web info about both companies are given. After not finding any information about the surviving company, I became annoyed, and suspicious. Who would conduct biz with a co. that they cannot find? Who would conduct biz with a co. who keeps their contact info, employees, and board members a secret? Does this co. really exist? These questions raised an eyebrow which is the initial reason for my refund request. I never received ANY services. No business trades, No corporate credit, NADA, NOTHING! They emailed a refund request form, claiming all refunds will be given by 7/15/2009. On 7/14/2009, they sent an email stating that they "screwed up" and the refunds will be given at a later date. They never specified when and never issued the refund.

SM also filed a ripoff report. At least they had the decency to give him a business plan and he was contacted from an financial institution. I received NOTHING that showed my file was even worked on. The rebuttal from the company also mentioned that SM breached their contract when he did a charge-back from his credit card. I PAID CASH VIA BANK WIRE TRANSFER. THEY RECEIVED THEIR $2,000 DIRECTLY INTO THEIR BUSINESS CHECKING ACCOUNT. WHAT IS THE EXCUSE FOR THIS CASE?

Consumers, BEWARE! James Hooks will waste your time, patients, and money. He cannot/will not deliver anything! Not even the refund!
