Complaint Review: Global Relocation Inc. - 21001 N. Tatum Blvd Phoenix Arizona

[Front end of scam ] Victim of a sophisicated "upfront refundable" rental retainer scam advertised on Craigslist. Was told via phone to send $ 350.00 via Greendot Money Pak from Walmart to "hold & guarantee" a property. A preliminary rental application was sent via facsimile to us. Offer seemed very legitimate, e-sign documents were also sent via e-mail for signing from Sertfi Electronic Signature. After first day we received two leads with rental agents who had no idea who "NT Rentals" were. The real reason for this seasoned scam company using the Greendot Money Pak is to circumvent all federal laws pertaining to/and the protection of a consumer using a credit card.

[Back end of SCAM] Various individuals would follow up claiming to be property coordinators , refund managers, company supervisors and relocation specialist. I believe these are hired "straw/dummy" players to make it difficult to track down the scam location and it's real owners. Fake employees and phone numbers/locations we encountered are: Alyssa in Minneapolis Mn 612 276 2171 and St. Paul Mn. 651 434 3463, Khendz in Minneapolis 612 284 2820, Tin in Baltimore MD. 443 957 1334, Kim in Washington DC. 202 470 0827. AZ Secratary of State address for: Global Relocation Inc, 3834 E. Shady Spring Trail, Phoenix AZ Phone 915 613 3121 El Paso Texas #. After several phone conversations with various "employees in various cities all phone numbers would be "disconnected" turned off.

Registared AZ officiers are: Ilissa Paige Gustafson, Greg Schwartz and Christian Nelson. From research it appears the main player is Illisa Gustafson who was/is married to Greg Schwartz.
