Do You Know Them?

Something about these shiny, happy people is bothering me.

If you missed their story, check this out - John Shiffman's Saturday piece in the Inquirer about the Bad Credit B Gone law firm.

U.S. Postal Service has taken an interest in them.

Investigators allege they're not a real firm, they're not in NYC as advertised, they're not really interested in fixing your credit. They're run by a West Chester guy with a paper trail of bad debts.

Shiffman wrote:

Murphy tried to locate "James Brennan, Esquire," the 30-something attorney pictured on Bad Credit B Gone's Web site. The inspector says there are three people named James Brennan licensed to practice law in Pennsylvania.

One is dead. One is 72. One works for the U.S. Justice Department.

So here, dear readers, is my question. Who these people in the picture? Some fashionistas I know figure the ladies are sporting office wear that's a little too last-century. Has anyone seen any of these people before?

Blinq enjoys a critical, suspicious audience, many of whom are experienced in sniffing out stories. Who are these people?

Looks like a cheap stock photo to me...

In fact, if you search for the original image file name from the scam web site, you find this:

"Portrait of a Group of Smiling Businesspeople"

You, sir, are a bloody genius! And a fast one! If Blinq had t-shirts, I'd send you one. Is the promotions department listening? Is there a promotions department?

I assume you mean John's front-page piece Saturday. You didn't think that was A01-worthy? Or do you mean my post, which of course isn't on any page. Neither, I think, is responsible for killing people.

I have to agree that article is not worthy of front page news.

I was searching the net for a new credit repair company  my search was " Bad Credit " and I came across these articles. I was a client of Bad Credit B Gone and in all honesty I must say the results I saw were amazing! When a company like this opens up the credit bureaus are forced to hire more people to respond to disputes. This costs the credit agencys money and time. A majority of Americans are uninformed about their credit and the rights they have under law. Big business prevails once again. Lexington Law Firm here I come !
