Yeah, how much of an idiot would you have to be to buy a bank account as a result of this spam? The English is atrocious. The company is based in Ecuador.
What spam? You may have included some context, but the danger of using Google groups instead of a newsclient is that Google's webmailer now strips contextual material. I understand that there's a workaround for the problem.
First, sorry about the english. You are right it's not to good, I should practice more.
Now let me clear some of the comments, if I may.
I post this message because this place was one of the sites I searched for information when I was trying to open an account. Obviously I didn't find anything that helps.
I found some places when they sold the information on $100 or more. I also found sites that offered incorporating my business and then help me to open an us bank account... they charged way over $400... no guarantees.
Finally I found a guy that sold me the information for $59. I felt doubtfull but... I bought it.
It was a good move. I could open my account without any problem. I did transfer money from my PayPal account and it works great.
So.... I made a simple website offering people the same information for a fraction of the cost. Personally I don't think there is anything wrong about it. After all I had to pay and take the risk for it at the first place.
Plus the price is really cheap, it's actually a bargain compared to other sites, and I give money back guarantee. I use PayPal and 2 checkout as methods of payment so if you have any problem just tell them and they will close my account... but that is not gonna happend... because the infomation is good... and I give a great service.
You are right... I'm from Ecuador... That's why I needed an US Bank Account!! The bank I have my account is, obviously, in the US. The name of the bank and all the information in how to open the account is what you will receive. Just visit the web site.
I´m sorry for the spamming acusations. But this group is about opening an US Account so the information is related, that's why I post it. Anyway, spam are faceless. I'm not. My name is Jorge Hernández, and my email and phone is in the web site, so if you want to contact me directly, you can do it. I'll be happy to answer any question.
Finally... if you want to know how truth the information is and how real the deal is. Go to ebay, click advanced search, in seller put my user id "jiht76". Check any auction and also check the feedback of my clients. ¿They are all good right?
That's because this equatorian guy tells the truth and gives good products and good service.
I know that this reply could still be found as spam for somebody... If that's the case, I'm sorry. I'm not going to write again.
In any case, sorry If I ofended you. My intention was to give the information to the ones that, like me, needed it.
I missunderstood how the newsgroup works. I didn't realized the message will go to your emails. I thought it will only be posted in the web.
You are right. It was a very stupid thing to do announcing the service in this way. You can be sure I will not do this again.
I'm sorry you consider this a scam. Anyway, how can I blame you now?
In any case, I post pictures and some prof of my service and I have started a hole newsgroup (I don't want to be called spammer again so you have to find it in your own) so if there is someone that I can help. I'll be glad to.
My apologies to all of you again. You can feel free to "spam my newsgroup" anytime you want ; )
And just how do you know this? Aren't you jumping to conclusions?
I don't disagree that the possibility of being ripped-off is there ($30 buck, big deal), but what right do you have to make such absolute assumptions? How is an attempt at a business of this type supposed to prove its legitimacy?
I recently found it necessary to change my banking facilities, so I posted some questions in a couple of newsgroups. One helpful chap in Malaysia sent me the URL of the enterprise we are discussing here. In fact I had, encountered this myself earlier, but dismissed it for reasons similar to the ones you express (except I merely wondered, rather than make assumptions and accusations). Having failed to achieve what I needed with another bank, I decided to try this URL. I downloaded the application forms last night I now am in the process filing an application for an account.
Now, I know I am not a public personality whose word the public will automatically accept as gospel, but I will say this anyway: I received what is being promised. That is, the name of a bank that will accept applications from non-US residents, relevant application forms, and even samples on how to fill them out (not that it is especially difficult). Plus more useful information.
I am taking upon myself the task of posting similar comments in several newsgroups, just to convince the community that this is a legitimate enterprise. Is it worth it? That's up to you to decide. If you want to spend a lot of frustrating time searching yourself (as I've had to do, and failed), go fo it. Personally I don't give a hoot about $30 (or $50, or $100), though I would be annoyed if I were scammed. Well, I assure you you that this is not a scam - you get what is promised.
As far as identify theft is concerned, I did not have to provide any information that could be used for this purpose. All such info is to supplied on the bank's application forms, which I am to send directly to the bank. Your fears are groundless, and your haste to make such conclusive accusations may be a bit paranoid. Give the guy a break, for heavens' sake.
Should you wish to contact me directly about this, feel free to email me at: snipped-for-privacy@topman.net
Oh wow! It is so gratifying to see such inteligence flowing through these NGs!
The company is based in Equador!!! And of course, we all know that everything from Equador is illegitimate. Couple this with the "atrocious English", and we can comfortably pat ourselves on the back with the knowledge that the entire English speaking world, and ONLY the English speaking world, is legitimate. Enron must have been the work of aliens (I can't be bothered to search for a UK counterpart).
Is this what you think? How sad!
As I indicate in my reply to an earlier post in this thread, this is not a scam. Compare the specified price to that of others who offer to provide a similar service and you will see that this is chicken feed.
Did you do a "background check" on the bank? Are you sure it's legit? A "scammer" could just give a name & address of a made-up bank, so you would then be sending the application forms direct to the scammer...
No, I've checked it out. In fact, I had encountered it before but chose to try another one with similar facilities. In fact, the one I chose turned out to NOT accept non-US residents, and I just gave up simply because it seemed to be too much of a hassle, and you start to feel that they would all share similar policy. Evidently such is not the case.
Yes, indeed! Several years ago our local telephone book was split into two sections: Business and residential. Over the years the residential section has got markedly slimmer as more and more people are heeding police advice and withdrawing their entries. Businesses have a need to appear in directories; residential information should be on a need to know basis. Of course, it doesn't completely solve the problem but in the war on identity theft and terrorism, every little bit helps.
OK, this thread seems to have settled down, thankfuly. I really don't like to offend people, unless I MEAN to do so.
For what it's worth, I hate spam. Hence my sincere apologies to those who view my post as spam. It was not something I was taking into consideration when I made my post or the agreement leading to it.
Almost time for me to pack it in. Y'all have a good weekend.
You don't have to give any address nor name to get the information. Just an email... so you can receive your username and password and check the info anytime you want.
