I was contacted by "Unified Services" in May from 775-678-5678. A young man informed me that I've won a $1000 internet Shopping Spree and a vacation. He then asked for my bank account number because I needed to pay $1.95 for shipping of the package.

I hesitated, and he called his supervisor who assured me that my bank would not let them deduct more then $1.95 from my account. Lie!

A week later my checking account was slapped with $149.80 and I also had a $25 NSF charge added to the amount. I was horrified. The check was made out to "Unified Services".

I contacted my bank, then this company. They told me to submit claim to their refund department. I did. The department denied my refund. I am angry and disappointed. I am planning on contacting my attorney general and file a complaint.

Here's their address:

Unified Services
5940 South Rainbow Blvd., Suite 2007
Las Vegas, NV 89118

    Unified Services Corp (the SCAM company), was started in July, 1997 by Michael T. Warren who also runs these scams:  Wealth Investment Network; The Warren Asset Institute; The Michael Warren Group; Unified Services Corporation; New Castle Marketing; Michael Warren; Global Investments & Wealthnetwork.com  Warren bills himself as a real estate guru, get rich quick guru, get rich through foreclosure guru and numerous other "gain wealth" trickeries.  Apparently, the company is based in Colorado, perhaps Colorado Springs but it's hard to pin down.  They like to use an address of a legitimate Colorado real estate company which has a Las Vegas address.  Foreclosures.com has had a number of complaints about Warren when he is wearing his "foreclosure guru" hat.  He's been arrested in Colorado (2003) for "fradulent financial practices".  Don't know what happened in that case but he is back in business.  This link has his picture, a PO BOX for Unified Services, and a local phone number.

    I've never heard of them before. Somehow they got ahold of my bank information. I was checking my account online like I always do and found out that I was overdrawn. I found a charge to this place called Unified Services. I never received a call from this place, never received anything in the mail from them and I don't know how they got my information. I now have to change my bank account because I'm afraid of what they may do or what they have done with my information. They have totally screwed me. Luckily my bank was understanding and refunded the bank charge they charged me in the first place. It's just a big pain to have to deal with though.

    I'm looking into "Apex" that seems to be doing a similar scam. When I Googled the address "5940 South Rainbow Blvd" I found this site! Same address, same suite number (2007), different name. See this URL for more:

    Preston, you can add "Apex" to your helpful and unfortunately ever-growing list of scam companies this guy has.

    I'd been getting calls almost everyday for a week from Apex, but i was never home to answer them. Then one day i did, and i told these people t leave me alone. They called back like 2mins later, and the rest of that day. I decided to hear them out, and when i said i wasnt interested i hung up. The floor manager called me the next day, and i told them to leave me the f*ck alone. Then last week, about 2weeks after the whole phone call stuff, i get a packege in the mail from Apex. I called the numbers on the flyers and told them i didnt want anything to do with their promotions. So they cancelled my "trial" offers, and today...guess what?? $169.93 was fraudulently taken out of my account- by means of a fake check. I am so mad right now, i want to kill someone. Thats a lot of money. And its strange coz i didnt give them any of my information....i didnt agree to anything....
    I hope whoever runs these scams burns in hell, but before they die i wish they die very very slowly. I am a student and the money they took is a lot, even for the average person.
    I filed a complaint with my bank and am waiting on their decision. I pray i get my money back...i need it.
    When i tried calling the customer care, the one guy says "i cant do anything about that." I hate them...they know they are ripping people off..those telemarketing people should also burn in hell, but before that they should get whats coming to them. "What goes around comes around"

    I was contacted by this firm ( APEX Services) today, and they offered me a free 7.2 MP digital camera and free 3 days, 2 night vacation.  All I had to do is pay $1.95 for shipping and handling.  They asked for my banking/checking info.  I didn't fall for it as I was searching Google to look up this scam.  Sure enough...  Yes, once I hung up, the guy called back.  After I told him it was a scam, he said he would call back every 2 minutes.  

    If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is...

    Recently I saw an webinar/infomercial sponsored by Wendy Patton.  Whe had Michael T Warren as the 'guest'  He presented his get rich with them doing all the work.  All you had to do is give them $1000.  

    I know something (maybe a lot) about liens, notes, & judgments.  Parts of the pitch seem factually wrong.  Additionally the pitch seemed to be made from two other pitches, it did not flow smoothly.

    So I researched the guy.  There is NO WAY I WOULD EVER DO ANY BUSINESS WITH HIM, not even if you paid me double my losses.

    My advice to people is check out ALL info-products and the gurus.  Google the guru's name or course description with words like SCAM, FRAUD, ARREST, COURT.  That should help you avoid about 90% of the scam artists.

    Vist the B.S. Checklist http://www.johntreed.com/BSchecklist.html  READ IT.  This will help you detect scams quickly.  It is also the same kind of blue print that info marketeers will sell you to learn how to scam others.

    If you try to buy into one of these scams, then actually you are ALSO a scammer!  That's one thing you have to learn.  I ended up on this page because some one has the same name as me, and is constantly getting a bad rep on the Internet.  Sorry it's not me, I'm from Virginia; and I have nothing to do with nor any knowledge whatsoever of these other people.  If I were you, I think it's best to keep the whole thing quiet, and just don't do it again.  Stop accepting calls from strangers, stop listening to salesmen, and stop LOOKING for a get rich quick scheme!
