The A-Team – Legit or Scam?

I came across a critical review of The A-Team on a Scam Reporting website – DirtyScam.com, titled ‘Customer Service’.

DirtyScam allows anonymous submission of complaints from angry consumers and victims of scams. Since the website is hosted offshore (probably in Russia or India), we take this (negative) review against The A-Team with a pinch of salt.

Here is what the review says –

The A-Team will not follow up with you if you are in the Market for a small home.I contacted Chis and after he ran my credit and told me what the numbers were, he told me that he would get an employment report from my job…never did.I was assured by a well established Realestate in Whittier that Chris was awesome and ALWAYS follows through.I complained after many failed attempts for a call back or a follow through with an emailed question. But hit and miss, mostly miss.So he apologized and said he would be contacting when ever I contacted him, he failed to do so again.Then I received a text from a contact I didn’t know and the person asked if I was still looking for a home??If I was that concerned with retaining a customer IM CALLING HIM!I mentioned my concern, their reply was “I understand and good luck” and that there was that.NO attempt to try and figure out a way to assist if Chris seemed unable to.The person never shared their name with me, so that told me they weren’t interested in my business.

In case you don’t already know (assuming you came to this page by Googling ‘The A-Team scam‘, or ‘The A-Team review‘, The A-Team is listed under the category Business on DirtyScam.com.

It is difficult to ascertain whether The A-Team is a Scam, or Legit, based on this single review. In the coming weeks/days, I will try to research deeper into The A-Team, analyze and list more critical reviews and identify a pattern (or lack of) to substantiate the claim mentioned above.

Regardless, until then, we give the benefit of doubt to the reviewer and list The A-Team as someone you need to avoid (for now).
