THIS IS FOR SURE A SCAM. WHEN I ASKED FOR COMPANY INFO ( FRANK MALLEK) STUDDERED A BIT AND WHEN I ASKED WHAT HE WAS SELLING HE HUNG UP ON ME.
I GOOGLED THE NAME OF THE AGENCY AND THERE IS NO SUCH THING.

To Brenda and anyone else who thinks that FPA is not on the UP & UP)
:
You are sadly MISTAKEN!
FPA (Federal Procurement Agency) is not a SCAM!  I know this for a FACT.  I personally take this accusation as an INSULT.  I have been with the company 9 years. We say and do the Right thing.  We always tell the business owners that "WE ARE NOT A FEDERAL AGENCY, WE ARE A SMALL BUSINESS WHO SUPPLIES FEDERAL BUYERS WITH SMALL BUSINESSES THAT THEY NEED TO DO BUSINESS WITH THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
We are required to speak with the owners or presidents of the company . They are the main decisionmakers

It's based on number of employees......

oh yes there is and it's great.. especially in these times.. you have no idea how much business i have gained after getting hooked up with this directory.. i WAS a small company but had to hire 4 more subs almost immediately because i couldnt handle the workload myself.. good luck with your business.. im heading off on vacation for the summer!!

I actually signed up with them 6 months ago and have not received one fax or phone call from any government agency yet. I called FPAguide and asked for a refund and was told they do not give refunds.

They told me that i did receive 4 faxes from the army corp of engineers. I asked them to email me proof that i received the faxes but they could not produce anything. I then called the army corp of engineers in Corpus Christi, TX  where they said one of the faxes came from. I talked to the person that does there ordering and they told me that they only go through there own system and would never use an independent site like FPAguide.

I also found out that they are owned by a doctor that has set up several scam companies in Florida.

They are a huge scam and i advise not to sign up with them.

I got two calls from Federal Procurement Agency.  According to the caller 'Frank' this is a 'lising' of no more than four small businesses per category that the Federal Government utilizes for services costing less than $5,000.  Someone please tell me, why the Feds would need me to pay $500.00 per year to be on this listing.  It doesn't appear to be anything more than a yellow pages-type system.  I pay to be on the list and, the Federal Government utilized my services instead of my neighbor?  This doesn't make sense.  Beyond the questions about annual revenue, there doesn't appear to be any screening in order to get onto this list.  I'm doing more research, but this doesn't sound legit to me.... anyone else feel the same?

I got a call also from this company. Wanted to talk to the prez or owner. I told him our company is a Inc. He was like wow how did you get on my list. I said you tell me, you called me. It's a scam people. No good can come from it. All I heard in the background was a call center so I know it's useless.

Mary called with FPA and started asking for information about our company. Did not ask for the owner or CEO. I requested to have someone call her back and then she said that the message needed to go to the CEO or owner.Number called from was 402-982-0521

I almost believed the telemarketer. However, when  I asked him why, if I didn't make at least $500 the first year, I would want to run the ad for a second year?  He didn't have an answer.  There is no money back guarantee.  The bad news is: you don't get your money's worth.  The good news is:  you get to do it for two years. :)        Sounds like a bad deal to me.

I also heard the call center noise in the background which alerted me that I wasn't as special as he said I was.  I'm sure when I said no, he just went to the next "prospect" on his list.  I hope they make a pretty good wage as a telemarketer because anyone who has any business sense would be suspicious of this and walk away and there would not be a nice commission.

Went of the Department of Defense website.  No Federal Procurement Agency to be found. HMMMM.

Think long and hard people.....

they just keep calling and calling and calling...who do they think they are? - the energizer bunny?

To TS
If it were not a scam you would not be screaming! Got the same sales call I get everyday. After so many times to telling them the owner is not available wouldn't you think they would get the drift and stop calling? Guess they are not to smart!

this is DEFINITELY a scam. we have been called numerous times AFTER requesting an opt out from their call list. they are bush league at best. BE WARE!!

Is it true that u get paid 7.00 an hourr?? even if u make no closes???

I heard the bosses daugter is in prison for being a crack head Mark, the boss his dauughter is getting out in june and probally will work there all cracked out,,,,When I applied there he asked me if i did drugs and i said no and then he said"Why the helldo u eant 2 work here then if ur not on pills?

I just got off the phone with a representative from FPA who scheduled a phone meeting tomorrow with an agency specialist.  Knowing nothing about this company, I Googled them and found this blog.  Now I am leary to spend any money with them.

You say that you inform business' that you are not a federal agency but a small business,etc.
Yah, right.
I had  been contacted by this company in the past and had my suspicions about their legitimacy, so when I was contacted by them again I asked a few, or shall I say I TRIED to ask a few questions about the company. I couldn't get the representative (Craig) to give me a straight answer. He definitely tried to give me the impression that FPA is a government agency, or is a department thereof. When I tried to pin him down on details of the company and its services he became very ambiguous in his answers. He didn't want to tell me what FPA stands for and tried to avoid giving me a detailed description of its services. He was quite rude when I started asking him questions and kept telling me that was not his department.
If anyone else is contacted by this company I would advise you to do some research before making any decisions or comitments.

Wasn't C&C Music Factory a group from the 80's?

You must have bumped your head to think (smart) people will believe your load of crap. Either that or you must be really high.

Judging by your spelling and grammar I would say that you absolutely ARE on pills and he should have given you a job. I think you should sue.
