    "...whatever it is you do."  Well, I would think by now you know that 800notes is here so people who receive unknown/spam/scam calls can pool their experiences so that others might have an idea of who is actually calling.  That IS the whole reason for this forum.

    As far as badmouthing any particular company, I believe a poster above commented and gave a large list of GSA 1000's many affiliate names, so it's not just "one" company.  Regulars here add what they've found out about companies in the hope that it helps consumers make an informed decision, after doing their own due diligence.

    As to a company who will help you with a GSA schedule, I'm not sure why you haven't already gone to: http://www.gsa.gov/portal/category/100000.  They may be able to help you, and if not, I'm sure they could point you in the right direction.

    Not Interested
    these guys tried to hire me earlier this year.

    after I saw the operation, which by the way is in oldsmar, florida, they are a joke.

    every body is in 2 buildings. I thought it was odd that I was being hired for a virginia company but going to florida for training at first, now i know why.

    everyone should steer clear from these scam artists.

    Sorry, but I have been in business 40 years and I dont lie for anyone!!!  My GSA Contract is # GS03F002AA for Garza enterprises Inc.  Now I dont know you from adam and I normally dont bother with these posts because I don't have the time!!

    But in my case when a company (sending this email)  wants to sell you something at the expense of someone esle----well it would be an injustice to have that happen without you knowing all the facts!  That's not to say that not everyone like me is happy with the service.  It's just that I AM!!

    Ofie Garza replies to Willow
    No I received an e-mail solicting my business from a company called Market US!! The email basically indicates that they would secure a GSA schedule for me because GSA Applications probably took my money (as they have done to many others) and the email includes all these postings from each and everyone of you!  I found it extremely intertersting that Market US provides this information plus theri pricing schedule for me to buy from them) so I checked it out and found it to be distrubing that Market US wants my business and in order to get it they are bad mouthing GSA Applications.  

    Whether there's validity to their comemnts or sales pitch, I don't know!  I am simply saying that GSA Applications did in fact secure a GSA Contract for my company.  That's all!!  

    And in fact this is my last response as I really don't have to prove anything to anyone.  You need to check it out for yourself.

    Ofie Got Screwed
    Ofie
    Look at the list of their clients (which you say now includes you).  Then go to the federal procurement data system and look at how 95% of them have never made a dime because of the shotty work they did in securing those contracts.  I'm being nice saying 95%, it may be worse but I got tired of looking after searching through their entire 2011 of supposed successes.  Market US has single clients that have earned more than ALLLLLL of GSA App's clients combined!  Your not out of the woods yet sir.  Good luck to you.  I bet that they told you that they guaranteed your revenue too.  You will NEVER get that payment out of them when your contract gets cancelled for non performance.  Face it Ofie.  Your screwed.  

    By the way Ofie.  I looked you up myself.  You got your contract last September and haven't made a dime with the government since.  As a matter of fact, you were doing better with the federal world BEFORE you got your contract than after.  Why is that Ofie?  Why is it that you were at least getting some business from fed before but now you aren't even getting a nibble?  Think on that for a while.  

    Address those points sir after doing your research and then come back here to defend their good name if you still feel like it.

    I just got a call from a Kenneth Henderson - phone 615-457-8276
    Although this number is a VOIP number in Nashville, TN, he did say that the firm was based in Florida.
    I got the same talk - for a mere $7500 they would offer a "guarantee of sales"

    Their website is http://contractawardservices.com

    They provide help with the application process 200-800 page - depending  on the area and price negotiating -

    One time investment $7500 - guarantee of sales
    He couldn't answer questions about whether they are licensed since he just in the appointment setting department.  

    I said I would have to check them out before I would give them any information.  The whole thing sounded bogus.  Thanks for posting!

    This is regarding 202-756-1825, United Consulting Specialists, Washington, D.C., Mike Perillo per their own misleadings: http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/unite ... -227205941.html

    Some of you may know that his last name is altered with a couple of letters and the news release says that they got some award.

    You too can pay to have this award.

    Unfortunately this "company is not in D.C., their Regus Office is but they are actually located at you know where: Oldsmar, Florida.

    I know there are a lot of other numbers that they use and a lot of other company names but this has got to be one of the lowest levels for a business.

    On top of the people changing their names, Jason Davis, Gail Loewen, Mike Perillo, Cathy Vernon, Angelica Anderson, the list goes on-this wouldn't be slander since these people do not truly exist within the umbrella of the Oldsmar group.

    These are the GSA Schedule poeple that everyone should be quite familiar with by now.  Just wanted to share a little update to the lies and scams that people are sinking to.

    Flood Google with a bunch of bogus news and hopefully, people won't be able to link back to the gsa applications people. Let's keep opening new virtual offices and lying to the consumer.

    When a company, and I mean A company, does not take enough care to tell you, the consumer, the truth then why should you spend your hard earned money with a liar.

    Those of you that do spend your money with those crooks, I'd hate to say that I told you so.

    Did I work there? For a short time, yes. Did I leave or get fired? I left on my own until I found out what was really going on.

    They will come back and say, "see, it's a disgruntled ex-employee," just to turn you away from the truth.

    Do you need proof of theri misdealings? you can look through the threads on this wonderful sight and many others.

    Regus should really be ashamed to let a company use them like this. I would hate to think that Regus is simply all about the money with no real morals.

    Sound familiar? Before anyone goes through with trying to get on Schedule, everything that those "companies" do is able to be done 100% free of charge.

    Just a quick fact for government contractors: they tell you that a Schedule Contract is so important...what they don't tell you are the true numbers, amounts and percentages that are being spent through these contracts.

    They have numerous agreements for services and those customers do not even have a contract yet. Excuse after excuse after excuse is what these people get.

    I'm sure this will piss some people off but I really don't care. Enough with the lies already.

    The Advisory Organization is another one of their shells, in Oldsmar, physically.
    Capital Finance Group is another one of their shells, in Oldsmar, physically.

    Might as well add these numbers too:
    703-649-3895
    301-355-0606

    GSA = General Services Administration
    GSA provides infrastructure support to federal agencies and keeps schedules of contracts with vendors which provide what those agencies need. I liken the GSA Schedule to a mail order catalog full of items from different sources, only the relationship is more complex.

    For Businesses: Working with GSA
    http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/105199

    Business vendors seeking a GSA contract apparently endure a tough process, which a certain company using endless aliases and DBA names purports to assist so well that its clients can't fail. Well, holding a hunting license and bringing home a pelt are two different things. The former may enable but will not ensure the latter.
