I was actually in the process of signing up with this company when I googled a phone number that I missed and came accross this post. It saved me from wasting money on them and my time! Thanks Shane for the info.

Don't spend your $350 when the scam from BankerREO.com comes along.  I wasn't paying good attention and I fell for this one, be aware of the scam by this name or any other.

I was contacted by BankerREO.com to sign up for BPO and REO Assignments, for a $345 annual membership fee.  In hindsight, I did a WHOIS search for this company's website and it shows that it was created on June 14, 2011, and they are based out of Illinois!  There website address is: www.bankerreo.com  Does anyone have any experiences that they would like to share with this one?

The lady I dealt with was named Jessica Necomb, her phone number was 847-454-7889, and she used the email address jnewcomb@bankerreo.com.  I also dealt with Alex Fulman at afulman@bankerreo.com.  They had me fill out w-9 forms and pretty standard looking reo lisitng agreement for the 30 or so zip codes they stated I would be their representative in.

They went as far as to request a drive by appraisal from me on a property that was a short sale.  That was over two months ago and still no paycheck as promised.  The website interface was much like many of the valid REO asset manager webistes I have worked with.

So as always, buyer beware! and Don't spend your $350 when the scam from BankerREO.com comes along.

Find me any way you stay connected!

Joe, I was duped by the same scam in July... and fell for it.

When by Aug I hadn't rec'd any assignments, I finally woke up and smelled the coffee. So I noitified me credit card company. They suspended the charge and opened a fraud investigation.

Well, low and behold, BankerREO immediately sent me a BPO - in NEW JERSEY. I live in LOUISIANA. Naturally I rejected the offer. They then notified my credit card company that I had rejected an offer (and supplied a printout), and the charge was back on my account.

So I have now reopened the case with my card company - CITI. I will win or I will pay out the card, all but $349, and close the account. So don't give up, Joe. Keep fighting.
