CORE's Website Warning & Text Messages to its Clients Should Be Enough to Steer Clear.

UPDATE: After publication of this post over 50+ people have reached out to me that lost their money and some had lost their home. I want to hear from you so please contact me.

I was speaking to one of the victims of CORE Advisory Group and during our phone conversation, this client receives a text message from CORE warning about me (which by the way, they claim I am a disgruntled employee. about me), that I would be committing a felonious act by sending out text messages/emails/phone calls in an attempt to scare & deceive all of their clients and it's a scam so report this to them immediately. 

They even referenced the California Penal Code Regarding Annoying Phone Calls under Penal Code 653 (m) PC on their website. You can read the CA Penal Code 653 (m) and if you still feel, that I have broken this law, it is your right under the laws to report me to the authorities right away. (This is a misdemeanor by the way.) read about their poor attempt to silence me with a "Cease & Desist" letter

Owner of CORE Devin Benter leaves a voice broadcast warning when you call their toll free # 877-242-5699

Under CORE Advisory Group, Devin Benter uses an alias of David Clarke, Jennifer Delrio of CORE & Colleagues in Law, both using two different emails.

For all "Colleagues in Law" victims, here is proof, Devin Benter (owner) still has his email active for "Colleagues in Law" 08/17/2016 so go get'em FOLKs!!!

If you have been following my blog since day one, you should know by now the truth about Devin Benter who is the same owner of "Colleagues in Law" which he later dissolved once our companies merged under "CORE Advisory Group" name. He methodically masterminded a persuasive proposition in order to convince me to partner up with him and allow him to merge his old company "Colleagues in Law" and his staff with mines, and together we would operate just under my company name "CORE Advisory Group" that I originally started and created last year on April 29th, 2015, and later separated with the company on March 31st, 2016. Thank god. Info on CIL & CORE

Now lets focus on the topic at hand. Devin Benter who is now the sole owner of "CORE Advisory Group Svcs", that operated the same business model under the name of "Colleagues in Law" before dismantling it, tried to outwit me by posting on his website full of terrifying messages to warn the public to be prepare that they will be getting a phone/email/text messages from me that will scare and deceive their clients.

I am going to pause right here and let's review this for a second. "Scare & Deceive" their clients. Scare? Who wouldn't be scared once they find out that the company they have hired is actually breaking the law? Deceive? What benefits would I gain from deceiving anyone at this point by exploiting the ILLEGAL activities that CORE Advisory Group Svcs and its owner Devin Benter is conducting?

According to the Federal Trade Commission, and a few State Regulatory Agencies, even our local Enforcement Division that I have been collaborating & cooperating with can attest to my statement that I am about to make. THE OPERATION IS ILLEGAL!!! 

Now let me ask you this, if a company was legitimate and operating within the legal boundaries;

• A) Is it necessary to change company name THREE times in less than 2 years? (Colleagues in Law, LC dissolved 06/30/2015, CORE Advisory Group & soon Consumer Dispute Group, all owned by Devin Benter all functioning & operating under the same business model as each other.) Read about the name changes
• B) Why did the State of Washington just settled with Devin Benter on 09/30/2016 when he was operating under "Colleagues in Law" for a total of $45,000 in restitution which will be used to pay back to the 12 victims from the State of Washington for mortgage related violation? Feel free to verify this with Washington State Department of Finance Enforcement Division for the State of Washington (360) 902-0517. Or contact the State of Texas that issued the Cease & Desist order against CORE Advisory Group, at (512) 475-1870, just to name a few. Texas Cease & Desist Order or  State of WA Restitution (Awaiting Site Post)
• C) Why didn't Devin Benter reach out to any of his clients (via phone, email, mail) that enrolled prior to March 31st, 2016 that a new LLC has been changed to "CORE Advisory Group Svcs, LLC" and "CORE Advisory Group, LLC" is no longer active, but instead ignored it and if something went wrong tells either the clients that is unsatisfied/unhappy or the authorities that I was the sole owner and responsible party they should go after and the only reason he is involved is because I had abandoned my clients, my staff, all case files, and ran off with all the money and in good grace Devin was around to save everyone and continue business as usual? (I hope he isn't sticking to this story in front of the jury.) Read about it here
• D) A reputable company at the very least would update all its clients of any new changes to the company. Something as simple as informing them of their new physical address once they have relocated? (Current physical address and ONLY location at 2125 E. Katella Ave. Suite 330, Anaheim, CA. 92806, the other two addresses on their website is just a maildrop.) Read about hiding their real address
• E) Most of you already know, one of CORE's payment option is accepting POST-DATED checks, in order to spread CORE's service fees and have it deposited at a later scheduled date as agreed to the term of the service. Prior to my separation back on March 31st, 2016 a handful of clients had already enrolled and handed us POST-DATED checks to hold for their future payments. There will be some if not more clients will attest to this disturbing revelation that any written checks that were post-dated on or after March 31st, 2016 or beyond April 1st, 2016, those checks were "ALTERED" by adding "Scvs" next to the originally written CORE Advisory Group to reflect the new LLC change of "CORE Advisory Group Svcs" and they made this alteration without the clients knowledge or consent. Not a smart move on Devin's part so this will be interesting to see what the charges will be brought against him on this matter.
• F) A reputable company would have filed all proper business licensing & registration with all the state and local offices. CORE Advisory Group is registered as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in the State of Utah with no physical location or office space in Utah, but their income is derived in the State of California, with their address and physical office space located solely in California only. Here is some business 101, if your company is a Corporation or LLC that is registered outside of California, however the Corporation or LLC is generating income in California and domiciled in California, therefore, you are required to register your Corporation or LLC as a Foreign Business Entity in the State of California with the Secretary of State of California. CA Business Search "CORE Advisory Group" Not Registered
• G) If this business is for profit and is required to comply with the Federal Trade Commission MARS Rule (Mortgage Assistance Relief Services) than why are they collecting fees upfront, which according to the rule, makes it illegal to charge upfront fees until you deliver and the customer agrees to a written offer of mortgage relief from the customer's lender or servicer. The Rule defines "mortgage assistance relief service" as a service, plan, or program that is represented, expressly or by implication, to help homeowners prevent or postpone foreclosure or help them get other kinds of relief, like loan modifications, forbearance agreements, short sales, deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure, or extensions of time to cure defaults or reinstate loans. The Rule applies whether you work directly with consumers' lenders or servicers to get mortgage relief or you offer services to help consumers do it on their own (for example, by conducting a "forensic audit" or other review of consumers' loan documents). How are they breaking the law?

So, now that you know what you need to know about CORE Advisory Group and its owner Devin Benter and if you still feel comfortable and safe doing business with them, that is the risk you will have to take, in my opinion, if someone gave me this many warning shots, I be running for the hills no hesitation. Consider this a fair and accurate Warning!

And for those of you whom already fell victim to CORE Advisory Group or Colleagues in Law, go here quick and let's get the enforcement authorities to stop this company and owner Devin Benter from preying on other folks.
