Jimbo Has Been Shut Down
I was curious as to the current state of affairs related to James "Jimbo" Patterson. If you read any of my earlier posts you remember that Jimbo is the owner of New Leaf Associates, LLC, a firm that claims it can erase your debt and improve your credit score. They offered to do this for a fee of $4,000 to $6,000.As you might have guessed, this was a scam. I did a search on Google and found a couple of recent articles. In one article Jimbo says that he has stopped taking new clients. He also stated the he will pay back the clients and eliminate their debt. It is estimated that he collected $8,000,000 dollars from people that were desperate to get out of debt. When asked if he still has the $8,000,000 he said:
"I don't have that all in my possession. We've got mechanisms in place to take care of it."
I don't know what mechanisms ol' Jimbo has in place now but one he used early in the year was offering "guaranteed" signups to PIPS. For $300 he would give you 10 signups for which you would receive the fast start bunuses, etc. It would have been a great deal since you immediately got your money back from those programs.
Unfortunately for the people that ordered these signups Jimbo never delivered. Seems one scam was not enough!
And now the Florida Attorney General has slapped Jimbo with an injunction to cease offering debt elimination services and to take down his web sites.
