I just received a call from a representative from Absolute REO Solutions. There is a $295 fee associated with their 'service'. Does anyone know if this is legit or if it's a scam? I'd hate to throw away nearly 300 bucks.

I recieved a call on Saturday same speil $295- supposedly they just got the Wells Fargo Account in my area. I think I will Pass. Anyone from Wells Fargo can you confirm this?
I tried them. No listing in a year BUT, they did refund the fee I paid. So, while they did not come up with any business for us, at least they did not keep the fees.

Hi Franklin,
Can I borrow $295 for a year if I promise to pay it back in 1 year interest free:)
I have been with them for nearly a year. I have had 1 BPO from them, that i recieved the day i joined. But since then i havnt heard anything, and decided to try to get my refund. They told me i need to wait 2 more months before i can get my money back. I personally think they are a scam, since i talked to many REO agents that say they have heard of the company, but where informed not to join, as well as i was informed that many people forget about the refund, so they still profit from the 300.
I signed up with them in January hope for some work. I got 1 BPO near my office for $50 which I completed. They property that I did the BPO on is set to go to auction next week. We will if the lender takes it back or if it sells. If it sell they claim that I will get the listing. We shall see. If not I am asking for a full refund.

I am interested to know what made you decide to sign up and pay the fee's to to company? Did you do any research on this company before committing? If so did the results that you found not set off Red Flags? I ask only because this has been going on for a while now and mostly ever other week or month there is somo poor soul who falls for the promise of listings/reo's and gives their money away.
Heck , just this post dates back to Sept of 2009......

I didn't sign up. I told the rep that I would check out the company before making a decision. I remembered reading something about them that was negative. When I researched it I found the Sept '09 post that I replied to.
