What Argus catches

โš  Case study โ€” Do Not Approve
National FM Broker โ€” Northeast US

This vendor claimed to be a self-performing FM company with 3,500 employees operating nationwide. Argus found the company registered in a different state than their claimed headquarters as a foreign corporation. Their listed address is a confirmed virtual office. A registered agent and one officer were identified on the state filing. Domain set to expire within 2 weeks with all 4 client locks active. 22 Reddit threads including multiple scam mentions. 3 BBB complaints on file. Only 20 employees visible on LinkedIn despite national scale claims. Two virtual office addresses found โ€” one in New York, one in Los Angeles.
