I notice he hasn't posted in a while....however...
.....paying him to set up a duns number. You can do it for youself for free.....
This is true, navigate the maze to get the back end done... There are companies that actually charge 5-700 bucks for this service.
so to say he is scamming because you can set a DUNS account for free..he only jumped on a band wagon.
I have my own issues with the guy, this is not the place to air the dirty laundry.
Not sure how many of you have applied for a DUNS, do it and see how fast your in box fills with offers from companies wanting to assist with the back end.
That said.
No question he has a vendetta against the industry.

I think it took me 10 minutes to set up my duns number. Then he sends out emails claiming it takes 150 a month to run his WordPress website. You can run a WordPress website for a year for that.


He rants against NAMFS for not accomplishing anything in the industry but his IAFST has not accomplished anything either. With his people skills, it will never accomplish anything either.

I can just tell by the spam he sends out that for the most part he is full of **** in my opinion.

Do you have a SAMS account???

Do you have a SAMS account???

PS...I have a DUNS account...it doesn't get me work

Do you have a SAMS account???

Yes I have DUNS and SAMS did both at the same time.

Yes I have DUNS and SAMS did both at the same time.

PS. I did both and cost me zero dollars.

In my opinion, Paul Williams, or whatever his name is running a grift. He is no different than NAFMS. He is trying to con people into sending him donations so he can continue his personal vendetta. He uses big words to try to fool people into thinking he knows what he is talking about. Seen it from tons of people before. I know a con when I see one. Just my opinion if you want to throw money away sending this nut money go for it. It is a free country.

So you have all the correct NAICS attached to you SAMS account???
All I'm saying is there are companies out there that charge for the services...you didn't start receiving emails as soon as you set the SAMS account up??
Look I have my own issues with the guy...but to say he is conning folks for charging a fee for this ...there are others out there doing the same and they are expensive, I have no clue what his fees are...

Yes, I have all the correct NACIS attached to my SAMS account. It was very simple. I did receive a few phone calls but it was for contracts that were way too big for my small company.

I am not saying it is a con for just charging for DUNS and SAMS. It is all things put together. He spams contractors constantly asking for money to run his servers, It doesn't take that much money to run servers. He claims to be a hacker I know for a fact he can not hack anything. He claims to be former military intelligence. I have very serious doubts about that claim.

In my experience, if someone tries to say they are something they most likely are not what they claim. If you have to tell someone you are something you are most likely full of it. If you truly are something everyone knows you are and you don't have to tell anyone.

Lastly, his joke of a union has not accomplished one price increase ever to my knowledge.

Union???? You talking about the IAFST thing???
My understanding from a guy out here...he flips properties for hedge fund people that he was connected with via IAFST...he has bever said anything about a Union.

This is just me..I moved away from the industry #I I sued FAS & AMS #2 we made a conscience decision not to carry a contract. Whether said contract (WO) was for 2 day or 30 days let alone 30+ days. When I decided to focus more on business and media we backed out all together. However, our last clients, we would invoice at 8AM by 1PM we had our fee deposited.
That is the difference between working the private sector and a pyramided industry. When we worked directly with FNMA our margins were 31-35% per invoice...with an NAMFS member our margins fell 20% or lower per WO...
One thing I have always done is work with SCORE and I have always suggested...highly recommend...contacting your local SCORE office ad participate in their conferences. They are some of the best business minds around.
I got involved as I saw my father use them. They helped me with Business Plan ( now I assist) they helped me with every chart analysis ( now I assist) Every Business 101 production I have made was one of their classes.
When Aladay Organic farms won it's first Small Farm Award at one of their success events.
for the record...I still clean properties just not for NAMFS Members....
This is part of my next project that is under snow right now!

Yes, I was referring to the IAFST thing. I thought he was selling it as a union but I could have misunderstood. Either way, I do not trust the guy. After telling him what I thought he was doing he went ape sh__t.

I am doing commercial properties and work for a couple of NAMFS nationals. The pricing sucks but it keeps me busy when I have no commercial property work going on.
