Anybody familiar with UCan2Opportunity out of Florida?

I am researching a job with them and can't find out much about this outfit. They advertise as a 501(3) Non Profit. Its a company to help clean up people's debt. For a fee. They claim to actually be able to fix people's credit scores - without them even paying off the bad debt. It's a loophole in the system.

But this sounds really fishy to me. They claim that the people involved in the debt couseling can make "big" bucks. I just am having trouble seeing how.

1. My advice: if they want money from you, stay away.

These people want money from you upfront, and it sounds like a scam. I'd forget about them.

Oh, here's an article talking about this kind of scam becoming more common.

3. Credit "fixing" ... Florida ... stay away.

Lots of financial scams run in FL because of the elderly population there. If it sounds fishy, it is.

4. Second that.

Do not, repeat NOT, have anything to do with those people. They actully make it worse for many of the poor suckers who go to them for help.
