08/05/2010

DENVER ? Colorado Attorney General John Suthers announced today that an Arapahoe County District Court judge has ordered Tyrone E. Tymkovich (DOB: 12/30/1967) of Aurora to pay $160,000 after he violated a Feb. 18, 2010 order barring him from soliciting businesses as a broker.

According to the contempt judgment, Tymkovich admitted to continuing to solicit businesses using the alias ?Adam Smith? for a New Jersey based company, HDI Consultants.  The contempt judgment permanently bars Tymkovich from continuing any solicitation or sales of his broker services. Tymkovich also admitted to failing to make proper disclosures while acting as a business broker, including that ?the likelihood of (Tymkovich) selling a business is less than one out of a hundred based on past performance? and ?that [Tymkovich?s] company has generated more than $2.8 million in revenue from monies collected for valuations, yet it has earned less than $100,000 from actual sales of businesses.?

The Office of the Attorney General filed a lawsuit against Tymkovich, and Sam Levine (DOB: 2/1/1967) of Castle Rock on suspicion that they, through their two Englewood-based businesses, defrauded more than 700 businesses in Colorado and other states between July 2006 and September 2009. According to the complaint, Tymkovich, Levine or their employees at Englewood-based Corporate Acquisitions Group and Englewood-based Global Acquisitions Group would approach small businesses and inform them that either buyers were interested in acquiring their firms or their businesses could be sold. Tymkovich, Levine and their employees are accused of convincing more than 700 businesses in Colorado and other states to allow them to conduct an appraisal of their business for $5,000. Of the $5,000 Tymkovich and Levine?s businesses collected from their clients, only about $1,000 of the fee was actually devoted to completing the appraisals.

Tymkovich and Levine also are alleged to given the clients a money-back guarantee in the event of no sale occurring. However, Tymkovich and Levine only followed through when a business complained to either the Better Business Bureau or the authorities, according to the complaint.

Beware. HDI Consulting and Bizbuy123 has been linked to Ty Tymkovich. Ty was recently charged by the CO attorney general of defrauding 700 businesses. See www.tytymkovich.com for more info. If you have done business with this company, please contact the CO attorney general's office.

PLEASE CONTACT THE COLORADO AG, if you have done any business with this company.  The individuals involved are currently under investigation for defrauding over 700 businesses over the last two years as Corporate Acquisitions Group, and Global Acquisitions, under the control of a known felon, Tyrone Tymkovich.

Got a call, didn't answer.. Called back and got the same vm as described above..

We recevied a call from HDI and man by the name of Jim Killroy stating he had buyers intereseted in buying our business and asked us to call him.
The phone number was from NJ.   I figured the best way to know if this is ligit was t o google it!  I am glad I did as it appears it is a sam.
Thank you all for reporting this.

You may be on a no call list and this is thier way of getting around the no call feature, since they could claim that you called them

contacted the bbb out there to check on the bridewater/bridgeport thing. she seemed totally bored with my calling and read over the phone what was on the web site.

they sent an email late last night (after I asked about the inconsistencies) saying I was just too small of a business for them.

I agree with the others, if this is not a scam, it does not sound totally legit. Shabby web site, incorrect addresses, fly-by-night location, and strange phone techniques.

There is nothing for me to file a complaint about, just a lot of small inconsistancies, so their A+ rating is intact.

Just checking back in. I've talked to a David Rosenthal with HDI whose phone ID says David Silverman. That name appeared on the internet as having been removed from a business broker account.

When I asked why the difference, he said David Silverman USED to own HDI, but J Davis owned it now. I think I'll call tomorrow and ask.

The addy they give (1200 Rt 22 E in NJ) is a "rent an office"/"rent a cubicle" bldg owned by HQ.com. And the download form on bizbuy123.com (with bizbuy at the top) says they are in Bridgewater NJ 08807, the forms they emailed me (HDI at the top) says they are in Bridgeport, NJ 08807.

Maybe just a scam to get you to buy a Fair Market Analysis from them for $3500 ?? (plus a 10% commission when the business sells)

Got a call at 9:09 pm. When I answered there was a recorded message apologizing for calling the wrong number and that I could call 877-281-6343 and put in pin number 1662 to be removed from the list. Seems like a way to harvest numbers and get around the latest do not call restrictions.

received this call on my office phone 10/05/09 10:31pm

This company does exist and has an excellent rating BBB This is no Jim Kilroy mentioned there

Similar call as described.  They give a number to call, and a PIN.  Sounds pretty hoaxy!

now I'm confused. Check w/BBB site http://www.bbb.org/new-jersey/business-review ... ter-nj-29005452

They appear legit. A+ rating. No complaints in last 26 months. In business since 1994. etc etc etc.

My biz isn't even in BBB and I know I'm real.

Won't believe this still until the money is in my hands.

I got a call like this a few weeks ago. Called back and left a message (twice). Got a follow-up phone call with additional info. Following day I got another follow-up (probably from the second message)

Since I wouldn't mind selling, they set up a follow-up appt. Should happen next week to establish a selling price. I'll have a better idea then. Unless I call the BBB and see whats up.

Jim Kilroy @ 646-873-6851. Message on voicemail indicated he worked for "HDI" or BizBuy.com. Said he had someone in my area interested in buying my business. Did not return call.

Received a call from 646-873-6851 (verified later)-- when I said hello a recording immediately stated "we are sorry to have called your number in error please call this number (I didn't make a note of the number) and enter a PIN to be removed from our list".  Interestingly enough our second line rang simultaneously with the first.  Same recording.  Did not comply.  Something  very very suspicious here!

I accidentally answered the call without looking at the caller ID - heard a "click" - so they just hung up when I answered.  Truly annoying because I was anticipating an important phone call. Went back and checked the caller ID and it showed "New York" - what happened to "do not call"???

Received call from Jim Kilroy from HDI or something like that while I was out of office and wanted to know if I was interested in selling business.  Called back and was unable to leave a message.  I have had same phone number for several years and 9 months ago rolled that number to Charter Communications as part of their Bundle with cable and internet.  Any correlation with others?  Something fishy here.

Same, Jim Killroy looking for business to sell, if you want off the list call a different number. 9-16-09 7;00 pm

same MO, what is the scam since I'm on the no call list?

I had a voice mail on my hard line today and it also requested that I use pin # 1662 and said something about wanting to purchase my business.

I received a call just five minutes ago from said number 646-873-6851. It was almost 10 pm. The recording said, sorry, your number was called in error.  Then they proceeded to give me a number to csll if I wish to be removed. I simply hung up.          ,

Voicemail message from 646-873-6851 just leaving the 1662 pin number but with no explaination or inducement to call back. Glad I checked.

RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THIS NUMBER 646-873-6581, AND A RECORDED MESSAGE STATED:
"SORRY WE CALL AN INCORRECT NUMBER, IF YOUR WISH TO BE REMOVED FROM OUR CALLING LIST, PLEASE CALL THE FOLLOWING NUMBER....."  Needles to say I did not call this number as it is a waste of my time and they are violating the DO NOT CALL LIST.

Receieved a call on our answering machine from a Jim Killroy said he represented buyers, wanted to know if we wanted to sell he had someone interested.  To be removed call 1-877-281-6343 enter pin number..

We got the same call last night..they had a client interested in buying our buisness and to call the 877 number enter a pin to be removed...weird!

got a call saying it was Jim Killroy, looking to purchase businesses like mine. if i want to be removed from the list call 877-281-6343 and pin #1662 to be removed. Appear to be phishing for active phone numbers.

I just got the exact same call.  It asked me to call a number and put a pin.  It did not reference who it was except that is was wrong number and call the 877 and put a pin to be removed from the list.  It sounds like some form of scam...
