Jim Firelli represents himself as a senior broker with Elite Corporate Funding. He tries to get people to sign up with his company as either an affiliate or vendor. Of course there is a fee to sign up. Usually 3-5k and as high as 7k. This is supposed to give you access to funding sources for you to refer clients to. Of course all of this is B.S. Jim (or James) is running a total scam! He gives you a very elaborate and convincing story about how easy they can fund business lines of credit and how much money they can make using something called a credit partner. But its all a sham. Dont send this guy any money! There is no Elite Corporate Funding. None of the phone numbers check out. They have no employees and they are operating from a virtual office in Vegas. His M.O. is to convince you of this great program, but as soon as you ask questions, to get mad and insulted. Hoping you will just go along with his scam. After getting signed up as an affiliate (and paying $5k) he tried to get me to wire money to the company on behalf of my clients. The problem was that no one from the "company" ever responded to emails or calls. The reason is that there is no company. It was all a fabrication that Jim Firelli put together to get you to wire large somes of money. Stay away from him and his company at www.elitecorporatefunding.com Mark M
