I’ve received several calls over the past six months from business owners warning me about the latest incarnation of the Burgess / Buffalo Grove scam. They say that the brand names are now GPS and ABS and this time it’s John Burgess’ son Tyler Burgess at the helm. The tactics, however, appear to be the same:
A GPS or ABS representative cold calls or stops by a small- or mid-sized private business.
The GPS/ABS rep convinces the business owner to accept a brief meeting.
The GPS/ABS rep gets the business owner to agree to let an expert “analyze the business” for just a few hundred dollars. Invariably, the “business analysis” concludes that the business is faltering.
