SAM DIRECTORY and MAJOR HOLDINGS are tied to the same person

I thought I was actually registering on the Sam.gov website. I didn't realize that this was a scam until I uploaded the notarized documents and then the website takes you to a "Select A Payment Plan" screen and then you are locked out without anymore access to your information. I tried calling the number on the notarized letter (408) 418-8433 and it goes straight to voicemail so I googled the Entity Administrator Named on the notarized letter: Major Robertson and discovered that he is the founder of MajorHoldings.com a company that is in Louisville, Ky.

The Third Party Agent Designation on the notarized form I uploaded is listed as [email protected] when you look at his team on Majorholdings.com he has a Tiffany listed as Administrative/HR Assistant.

This company say that they, Buy Online Businesses.

"Major Holdings buys online businesses using a mix of private equity, leveraged buyouts, and asset based loans.

Owned and operated on a personal, yet professional level
Maintain each business with updates and new approaches
Unique and tailored approach to each and every business."

This worries me because they have my EIN number as well as my Duns Number. I filed a complaint on my Duns number with Federal Trade Commission and I filed a Complaint on my EIN number with the IRS just in case they try to use it for fraudulent activity. I also filed a compliant with my bank just in case. I want them to remove all of my information from their database.

Unfortunately, this company got me too. I'm sickened by this and the $597 that was taken from me. Like everyone else's experiences, the same thing happened to me. In September 2021 I submitted all of the requested documentation along with the $597. I received a notification that my application will be approved in 20 business days. That notification is still posted on the website as of today, December 13, 2021. I have not received any additional approvals, I have emailed multiple times and even looked up the Founder, Michael Murry-he is nowhere to be found or at least not the same CEO & Founder of Sam Directory, LLC. No one has responded to my emails and I am out of $597. Furthermore, my credit card information is still listed on the site for renewal next September. Obviously, I am going to have to take more aggressive measures. I am extremely sad and disappointed that there are such scam companies on the internet banking on desires to grow our businesses.

Have you had any breaches of your account ?

I shared my information with the Sam Directory too. The official government site warns of us this type of SCAM. I had no way to delete my sensitive information, and then was ask to pay a 597.00 dollar fee. However, the government doesn't charge you for these contracts. I am unclear what this business actually does, but steal your personal information and make you pay for it. Next, I am now receiving Fake emails and calls for prospective clients. So, SAM has stolen my company identity and doesn't allow you to go back and erase the information. If SAM was honest or legit why can't I change any information in my dashboard. In there policies there is nothing that outlines our protection as consumers. I am very upset! I am also embarrassed. I was warned. Please make sure you check the URLs. I can't believe I willfully gave up my sentitive information to scammers. Now, I have to protect myself and my minority owned business from misleading people. I am just trying to make an honest living. #why are people out to get me #I never did anything to deserve this theft!

I am a victim of this as well. Once the information was submitted there was no way to go back and edit information or request a deletion. Clicking "dashboard" only took me to the page where it requested $597 to complete the process, which I did not do. I contacted the number on the notary form and the Operator couldn't help but said that someone, potentially Major (who is listed as the admin), would contact me. It's sad because I gave them all the information they needed to hack, including the Notary, signed form. This is tragic.
I would like my information Deleted

Complaint: SAM.Directory

I was under the impression that this was a free registration for SAM.GOV. I thought you had to register here first. Then a credit card was requested. I did not submit that information. I was registering for two different accounts. When I became aware that this is not the SAM.GOV that I had originally started. I asked that you delete my information out for your database and please respond when it is complete. Major You do not have my permission to use any of my information for your personal or professional use. The notarized letter is null and void, due to the misleading contents on your website. It's similar nature to the SAM. GOV website. Do not sell my information to anyone. I haven't received any response yet. I am not sure how long it takes but, I will continue to follow up. This is very misleading and deceptive. Major You are not authorized as my Entity Administrator and have no authorization to manage any legal contracts with or for my company. Major Robertson You are not appointed to manage any records or registrations nor are you associated with any users with my company.

BUSINESSES BEWARE! SAM Directory (sam.directory) sent me an email stating my "SAM registration is still incomplete" when it was not. This was a misleading and inaccurate statement that they had NO authority to make, leading me away from work that needed to be done. SAM Directory thrives on other people's success as SAM registration is a free process. SAM Directory feeds on people's vulnerability through misguided and incomplete information; trying to charge them for a free service already paid for through our tax dollars. BUSINESSES BEWARE!

I'm a victim of this scam. I'm embarrassed to say I paid $597 to register and not heard from them since. I can't delete my information from their fake dashboard. I just submitted a fraud dispute with my credit card company. I tried calling the number that I have on file and it's a google number. This site should be removed from the internet and prevent anymore victims.

Poses as a registration for SAM, for which businesses apply for government grants. Accepts all the same info as the SAM.gov site would require, and then asks for yearly payment and won't let you access your account again, and will not confirm deletion of all of that secure information. It's a scam and seems to not only be trying to get you to purchase a fake subscription, but also potentially harvest sensitive information.

Hello,

SAM Directory is very transparent that we are a 3rd party that assists with the SAM registration process.

Yes, we collect the same information so that we can register for you. Our application process is streamlined comparatively. The process to get your application approved afterward can take 10-20 business days with many potential errors that can come up along the way. We manage all of that for you on the backend.

We put no restrictions on accessing your account.

We delete all information whenever requested and send an email confirmation. We do not sell or do anything else with your information other than with SAM.

If there are any questions we can help with please feel free to reach out. We'd also be glad to confirm your information was deleted.
