Consulting Connections

We paid for services and unfortunately they never came back with any results, weeks of no response. Still no refund or delivery of the services.
BEWARE - FRAUDULENT COMPANY ALERT - As echoed in the previous reviews, we have had a similar experience with this "firm", and I use that term loosely. In my over 30 years experience in the financial industry and as a Certified Financial Planner, my experience with Consulting Connections, LLC, DBA Retirement Plan Ratings, and with Mr *** our sales representative, has been less than professional. We paid for a service and nothing has been received in return. After courteously asking for our paid for results, and getting little to no communication in return, we are now initiating claims of fraudulent activity against this company. We will be filing formal complaints to the retirement plan institutes as well on this matter. I encourage everyone to do your due diligence before pursuing any relationship with this company.

marketing and email issues. Email them to stop and they won't. They will not answer their phones either. I do not believe they are real people.
Company has been notified multiple (over a dozen) times to take me off their marketing email list. Two of their employees have been emailing myself and others in my office and will not stop after repeated pleas to stop. Names of folks emailing are *** and ***. They go under the name retirement plan ratings.

Received a cold sales call, said no thank you, and then asked to be removed from list. She said "no, I won't do that you are not the fiduciary."
I received a cold sales call from XXX-XXX-XXXX. The woman on the phone said she was ready to schedule my independent audit of our 401k plan. I said "no thank you, we don't do independent audits." She said "Why not." I said "it doesn't matter, please take us off this call list." She said "No, I won't do that." I said "You have to by law, I said take us off this call list." She said, "I won't do that, you are not the fiduciary." I said "I will report you to the Revdex.com." She said "Go ahead." I called her a not-nice name and hung up. She promptly called back, and I did not pick up the call.

They are very aggressive and scare you by mentioning your trustee (in our case Fidelity). They say you MUST have a 338 advisor and are required to have a plan review or risk being in non-compliance with the DOL. They don't make it sound optional. She says no charge. It sounded like a required review. I told her "put your request in writing, specifying exactly why our plan is not in compliance." She said can't do that, I would need to call the DOL and have them do a legal letter. So...bottom line, after much wasted time and research, the whole thing is an unethical attempt to sell your name to a 401k advisor, and these guys get paid for the referrals. DO NOT FALL for this.

RPR failed to deliver services within the specified period of time. Repeated attempts to hold RPR accountable to contractual obligations has failed.
Retirement Plan Ratings is a scam. They promise service and do not deliver! We were solicited by RPR in November of 2017. They are a high pressure phone solicitor promising 401K and retirement referral services. *** is the fast talking, spin doctor and *** is the ring leader of the scam. These guys scam financial companies by promising delivery of companies qualified for retirement plan services. They promise bill you after you have received service but require a credit card to hold. The moment you hang up the phone your card is charged and they never contact you again until you dispute the agreement. If you are lucky the fast talking *** will get on the line and tell you more lies. These guys are genuine ss!

continually calling me and belittling me over the phone. I have asked him to stop calling as I am not interested in his business service.
During a conversation with ***, who tells me that he is the owner of this business, I asked him to stop calling me as I am not interested in his business service. He continued to contact me 2 more times today (2/14/18) after our initial call just to ridicule me. Mr. went so far as to compare me to his "teenage daughter". I told him to stop calling me and that I do not want to speak with him. *** responds back to me by saying-"If you don't want to speak with me then why do you keep answering the phone? Very unprofessional, completely inappropriate, and not an ethical business.

Very unscrupulous company. No one there can take the time to return an email or phone message or do what they say they will. Do not trust them.
