My esteemed colleagues,
I received a phone call from the Federal Processing Assistance Association Corporation out of Spring Hill Florida. They offered to help us as a small business to obtain government contracts on returning Iraq war amputees through a new allocation program with the federal government. Sounded interesting, so I asked them to fax the information. By signing up, and paying a hefty sum, we are supposed to be emailed daily contract reports that we can bid on. Apparently the feds have set aside gobs of money that is only to be paid to small businesses for these services. I looked them up on the BBB web site and they have an unsatisfactory record with the BBB due to unanswered complaints. Most of the complaints involved the company simply not responding to complaints. I would recommend that anyone contacted by them be very careful. Since we are already contracted with VA and Tricare, it would be hard for them to add anything to our patient population. If it sounds too g!
ood to be
