BBB warns of scam in Minnesota and N.D.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota is warning consumers about a company moving into the area that’s making big promises on the Web that might be too good to be true.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota is warning consumers about a company moving into the area that’s making big promises on the Web that might be too good to be true.

The bureau says its investigation of Austin, Texas-based iJango suggests the company may be offering an illegal pyramid scheme. It said it came to that conclusion after meeting with iJango’s CEO Rayner Smith.

The bureau says an advertisement for iJango recently appeared in the Twin Cities area.

The bureau says iJango offers a “business opportunity” in which clients are paid for recruiting customers and other recruiters. The BBB has received complaints about iJango.

The company did not immediately respond to a request for a response to the bureau’s allegations on Friday.
