Business group warns of scam in Minn. and ND
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 says it came to that conclusion after meeting with iJango's Chief Executive Officer Rayner Smith.
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 bureau says an advertisement for iJango recently appeared in the Twin Cities area.
The company did not immediately respond to a request for a response to the bureau's allegations on Friday.
