Purchasing from Solution Seeker Networks / Digitalusa.com

I'm considering doing a large business deal with Solution Seeker Networks, INC. Doing my due diligence, I have pulled D and B reports on this company... it is listed, but there are conflicting information on what was found, and what was stated by management. I also checked business licenses in Nevada and Florida, none (but they operate under parent company Digital USA, Inc.).

Has anyone done any business with this company? I am excited to do business with them, but am very cautious.

Solution Seeker

I did some due dilligence on them including having a friend go by their "office" in nevada and the office is being renovated so another tenant can move in. While I can't say anything that is bad for sure, they are conducting themselves in a way that would indicate scam like wanting forms of payment that wouldn't protect the purchaser, not knowing anything when it comes to quantity of merchandise on hand and shying away from any type of fly and buy situation or giving POS. Be Careful on this one!

Solution seekers

I ordered a sample trial package from them earlier this month after talking with a sales guys there and I wasn't sure 'cause of some of the 'red flags' you mentioned. I am still a bit worried but i was able to find some license info on them in FL and there is an address there and I do have a tracking number for the package. I told them I needed the product by Christmas though but i don't know if it'll get here in time for me to inspect the package.

I have address information for them at 123 Charles St. Daytona Beach FL

good luck and wish me some

Well... thanks for the insight. I have done some additional due diligence and pulled their D&B report (which they told me to do instead of giving credit references). It doesn't look very good. They are not licensed by the state of Nevada or Florida to do business. I have contacted them and sent our standard New Vendor Profile form, and so far it has been moved up to management to be filled out. I havn't heard from them in a week. All I am asking is for some credit references and business information. The D&B report will follow this thread.

Please let me know if your products arrive. I still would like to make a purchase with them, but I need some security before I wright a $20,000 check.

Here is what is listed in the Dunn and Bradstreet report. It is public information, but you need to pay for it through a private account. D&B do not have any history reports on credit worthiness, but have these comments.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
SPECIAL EVENT : 10/27/05

In previous communications, management submitted information to D&B indicating Solution Seeker Networks Inc began operations in 2005, is a corporation, employs 40, wholesales durable goods and leases commercial space at 5190 Neil Road, Ste 430, Reno, NV. The business phone number provided by management was (386) 441-2894.

On October 27, 2005, a check with the Nevada Secretary of State revealed a corporate charter was issued to Solution Seeker Networks Inc on June 28, 2005. On October 27, 2005, a check with the Reno, NV and Washoe County, NV Business Licensing Departments revealed no record of the required business license being issued to Solution Seeker Networks Inc.

On October 27, 2005, a check with local authorities revealed 5190 Neil Road, Ste 430, Reno, NV to be the address of Corporate Service Center Inc, the resident agent for Solution Seeker Networks Inc. A physical address, if any, was unavailable for Solution Seeker Networks Inc. On October 27, 2005, a check with directory assistance revealed no record of a business phone number for Solution Seeker Networks Inc in Reno, NV or the surrounding area. A reverse lookup of the business phone number provided by management, (386) 441-2894, revealed it to be a residential listing for Leshawn Roundtree, principal, with an address of 114 Ocean Aire Terrace N, Ormond Beach, FL.

On October 27, 2005, a check with the Volusia County, FL Occupational Licensing Department revealed no record of an occupational license being issued to Solution Seeker Networks Inc or its principals, Alphonso and Leshawn Roundtree.

As a matter of interest, on October 19, 2005, management contacted D&B to set up business files on four companies: Abris Inc (DUNS: 60-854-3901), Solution Seeker Networks Inc (DUNS: 60-854-3927), Synergy Diversified Inc (DUNS: 60-854-4099) and Roundtree Worldwide Entertainment Group Inc (DUNS: 60-854-3976). It should be noted that all four companies have the same incorporation date of June 28, 2005; the same address of 5190 Neil Road, Ste 340, Reno, NV and the same business phone number of (386) 441-2894. Three of the four companies (Abris Inc excluded) listed the number of employees as 40. Abris Inc listed the employee figure as 25. In addition, it was indicated that the stock for all four companies was wholly-owned by Digital USA Inc, Reno, NV. A search of D&B's database revealed no record of a business file for Digital USA Inc in Reno, NV.

D&B receives over 580 million payment experiences each year. We enter these new and updated experiences into D&B Reports as this information is received. At this time, none of those experiences relate to this company.

A search of D&B's historical database revealed no record of a business file for Solution Seeker Networks Inc prior to October 19, 2005, when a file was created at the request of the company's management. Due to the discrepancies listed above, financial and credit information will be withheld.

Actually.... yes. I've been looking for a legitimate xbox 360 supplier for the last 4 weeks and have not been able to find one. Solution Seeker Networks says that they have hundreds of them. If so, then my search is over. I truly hope so.

I am very skeptical about this company. I live in Florida and was thinking about driving to the warehouse to see what exactly it is. They are about 4 hours from me though. I emailed them to see if I can have an inspector come in and check out their physical stock and I havent heard back from them yet..... Looking at all the other message boards it doesnt seem like anyone has used them yet. I think we all know that once a company is used and dont come through people scream scam but nothing on them, wonder if this means they are legit?? Just yesterday the sample orders went from 25 to 100.

Waiting to hear from seller4ever about if his stuff came.
