Description

In late August 2025, I was contacted online by individuals claiming to operate a business called Appointment Setting Co., offering job placement and training for remote appointment-setting positions. The people I communicated with introduced themselves as Cade Frillici, and Tina Helzer. They presented their program as a legitimate opportunity to receive professional training and be matched with paying clients after completion. On August 29, 2025, I agreed to enroll in the program and paid $6,000 using my Chase credit card although originally they tried me to open a brand new AMEX account for the $6000 charge. I was provided contracts and waivers referencing an LLC, but upon review I noticed inconsistencies between the documents and the business name that actually signed them. When I attempted to verify the company, I could find no registered LLC, business license, or credible online presence confirming that Appointment Setting Co. or any related entities were legitimate. After realizing that the company was not verifiable, I contacted Chase to dispute the charge. I submitted all documentation showing the mismatched LLC names and the lack of verifiable business registration. Chase reviewed my case and ruled in my favor, refunding the full $6,000. This confirmed that the transaction was fraudulent. Before the dispute was resolved, I was contacted by another individual by the first name, David, who did not offer her last name and said he was part of an outside company to help me resolve things. Clearly, no professional would not use their full name or company name. Shortly after the dispute was resolved, I began receiving emails and text messages from the same group, now claiming to represent the company’s “legal department.” The messages came from Gmail addresses (including [email protected]) and from the address [email protected], referencing a PDF titled “Confirmation of Agreement Terms & Payment Obligation.” These messages, claimed that I had “waived my right to dispute,” and they wanted to “help me get my refund” and threatened to forward my “account” to collections and report me to credit bureaus. These communications appear to be false legal intimidation tactics intended to pressure me into repaying funds from a transaction that was already confirmed fraudulent. At this point, I have not responded to any of their messages. I have reported the matter to Chase Bank, and I am now submitting this summary to federal and state authorities for documentation and potential investigation. The operation appears to be an organized employment scam that collects large sums of money from job seekers under the guise of training and job placement, using unregistered business entities and deceptive contracts. I have preserved all related communications, contracts, emails, and screenshots, including evidence of the chargeback outcome, for review by investigators. The company calls themselves Appointment setting co by CEO Connor Butler. The LLC listed on the contract they gave me which I see put me as a customer not an employee is wealth builders alliance LLC, but for the signature it says wealth builders capital LLC. I Reached back out to the person who had me sign on and they referred me to the support which a woman (Tina Heltzer) who called me to basically tell me no I can’t get out of the contract. I need to fulfill my hits. I asked her what’s the name of the LLC that they’re under she listed about three that was not the ones I mentioned. She said they work out of multiple LLCs. Her name was Tina Helzer. Afterwards, I looked her up online and found a lot of marijuana possession charges, and disorderly conduct charges In her criminal history. The contract states that any legal issues would be settled in the state of New Jersey, so I tried to look up the LLCs in New Jersey and cannot find any of them. They also had me sign a contract, which was told to me it was for employment, but really it was a service contract as I was a customer. Three days later after I had already asked to get out of the contract they sent me a new contract with my signature on it saying it was a dispute waiver agreement and I cannot dispute the charge. That’s between me and my bank they can’t take that right. Here is a link from the Better Business Bureau of someone with a similar situation with the same people representing a different entity and different LLC, but the same scam concept. https://www.bbb.org/scamtracker/lookupscam/1004220 Some LLCs being used: Wealth Builders LLC, Wealth Builders Alliance LLC, Wealth Builders Capital LLC, VALYOU MEDIA LLC, Timeless Capital LLC, etc and many more. Previous names: Appointment Setting Legacy, Legacy Appointments, Appointment Setting Co, Appointment Flow Co, Those involved: Connor Butler (named CEO) Cade Frillici (closer who takes money) Tina Kaye Helzer Correa, John Tyler, Sasha Nichols, Most use 1st names, I got Cade Frillici’s last name by putting his number into cash app then looked him up and saw all his basketball stats. Since all this happened, I’ve been contacted over a dozen times with the initial text, emails, and calls. They will always call twice in a row, even if you don’t answer and send a follow up text or email. They also have scripts specifically to get your credit score and how to gain your trust.
