              This business is a scam. I have called three times about investing some money and they say each time, "we'll get back to you" and they haven't yet. DON'T waste your time or money trying to get in contact with them. I gave them 1 star but they don't even deserve that.

              Hello Ms. ******

              Thank you for reaching out and we understand your concern. Unfortunately, the personnel in our corporate office located in Fort Myers, FL have been experiencing continued outbreaks of the Covid -19 virus which has caused a significant reduction in their normal staffing over the past year or two. We would greatly appreciate your patience while the staff recovers and would be more than happy to accommodate your interest in our products and services while this pandemic subsides.

              Kindest regards,

              Lisa D.

              Hello Ms. ******

              Thank you for reaching out to us. According to our records you do not have, nor have you ever had any investment accounts with Gulf Coast Financial Group, LLC. There are other similar businesses out there with a similar name - we are not sure you have contacted the right company?

              All of our investment accounts require minimum financial requirements to become a client of Gulf Coast Financial Group, LLC. If you have been attempting to open a new investment account with our company, you must first complete a Financial Qualification Form, that we must approve prior to opening an investment account with us. If your financial assets meet our minimum standards, we can then set an appointment for you to meet with one of our financial representatives.

              Please understand that the Covid pandemic over the past couple of years has slowed our New Business department for accepting new clients as it requires a face to face appointment to open a new investment account. Now that the pandemic has subsided we have been steadily returning to our pre-Covid normals.

              Gulf Coast Financial Group, LLC prides itself on customer service and always acts in the best interest of our clients. Please feel free to contact us directly if we can be of further assistance.

              Kindest regards,
              Gulf Coast Financial Group, LLC

              Sorry but I did call at least 3 times. And was told someone would get back to me and they never did. At one call I was asked how much I would be investing, and I said at least 40,000.00, possibly more but still no one bothered to call or explain what I needed to do. Don't advertise in the paper about CD's with a great rate if you can't follow through.
