Wingspan Portfolio Advisors contracted for Bank of America and now JP Morgan. Managers Melanie Pellegrino, Justin Belter, Kevin Conn, David Payne, and Jason Dickard acted negligently, forcing Americans to lose their homes. Wingspan Portfolio Advisors also discriminated against minorities in Hiring, Pay and Promotions and were sued for discrimination. Mgrs. referred to Blacks as "Niggers" and "Roaches". It's my belief Wingspan and BOA are complicit in the largest Mortgage Fraud in U.S. History.
Steve Horne, Wingspan Portfolio Advisors Go to Great Lengths to Hide The Truth About Its Troubling Business Operations
For those of you who are searching for information regarding Wingspan's shady dealings, you will find this info usually on the second or third pages of google..Why is this? Because Wingspan Portfolio Advisors, as other big firms, pays SEO firms to crank out "GLOWING" articles about the company and its dealings like Kinkos cranks out Binders. These people study up on how to promote companies and people (for a price of course) in Google. They do this primarily to drown out any negative information regarding a company or person who pays them. At times they will even resort to creating False Reports and News Events just to control how the person or company appears in google and other search engines.
Here's a perfect example of what I am referring to: See Below Link..
http://strategicvantage.com/announcements/wingspan-portfolio-advisors-wins-2012-dallas-100-recognition (FALSE REPORT CREATED BY A COMPANY WINGSPAN PAYS TO CREATE NEWS PROFILES THAT PAINT A GLOWING PICTURE OF THE COMPANY. THIS ONE FAILED MISERABLY AS IT FAILED TO REFERENCE THAT WINGSPAN IS FIRING HALF THEIR WORKFORCE ALTHOUGH IT WAS CREATED AFTER NEWS OF THE LAYOFFS WENT PUBLIC)
The article, which is dated November 16, 2012 is written like it came directly from Wingspan Portfolio Advisors Media and Promotions Department, YET it appears to be written by a different company. This is what SEO Management Companies do. They create false profiles or fake sites to promote and over-promote a company or individual.. WITH NO REGARD FOR THE TRUTH.. Because the article references Wingspan as being the fastest growing company and did not reference at all the company has lost a major contract and is terminating 459 people only a year after hiring all of them. Pay special attention to how many times the article says "Wingspan Portfolio Advisors, an "Award Winning Servicer".. This is all just JIVE.. Nothing but pure HYPE.
Growing up, I know many of us have gone to parties or concerts where a "HYPE MAN" is paid to come on first and get the crowd excited and amped up about the party or performance we all awaited. That was their job.
Well, SEO Management firms get PAID by companies to "Manage" a company's online profile. They try and paint the most glowing picture of a company. The main way they do this is by created dozens of what appear to be legitimate news and publishing companies to pump out glowing articles about a company. They really don't even care if the articles are true or not. By doing this they make sure that the company, no matter how dark or shady its business dealings, has a "Pristine Online Image" displayed to the public. The public at large has never heard of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Companies and have no idea they are used by the business community and that they are paid to create what is often a False Public Profile of the company.. Because the general populace is unaware of these tactics they are easily DUPED.
This company had no job security and its contracts were always the "Fickle" kind with no long term contracts. Wingspan Portfolio Advisors, was more than anything trying to bolster its image in the business and mortgage community; most likely in hopes that this "bolstered image" would get them more contracts..
And they FAILED in this assessment...
Everything, in my honest opinion, about this company, its management and the dozens of FAKE and MISLEADING NEWS ARTICLES that were created by its SEO Management firms that litter the internet creates a FALSE identity, a FALSE image of Wingspan Portfolio Advisors..
Just More Lies to Perpetuate a Myth..
They are just continuing to Work The System..
