Default is this a scam?

Thanks

I haven't heard anything about Aqua Consulting Group. Perhaps you could send a response back or try to phone them to gather further information.
Always trust your gut though!

Hello

Apparently this is a scam. I googled the business name I found a
  • web page that haven't been update since 2004
  • call the phone number attached to the website, instead of a business name being announced, a female answered the phone without announcing the business name
  • also found that some of their web pages could not be found
  • name of business on the web: Aqua Consulting Group, Inc.
  • I didn't find this business registered anywhere in the USA.
  • I couldn't find a physical address for this business and couldn't verify if this business was a business in the USA or not.

with Businesses like this one, that's why, I have added business investigation to my services.

If you feel that it a scam, check it out, then pass it along to others.

I also searched this company. Found 2 web sites, one as already stated hasn't been updated for quite a while but the other one is current and resides in Concord, NH. The outdated web is situated in Atlanta, GA and they deal with technology and public relations.
I would go with your gut feelings.
