This company is not located at 2151 N.

Consumers report that "PHB Title" requests an upfront fee paid via wire transfer.  The BBB recommends not wire transfering money to any unknown parties.   If you’ve wired money to an unknown company or individual, call the money transfer company immediately to report the fraud and file a complaint. You can reach the complaint department of MoneyGram at 1-800-MONEYGRAM (1-800-666-3947) or Western Union at 1-800-448-1492. Ask for the money transfer to be reversed. It’s unlikely to happen, but it’s important to ask. Then, file a complaint with the FTC: Visit ftc.gov or call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357); TTY: 1-866-653-4261. http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt034.shtm and econsumer.gov:  www.econsumer.gov.  Econsumer.gov is a portal for you as a consumer to report complaints about online and related transactions with foreign companies.

Alert

The company, PHB Title, claims to be located at 2151 N. Martin Luther King Drive in Milwaukee, according to its website. However, there is no company with that name at that address. The business that IS at this location tells the BBB, "Please be advised that Mr. Carter is not an employee nor is this the place of business for PHB Title. If you have the opportunity to find out who Mr. Carter is, please advise him to discontinue using the MLK address as he is neither a tenant nor in any other capacity associated with our organization."

Consumers report that PHB Title calls them claiming to be the title company for the sale of their property. It offers the timeshare owner up to double what they originally paid for their timeshare, and requests payment of roughly $1,400 be sent via wire transfer to cover “transfer fees.” Consumers also report that some of the callers from PHB Title have foreign accents. The Wisconsin BBB opened its file on August 7, 2012 and is receiving numerous inquiries every day from consumers across the country. PHB Title has not responded to the BBB’s requests for standard business information.
