Someone left a post, and I thank you, in the comments area below.
I cannot post the company's other phone number without their permission.
I did call them and the person that is in charge is supposed to call back.
Yes I am correct, the fake site is using the website IP 67.228.184.3 for www.weeklyhomebuyerslist.com
This means the site is compromised and the scammers placed the fake live chat files there.
