51 SoCal Latinos Say Janitorial Franchisor Scammed Them


SANTA ANA, Calif. (CN) - More than 50 people say so-called janitorial franchisor Stratus Building Solutions of Orange defrauded them in a cold-blooded "corporate scam" aimed at Spanish speakers.

The 51 Latino plaintiffs say GoldeneyeHoldings dba Stratus Building Solutions of Orange ran a "simple" scam that targeted "victims who don't speak English by taking out ads in Spanish speaking publications."

"The advertisements seek to attract Latino immigrants with promises of financial freedom if they purchase janitorial franchises from defendant Stratus. The advertisements encourage prospective franchisees to immediately call or visit 'Fernando,' one of its sales representatives," according to the Superior Court complaint.

The complaint does not state how much each plaintiff had to pay to buy a so-called franchise. But they say Stratus made them promises it did not deliver.
&quot T)he plaintiff's attempts to achieve the 'America Dream' was thwarted by the new American reality - the corporate scam," the complaint states.
