Good day All,

I checked the internet and couldn't find any scams on line related to them, kindly please give me your opinion if it would be wise to join them or not.

@Princess Lukhele,

Looked into this:

No info on Snopes (yet). Sent them a message about it.

No hits on Google for "oproperties scam".

Went to their "Contact Us" page, plugged their posted address into Google Maps. Comes up as an office building in Malvern, PA.

Found their "whois" data at mawords.com. The name is registered thru a privacy company in Queensland, AU. Registered just about a month ago (2016-04-20 / 20 April (Wednesday) 2016), 18-May-2016 in "whois" (whois.net).

So, this looks like a start-up. 

I'd sit on it until late Q3 CY2016 and see what comes of it.

If they're operating in Malvern, PA, I'd expect to be able to find some publicly available information about them, though the actual company name seems well hidden (* Red Flag *). May take a fair amount to digging to find it. Their home page shows a name of "Opportunity Properties". Googling that pulls up a number entries, some of which mention a "blast from the past" name of "Carbo" (Joe Carbo of "Lazy Man's Way To Riches"? I wonder...)

If I find anything further, I'll post an update.
