I worked for this SCAM company for about a year! When I started, the company was located at 9324 West Street, Manassas, VA, 20110. At the beginning, I truely believed that these people were trying to do the right thing, and help people save their homes. The owner Steve Nahas, barely came in, but always kept in touch with Dave Maresca, who ran the business. I thought it was odd that when applying for the job, there was no specific information listed about the company itself, but once being interviewed I had less worry because Dave Maresca has a way with talking you into anything, and making everything sound good. Typical, for a CON ARTIST and a like himself. Throughout my time working for this scam, it was very unprofessional. Every pay check almost guaranteed to have sales missing, sometimes having to just accept a pay check without all the commission that you worked so hard for because of nothing more than GREED, and money hungry individuals. There was never any overtime paid to anyone. Dave Maresca, clearly had a * problem, he would try to hire nothing but woman, and if you were attractive to him, he would immediately come on to you though google chat (which was supposed to be for company use only), also through text messages, often times even face to face. Dave also had his girlfriend, Laura, working for the company, and they always fought in front of everyone! He didn't mind cussing her out in front of everyone, and firing her every other day. Michael Cardin, the assistant manager, didn't have a * problem, but he was always talking about violence, and what he could do to the owner with the gun that he kept in his vehicle. On or around September 1st, the growing scam company packed up to move to a location down the road, 9300 West Courthouse Road, Manassas, Va. Dave loved that the building location name was Judiciary place, he stated it would make it easier to sale the business to people, beings that we were located right next to the court house.
In October, Steve and Dave came to us on our pay day to inform us that the attorney who was managing our business, had backed out, stealing all the money, so they would not be able to pay us. At the time we completely believed everything that they said, and just lost out on our money that we earned. Working weekends, sometimes 16 hour shifts to get things back on track since the attorneys supposedly were the ones who scammed us out of being paid, we never received the overtime hours that we deserved, and slaved for. After that, we started to find it odd that the sales staff and processing department were no longer allowed to communicate, that being because Dave had begun doing more illegal things on the processing end to collect more money for the company. Everyone also noticed a change in Dave Maresca, he started being distant to everyone, wouldn't make eye contact with you, because he knew what was occurring while we were still blind to the fact. The minute anyone questioned him or expressed their concerns to him, or Michael Cardin, they quickly let you know that if you didn't like it or had a problem, you could leave, or be fired. Most of the time, so they didn't have to fire anyone (because they didn't want anyone to receive unemployment), they made you so uncomfortable working there, that you eventually quit. Dave Maresca, openly admitted it to the employees, his techniques used, and his ways of flipping every situation to his advantage. Working here, you never had job security, the turnover rate speaks for itself.
On December 19th, 2014, the staff was called into a meeting to be informed that they would not be paid, yet again! With being given no specific information when we would be paid again, everyone started to be upset but everyone stood by this company, being manipulated into thinking that this company was the victim of a scam, when they were the scam! Dave Maresca's kids, had an amazing Christmas while everyone else had to tell their family's that there would be no Christmas this year. As this company continued to fold, every pay day became dreadful, just expecting bad news, and no pay check, which continued to happen throughout this year. Some pay days they gave us, 400 or 800 dollar pay checks, other weeks given an I.O.U. To make matters worse, every partial pay check given out from December 29th, 2014 and forward was hand written, and had no taxes deducted, when everyone had been on a W2 for quite some time. They had tons of charge backs against them, and weren't able to continue running payments through credit card companies, so they switched everything over to ACH payments, before then sometimes going weeks without being able to run payments because of all of the charge backs.
On or around April 30th, Dave Maresca decided that he would make the owner, Steve Nahas, sign over all of his rights to the company, because he had believed that Steve was stealing the money. To do so, Steve was given two options, either sign the company over or go to jail. According to Dave he hired a private investigator to watch Steve. Michael Cardin bragged about the part he played in the office as they gave Steve his ultimatum, claiming he stood there with his gun. When Dave Maresca became the owner of NVA Financial Services, he quickly changed the name over to SYNERGY Attorney Services, LLC, also having the remaining employees sign a transfer agreement with his new company Synergy. Shortly after Dave taking over, with the building lease not being in his name, Dave had to vacate the building. When doing so, the company completely fell apart, and if you were making him enough money, or "attractive" enough, he called you back to come work at his new office, , Manassas, Va, , A.K.A. his basement. Not being honest once again, he uses the UPS address, 8801 Sudley Road, Suite #4017, to continue to sign up more people, and take advantage of them.
While his employees still are not being paid properly, he still lives a comfortable life. Employees have lost their own homes, been evicted, and more behind this scam business, and will continue to do so as long as Dave Maresca is in control. While still able to do this Illegal activities without being caught, and not having to pay for his wrong doings, the greed will only grow, as he continues to build this empire of scamming innocent people. Loan Modifications are supposed to be FREE, and he has no second thoughts about taking innocent people’s money, as long as it benefits him, and only him. As he continues hiring NEW innocent people who don't know his motives, he'll continue to do these criminal acts, while making it look like he's helping you! He needs to be in jail for all the sexual harassment and scamming that he's done! At this point, He has burned more bridges than anything else he’s done in his life. I hope all of his employees realize what they’re really involved in, and get out before it’s too late.
