Is http://harvard.ch “Harvard Merger & Acquisitions” site legit or a scam?

Question by VeronicaVox: Is http://harvard.ch “Harvard Merger & Acquisitions” site legit or a scam?
A colleague referred me to http://harvard.ch for potential business deals, but it seems a bit shady to me. I can’t find much about it on Google, and a Whois search says it’s owned by “Capital Consult AG
” in Germany.

Anybody heard of it, or can anybody verify it’s legitimacy?

Best answer:

Answer by Jim L
It looks to me like a typical “buy a business/sell a business” web site, no more no less. There are lots of them. if you decide to advertise on any of these sites, don’t expect miracles if you are selling a business. There are lots of businesses for sale and not many buyers.

Go to http://www.businesssalecenter.com it’s a really informative site for business sellers.
