Leslie Leland is a scam artist! She now owns 3 business locations which was all started by scamming an innocent woman who thought she was foinancing a business which would be both of there's after getting $200,000 and a signed and notorized document which stated if she failed to repay the loans any and all legal action should be taken against her. Well she stopped repaying the loans took my name off of the company then forged my name on a vehicle purchased under Hair-Ex and signed my name as the guarantor.
I filed a warrant and the warrant was granted but it took a year for the Fulton County DA's office to finally bring her to court on charges, I was never called by the DA's office to find out any information that I had to persue the fraud charges against her. To top it off she was able to use a Public Defender to represent her. In June of last year Jill Hollander DA called to tell me charges were being dismissed. I then contacted Paul Howard the elected DA and reported the treatment I received from his DA office. I then received a call from the Deputy DA Ron Dixon, who after discussing the case with him and submitting documents he decided the case should be reopened. It was then assigned to Norris Lewis DA who is now telling me the Statue of Limitations is coming up and we have to prove that she forged my name in Fulton County for a vehicle she had delivered to her in Fulton County, GA. He is working on that now.
I want to file a civil lawsuit against her but I need the money to do it. She has ruined my credit, she has taken what I could have used to open my own business away from me. She has spent time on Prison for fraud which I did not find out until after the fact. She's good at taking what is not hers to take. One of the business loans she used for $50,000 that we had applied for but I was never aware it had been approved was used up without my knowledge as well as 2 other loans. The first business loan was for $100,000 I flew to NY the guy that handled the loan was in on it which I didn't know at the time. When the loan went delinquent I asked the bank to send me all the loan documents when they did there was a tax return that was unsigned but in my name submitted which I was unaware of. She is a scammer, liar and after filing charges has tried to contact me to find out what it would take to dismiss charges. There is nothing she could do to make it right. The business's she owns are mine I financed the start of the business she was slick I will hand her that but aren't all professional rip off's slick? She not only scams people but commits a federal crime whenever she needs medication she calls a random Dr office and says she is calling from an insurance company and needs the Dr's ID number she then calls in her own perscriptions.
Don't mess with Leslie Leland she makes it to good to be true and it is. She has commited fraud using other peoples credit cards and made a lot of money at Western Union. She will smile in your face and even has official documents to convince you she is legit when all along she will take you to the cleaners. WATCH OUT!
If there is an Attorney out there that would like to help me on a contingency basis please contact me.

Just wanted to update everyone on the con artist Leslie Leland. I've received emails asking if I know any reputable hair distributors and I have hooked them up as far as Leslie I haven't heard anything about her she is probably in jail or laying low . She may have changed her name because she was put on notice when I went public with her rip off scams. So be on the lookout for anyone that makes you an offer that sounds to good to be true it usually is. I will never see my money but if I saved one person which I did from investing in her than I have been repaid. I know I was able to keep a man from giving her $25,000 his best friend decided to search her on line and found my report she contacted me and when he got home she had it all laid out for him, when she met with him again he asked her if there was anything she should let him know and she said, "I didn't know we were doing back ground checks, but there is a white women who claims I owe her money" he said, "Well don't you think you should take care of that before asking me for money?" She started crying and was hysterical saying I was going to ruin her life. Never mind that she ruined my credit and got away with it.
LESLIE LELAND AKA who knows what she is going by now is a con artist maybe she is in prison doing well deserved time like she has done before. Always be on the look out, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor the size of an orange in 2007 the Dr said it affected my judgement and reasoning so she got me hook line and sinker but I have my life.
i look back now and it's like I didn't know the person who allowed someone to get $200,000 from me an expensive lesson learned but one I am able to warn everyone about.
Have a great day be cautious of this person she's a great liar and doesn't care about anyone but herself.

I have been meaning to update everyone on the status of Leslie Leland so here it is.
I received a letter from her attorney yes her attorney, saying I was defaming her character and to cease and desist from defamatory and malicious statements concerning Leslie Leland on the Internet or social media. He said I have besmirched her good name lol on baseless criminal charges that were dismissed. He said use of interstate wire to make these groundless claims and my effort to get her to pay me money to stop leaves me open to judicial remedies. I was requested to cease and desist.
So I contacted the Deputy DA in Atlanta and asked him to send me a letter confirming exactly why they had to drop the charges that I was being threaten with defamation. So yes he wrote me a letter clearly stating that these charges were proven that the dependent would have been found guilty of the crime of Identity Fraud and Forgery if they would have been able to prove that the documents were signed in Fulton County, GA because the truck had been purchased in FL. So I called her attorney who answered the phone and told him that everything I have ever posted or said about his client is true and I have proof of anything I have accused her of. I then asked him what his definition of defamation was but he said he could not tell me because it was a legal question. Lol. I told him to never contact me again or I would have to file suit for harassment.
I have been contacted by so many people who no longer want to spend money with her they would rather give there money to someone reputable. She has threatened me with physical harm and of course suing me but the proof is in the pudding. I have not posted anything that I cannot confirm, police records are PUBLIC RECORD and I didn't force the DA to send me in writing a letter confirming she would have been convicted of the crime of Identity Fraud and Forgery had we been able to prove it was done in Fulton County, GA.
I heard she is now only selling hair by mail all I can say is watch your credit information.
If you would like to purchase Indian Hair wholesale I can put you in contact with a Reputable hair distributor please contact:
(((REDACTED)))
India is a country dominated with a huge religious population of Hindus. Hinduism is an amazing religion consisting of various myths and beliefs in the name of faith. One such belief in Hinduism is sacrificing ones hair in the name of god. Donating hair to god is an ancient practice which has been going on for centuries. Hair, for most people, is what defines their physical appearance. Whether long or short it can be an expression of social conformity and affiliation.
Lengths available 10" - 32"
Textures: Natural Straight, Wavy & Curly
(((REDACTED)))
If I am physically threaten by her again legal action will be taken but I am innocent of defamation allegations because I speak the TRUTH! I have never tried to blackmail her in anyway shape or form there is nothing she can do to fix what she has done to my what was great credit and my reputation. Buyer beware is all I can say and please know who you are dealing with that was my first mistake I trusted to easily, but I think it was because of my brain tumor that affected my decision making and reasoning skills.
Please email me if you have any questions about my allegations they are not alleged they are fact.
Take Care I have moved on I am a survivor I just wanted to update everyone and give you other options to purchase Indian Hair. She also offers credit please contact them for more details.
God Bless

Leslie Leland is now threatening me bodily harm
AUTHOR: Purple Star - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Friday, August 10, 2012
Please read the entire report here so you know the entire story don't let the smile, the hair and her big butt fool you. She has gone as far as going on match.com to try and find a man or better yet her next victim fortunately for them they did there homework
I received a call yesterday from a collection agency looking for her, I gave them her info and asked them not to call so I found Leslie on Instagram and left her a comment and the collections number and advised I hope she doesn't take anyone else on the same ride.
Then she called me talking about how she misses me, What? She put her other friend on 3 way and was asking what she could do for me?
After listening to her kiss butt and hearing nothing that would resolve what she has done oh but not before she said she paid off the $1000,000 loan I couldn't take it. I told her she is a liar because I had to file bankruptcy so what did she actually pay? It amazes me to what extent she will go to only to tell another lie! A prime example showing how she has not changed at all.
First it was I miss you as a friend which I found out long ago she never liked me, to text messages stating she was going to the police, turning me into Instagram that I am crazy....amazing how she went from nice to outraged because she couldn't con me into thinking she had changed I got so tired of listening to it I hung up.
But I have the texts and the threats were made by her. She is and will always be a fake, if your thinking about giving her money please think twice only give what you can afford to lose.
I am only here because eating $200,000 having fraud committed against me while she acts like she did it all by herself is to much and people need to know CONS come in all sizes, shapes and colors.
If she was going to make this right she would have done so already, I bought HairEx not her, she was broke!
So BEWARE watch YOUR CREDIT. I don't do this out of resentment she can do whatever she wants to do I am only trying to protect the next person from becoming a victim it's up to you what you make of it.
PLEASE READ THE COMPLETE STORY

JUST TO UPDATE THE STATUS OF LESLIE LELAND IN GA
AUTHOR: Purple Star - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Monday, August 15, 2011
She made attempts to settle only because someone she tried to scam into investing in her business asked her why she had not made good on what she did to me did she attempt to contact me wanting to know what I would accept but that didn't last long when the person said they could not invest in someone who does what she did to me can actually live with ripping someone off. I am proud to say that my postings have saved a lot of people money. She was so desperate to get me to stop posting warnings about her that she contacted my daughter as if my daughter would actually defend her what a joke!!! She is a joke and I know that she will get what is due her. She is suppose to be producing a show called Amature Millionaires Club I hope she does because once she gets on TV what I know about her will be better than anything she could be involved in. God don't like ugly and I hope Leslie Leland is following this because she is no good and whoever she cons from here on out will most likely be singing my song soon. Unless of course they are smarter than I was and finds this report.
She is a FAKE and I have the proof to show it...the following is a copy of the arrest for credit card fraud in Dekalb County Georgia its public record...

Six charges of credit card fraud in Dekalb County go to OJS Criminal Case you can see it all. As you see here she also had a Bench Warrant. I cannot make this stuff up and its not information that is private it is public for all to see if you are looking for it. I have also requested her information from St Louis where she did a year in prison for fraud and had actually ran but was apprehended in Atlanta, GA.
She calls herself a Christian but hasn't made any attempt to resolve what she owes me. The IRS is also looking into the tax return she submitted without my knowledge. Just watch your credit information around her she will steal it and use it.
Pay up LESLIE LELAND show everyone how you say you have changed PROVE IT and I will make sure everyone knows you stepped up and for once did the right thing. If not you will just show everyone you are still the same person you have always been a con and a rip off. If anyone would like additional information please email me at purplestarent@sbcglobal.net I have already saved 3 people from being in the position I am in, I hope I can save more.

MY ATTEMPT AT A RESOLUTION
AUTHOR: Purple Star - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, April 23, 2011
Leslie Leland has contacted me several times within the last month saying she wants to clear her conscious unfortunately they seem to be just words. I would like nothing more than for her to stand up and be a woman and make this right with me but after several texts she left me a voice mail that showed the Christian mask she wears came off, her true colors came out and she again reminded me of who she really is. I pray daily for everyone in this world to be the best they can be I even pray for her, I just know her meaningless attempts to clear her conscious as she says she wants to do offer nothing but excuses. I have proof to back up everything I have stated in my report even a signed and notorized contract that she wrote stating any and all legal action should be taken against her should she fail to pay back the loans. SHE IS WHO SHE IS A WOLF IN SHEEPS CLOTHING AND SHE IS VERY CONVINCING AT THAT SHE WILL BE WHOEVER YOU WANT HER TO BE TO GET WHAT SHE WANTS THEN YOU JUST BECOME HER VICTIM. If you doubt me do business with her. I AM NOT A LIAR NOR A THIEF OR SCAM ARTIST I treat others as I want to be treated what I am guilty of is trusting in a true scam artist who will do whatever she has to do to get what she wants SO AGAIN BEWARE OF LESLIE LELAND if she wanted to make things right this would have already been resolved we would be done with this back and forth stuff and I would be able to tell everyone here that she made things right whats even funnier is she calls it blackmail????? How is scamming someone out of $200,000 and not repaying it blackmail there is NOTHING on my record of any fraud or felony arrest and how do you blackmail someone for what is owed???? Someone explain that to me. SO LESLIE LELAND WHEN YOU ARE READY TO COME TO THE TABLE AND MAKE THINGS RIGHT I AM MORE THAN WILLING TO MEET WITH YOU but you vague and insincere attempts are unwanted and certainly an insult to me to think I have not learned my lesson when it comes to you is an insult to me SHAME ON YOU THE FIRST TIME BUT THERE WILL NEVER BE A SHAME ON ME FOR A SECOND TIME.
So for anyone following the status of my case I will keep you posted on rather or not LESLIE LELAND has stepped up as a woman and really resolved what she has done to me, I had a credit score pre Leslie Leland of 780 or higher now I am to embarrassed to even say what it is. She goes on TV promoting different people to bad the magazines and producer don't do there research and see who they are really dealing with. LESLIE WE CAN MEET ANYTIME WHEN YOU ARE READY TO BE SERIOUS AND STOP BEING IN SCAM MODE TRYING TO GET OVER. YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE AND ONLY YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR OWN REPUTATION WHICH WOULD BE BASED ON A SINCERE OFFER TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT WITH EVERYONE YOU HAVE SCAMMED I AM SURE I AM NOT YOUR ONLY VICTIM IF IT WASN'T FOR YOUR EX I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS PUBLIC FORUM WHERE I COULD WARN FURTHER VICTIMS OF YOUR SCAMS.
You know how to reach me you have been texting me for the last month a leaving messages that any Christian would call unlady like, when you really are sincere in wanting to clear you conscious as you keep saying contact me.
But to all of you out there just be aware of who you are really dealing with, everyone promoting her is actually promoting a felon with a record of arrest for cc fraud the proof is available for all to see my mistake was not doing my homework I am guilty of trusting someone that had a good gift for gab just beware. I will keep you updated on what the future outcome is and I hope I can get your prayers that my credit can be restored and my life put back together. I am losing my home because of what she has done I am married and this has effected my husband as well because we are married so I am continuing to be effected by LESLIE LELAND she has not only destroyed my credit but my husbands as well. Its not a minor infraction the impact of all of this destroyed my family and she doesn't care because she lives day to day from one victim to the next she doesn't own a home, she just buys fancy cars so she can play the part she use to say you have to look like you have money so people believe you I now know what she meant by that the hard way.
Until my next update have a Happy Easter and be blessed keep me in your prayers and Leslie too pray that she steps up and does the right thing for once in her life she says she is a Christian I am just waiting to see her walk the talk.
God Bless

UPDATE ABOUT LESLIE LELAND AND HAIR EX
AUTHOR: Purple Star - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Friday, March 18, 2011
I didn't want anyone to think I have given up on my fight for justice because I haven't. Leslie has tried to contact me several times trying to plead to me to end my fight but she claims she doesn't have any money, amazing how she manages to drive a BMW and I hear another Range Rover I wonder who she ripped off and scammed to get it. She never has anything in her name and if you go to GA Secretary of State and lookup Hair Ex you can see all of the documents she has filed and the different names she puts up there as owners/partners she does this so that the person she is scamming thinks they are getting something. So beware if you are going to go into business with Leslie Leland know that it is only until the money runs out then you will be out of there with nothing.
But, as she goes through life thinking that I have gone away she should beware that I have not gone anywhere.
She even has her friends or the people who run her other 2 Hair Ex's call me and plead her case crying about how she doesn't have any money, well she owes me and I will get paid. She thought she was dealing with someone stupid but like I told her she messed with the wrong woman. I trusted her which I could kick my butt over but I kept our notorized contract in tact and she wrote it and stated SHOULD THE ACCOUNTS NOT GET PAID ANY AND ALL LEGAL ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN AGAINST HER, well it is being done. I found more than I anticipated when I searched her arrest records with the help of the GA DA'S office she was arrested more than once for credit card fraud and has done Prison time which she ran from but was arrested in GA and spent a year in prison.. That doesn't happen to innocent people.
I was stupid for trusting her but it will all come out in the wash believe me and if you need proof just email me at purplestarent@sbcglobal.net I would be more than happy to provide you with anything you need.
I hate liars and I will do whatever I have to do to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else. The joke I want to share with everyone is you wouldn't believe what she actually said to me at court, she kept trying to talk to me and I asked her to leave me alone she said she was getting into some other business ventures if I would be interested? What a joke. Would I be interested in what???? I have crediable witnesses which she has no idea would go against her but I'm not her only victim, she can run but she cannot hide
PLEASE BEWARE AND STAY AWAY FROM LESLIE LELAND and HAIR EX!!! I don't want to see this happen to anyone else.
And if you have to buy nit infested hair from her pay cash if you use your credit card you better check it because she will be down at the local Western Union collecting on your $.
For the person who asked for the India hookup I will get that to you, I also know a legit place in CA that anyone looking for Great Indian Hair can purchase it. There is a place in CA called Hair Diva's they are legit and have good quality hair they are located in San Leandro, CA I will post there business number for you.
I just wanted everyone to know I haven't gone away I didn't just post something because I was mad at her no I am for real and soon enough she will know how for real I am. What you do in the dark always comes out in the light. She never puts anything in her name but its okay the people I have working on it know what they are doing. Funny if you are on the up and up why is it everything you own is in someone else's name???
SO AGAIN IF YOU NEED HAIR DON'T GO TO HAIR EX the markup is way over priced she will smile in your face while she rips you off.
She has contacted me on more than one occasion wanting to workout something but of course she has never offered me what she owes me so I will get it rather it be criminal or financial. She deserves to be exposed for who she is and what she is doing to anyone that gets involved with her hopefully I can prevent someone else from being scammed out of there money, she thinks she is slick to slick to be caught but she has met her match.
I was diagnosed with a baseball size brain tumor in 2007 they removed all but 2 centimeters of it, she even had the nerve to call me in the hospital to say she was praying for me I told her I don't need the devils prayers. Amazing how she will use any opportunity to wiggle her way in so you will think she is your friend while taking you for all you've got.
She will take advantage of anyone who lets her and if you go to the Secretary of State website for GA they keep all records on the changes she continually makes as far as who is in business with her they are available to view. Once she gets someone that will invest and sign on some loan she will add them to the business when she is done with you and stops paying on the loans she will then distance herself from you and goes on about her business without you. In between scams she inherits identities and credit cards and has a hay day at Western Union. If what I am saying is not true why hasn't she sued me for defamation of character? It's because I have the information to back up everything I have said. I thought one of her business partners was different but she ended up only being a mouth piece for her.
Like the saying goes someone is always watching, its to bad she has involved so many people in this. I don't have a rip off mentality and I don't scam people I was always very trusting and this is what happened. Thank you for the advice I am well aware of the DEA and have taken the steps to see that she is stopped I witnessed her doing it and she doesn't blink an eye to self medicate herself which she did quite regularly when I was around, she was always trying to find the right antidepressant to take trying to help herself. Who knows who she gets medication for because she knows how to get the Dr's ID number she calls any Dr's office and says she works for an insurance company then calls the pharmacy with that ID #and calls in perscriptions in someone else's name they never ask for ID when you pick up medication.
Email me and I will get you the information you want about the hair it would be nice to have a legit place for people to go and purchase hair in GA, Arizona and anywhere else in the US besides doing business with LESLIE LELAND or HAIR EX. The hands of the law are on my side you may even read about it in the newspaper with luck it will make the news so everyone will know the real Leslie Leland and all of these magazines that promoted her after she hired a person to promote her as some successful black business woman will see who and what they were promoting I have contacted some of them and advised them to do back ground checks on the people they want to promote especially when its someone who will rip off whoever she comes in contact with.
Take Care and always beware if it sounds to good to be true it usually is! i will keep you posted on the status of my cases the truth will set me free and the mask will be removed from her face for the world to see hopefully she will be back in a cell where she might really find the Lord.

I don't know neither of you but if what you are saying about Leslie's criminal involvement with prescription medications is true, then all you have to do is contact the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) here in Georgia or the Feds and they will start an investigation.
Also, would you give me the name of your contacts in India for the hair?
Thanks and I hope this helps!

Leslie Leland how amazing you are to actually call yourself a Christian when you make a statement that is full of nothing but lies, maybe you should read the 10 commandments and read your bible so you actually know what being a Christian really means. Thou Shall Not Lie or Steal. Your entire statement is false. Let's pick it apart line by line.
You did scam me out of $200,000 and No I did not file charges against you for scamming me out of the $200,000, actually I filed charges against you for forging my name on an application to purchase a Range Rover which you had told me you wanted to get so you could try to get your man back, we were actually on speaking terms then but I had no knowledge of you forging my name on the application to purchase it. I will be sure to post the warrant that was issued on the forgery and the only reason it was dismissed is because the Fulton Counties DA's office couldn't prove you signed the FORGED document in Fulton County because you purchased it in Florida and I have NEVER been to Florida so don't mislead anyone into thinking you were cleared of anything else THAT IS THE ONLY REASON THE CHARGES WERE DISMISSED it wasn't because you weren't GUILTY because you were. The money you scammed me out is not over it's just the beginning but now is not the time to tell you anything. But please whoever reads this know that it was forgery for the purchase of a Range Rover that has been repossessed because when I found out about it I took it from her. And for someone who is doing so well why did you have to use a Public Defender and if you weren't guilty why did I get so many desperate calls from you begging me to drop the charges? I still have your messages when you called me and had your friend call me. Just like the Deputy DA said, if it looks like DIRT it is DIRT only their hands were tied because you purchased it out of Florida.
Come on Leslie we know what you have done with the Dr's and everything else you have done in your life, funny you failed to mention how you were on the run after being sentenced to PRISON for fraud and how you were caught in Atlanta and spent a year in prison for it which of course you failed to mention to me when you wanted to go into business together because I had excellent credit but you on the other hand had nothing. So it isn't over till I say I am done. I really want to know MS CHRISTIAN why would you feel you have to mention I am a white woman and you are black? What does race have to do with anything? How ignorant are you to think that race played a part in any of this? My kids are mixed what does that have anything to do with it. I guess you want it to look like this white woman is going after you because what your black????? Anyone that knows me knows race means NOTHING to me and if that's all you have to fall back on you are less than the woman anyone would think you might have been and instead of owning up to it you want to play the victim "oh I'm black and she is picking on me" I don't think any black woman or man would look at you as the victim if they saw it all in black and white and yes I have everything to back up whatever I say here or in court it is all documented.
Yes I was on the Secretary of State as a partner I would ask that everyone go and look at it where they can see where you put me on the business than took me off after you got what you wanted. Yes we did apply for business loans in fact I have the contract you wrote up that we both signed and had notorized where it states if I were to access any of the funds that were to be used ONLY for the business the contract would be nil and void and that ANY AND ALL LEGAL ACTION should be taken against you should the loans go into default. I do remember going to B of A to apply for a loan but because all of the mail went to the business you received the approval and of course being the trusting person I was I believed in you, so you were a signer on the account and you helped yourself to $50,000 which I only became aware of by accident. You kill me with your all mighty attitude like you are a saint, who for one cannot spell use spell check, but you tell your side of the story and actually believe it, your ex-boyfriend even came to court with me against you he wasnt there for you in regard to the Range Rover, he was there for ME, you will stab whoever gets in your way in the back it's amazing you have anyone in your life that cares about your reputation. Putting my picture up is fine yes I had a Hair Ex shirt on remember I was the owner or co-owner only you couldnt bring anything to the table you were broke. Tell it like it is you will at some point have to and when you thought I was stupid I was keeping records and I HAVE EVERYTHING to backup what I have said and what has transpired between us so when you thought I was stupid which I was when it came to you, I kick myself in the butt when I think of what you have done to me but you know what it will all come out at the end of the day and as far as my credit don't worry yourself you may however want to worry about yourself because my life is GREAT!!! Life goes on for me wonder when yours will come to a halt???
If anyone out there wants clarification of any of the accusations I have made feel free to email me I would be happy to show you you whatever you need to verify what I am stating is true, her criminal record is public record I should have investigated further but she was good once a fake always a fake but she messed with the wrong person I'm sure you will hear far more about this only it won't be hear it will be for everyone to hear. I just want others to know so they won't be the next victim on her list.
So Leslie Leland start being a true Christian and stop lying not only to yourself but to your family and everybody else you come into contact with, I trusted you whoever you are and you did what you do well YOU SCAMMED ME the only thing I am guilty of is trusting you, that is the only thing you have taken away from me. $75,000 I wish show me the money Leslie you are such a LIAR!!! Your rebuttal is worth a great laugh that I am out for revenge??? You didn't even know what you were charged with obviously if you couldn't be honest about something I have in black and white which I will be posting so that everyone knows who the honest one here is. Truth and integrity??? Amazing do you know what those words mean? The numerous attempts to contact me were to beg for my mercy to drop the charges against you I could go on and on and prove to everyone who is telling the truth but truth does prevail and being the CHRISTIAN I am I know God doesn't like ugly so repent and stop continuing to lie to yourself as well as everyone else. Like I said read your bible then practice it.
By the way the mark up on her lice infected hair is way to much she is making way to much on everyone who purchases hair from her than again she has no hair so her customers have to pay to keep her up but check out other places before you purchase from her there are better deals out there and you can actually purchase it directly from India anyone that wants to know where just ask I will give you the contact info.
So when you say I will get what I deserve you are d**n right I WILL GET WHAT I DESERVE!!!!!! AND SO WILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The case filed against Leslie Leland was for a Range Rover she purchased and signed my name to so don't fool yourself Leslie and if you are a Christian you set a very bad example for all Christians as well as myself. You are nothing but a LIAR!!
But it will all come out in the wash. You thought I was stupid which I was then I was diagnosed with a baseball size brain tumor so what was excuse for your actions???
You are a sorry person you owe me.

LESLIE LELAND IS A LIAR!!!!!

SUBMITTED: Monday, March 22, 2010
LESLIE LELAND IS NOTHING BUT A SCAMMER!!! SHE'S WORRIED ABOUT HER REPUTATION???? FUNNY SHE FAILED TO MENTION SHE HAS A PRISON RECORD FOR FRAUD. Yes that's me and I financed Hair Ex, I never made $75,000 or anything I was suppose to be the owner and yes the charges in Fulton County were dismissed only because they couldn't prove if she FORGED MY NAME in Fulton County or Florida, but don't worry this is not over.
The picture is was taken as part of the scam when I was going be co-owner of Hair Ex so if that's proof she did nothing wrong shame on her, she is a LIAR and wants to be more than she will EVER be, so don't let the fake hair and fake smile take the next person to the cleaners. Ask her about the drug dealer she put in prison so she could rip him off it was her boyfriend. I believe he's still looking for her that's what I've been told.
Fulton Counties DA office dropped the ball but I haven't and she is supposed to be so successful but he had to use a Public Defender to represent her. She's fake and whoever does business with her is one mistake away from being in the position I am in.
Leslie Leland you are a fraud and everyone knows it so get over yourself and be woman enough to pay your debt you owe a lot of people PAY UP!!!!

The only reason I am responding to this nonsense is because of a family memeber's concern about my reputation. I am Leslie Leland owner of Hair-Ex. My ex business partner Betty Elder filed this false report agaist me claiming that I scammed her out of $200k. Betty filed this same claim in Fulton County courts in 2007 claiming that I fraudulently used her credit and signed her name to recieve $200k in busines loans. Fulton county courts investigated her claims for 2 years and dismissed this complaint last year due to lack of evidence that a crime,fraud or a scam had taken place.
I can understand Betty using any mean possible to try to restore her credit because the business loans are now in default. My guess is that if she can somehow prove that I forged her name she would be exonerated of the debt. The banks are refusing this excuse because Betty Elder physically appeared in the banks to sign for the loans. I could'nt possibly have forged her name because Betty Elder is a 50 year old white woman and I'm a 37 year old black woman. Betty is also listed on the GA. Secretary of State Hair-Ex documents as an owner.
Betty was a willing participant and recipient of $75k of the business loans she co signed for. Our plan was for Hair-Ex to repay the business loans monthly and we did faithfully for 2 years untill the economy along with my business took a turn for the worse. I have tried on numerous occasions to contact Betty to discuss a re payment plan for the loans as well as some alternate ways to assist her in restoring her credit.
Her refusal to respond to my attempts for a solution further proves that she is set on following this destructive path of vengence which is totally unneccesary. I am a christian woman and refuse to air this false dirty laundry via the internet. Those of you who know me personally know my character well. I have been successful in all of my business dealings and will continue to pursue the path of truth and integrity. Those of you who are discouraged about doing business with me because of this false personal vendetta filed against me, I ask you to please read between the lines....
Betty, this is not the way to get what you want, but this is a sure way to get what you deserve. God bless you...

LESLIE LELAND OWNER OF HAIR EX IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA
AUTHOR: Purple Star - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, February 10, 2010
Leslie Leland is a scam artist! She owns Hair Ex which has 3 business locations which was all started by scamming me who thought she was financing a business which would be both of there's after getting $200,000 and a signed and notorized document which stated if she failed to repay the loans any and all legal action should be taken against her. Well she stopped paying on the loans removed me from the business then to top it off she then forged my name on a vehicle purchased under Hair-Ex and signed my name as the guarantor. I filed a warrant and the warrant was granted but it took a year for the Fulton County DA's office to finally bring her to court on charges, the Fulton County DA's office is not sufficient when it comes to the victims of crime. I am not going away! I was never called by the DA's office to find out any information that I had to persue the fraud charges against her.
I want to file a civil lawsuit against her but I need the money to do it. She has ruined my credit, she has taken what I could have used to open my own business away from me. She has spent time in Prison for fraud which I did not find out until after the fact. She's good at taking what is not hers to take. One of the business loans she used for $50,000 that we had applied for was used up by her I was never aware it had even been approved she did this with 2 other loans as well.
The first business loan was for $100,000 I flew to NY the guy that handled the loan was in on it to which I didn't know at the time. It wasn't until the loan went delinquent that I asked the bank to send me all of the loan information, in the application packet there was a tax return with my name on it but no signature. It was not my tax return in fact I was never asked for a tax return. I had excellent credit and was told it was because I had excellent credit the loan was approved. She went to India purchased hair and played the part well. I was put on the Secretary of State documents as an agent just as she was but after she got what she wanted I was removed, she then began to distant herself from me then the bills for all of the loans started coming to my daughters house, she had changed the address on each loan and said she was no longer going to pay them. When I found out about the forgery on the truck she purchased I filed a warrant against her.
She is a scammer and a liar and after I filed the warrant against her she tried to contact me to find out what it would take to dismiss charges. There is nothing she could do to make it right but pay me what she owes me or give me the business's that are rightfully mine. I financed the start of the business she was slick I will hand her that but aren't all professional rip off's slick?
Don't mess with Leslie Leland she makes it to good to be true and it is. She has commited fraud using other peoples credit cards and has been in prison for it. She will smile in your face and presents all of these official looking documents to convince you she is legit when all along she will take you to the cleaners she tried to convince me I didn't have a case but it was because she was scared knowing she already has a record for fraud, and spent time in prison.
What kills me most is she is featured in all of these magazines as some professional business woman they don't care how she became who she says she is they just think if it looks good it must be great. I am here to set the record straight. If there is an attorney out there who would like to help me with my civil lawsuit against her please let me know I need someone who is good but then again it won't be hard to convince a jury of what she is really all about, and I have the notorized document that states clearly in it, if she stopped paying the loans any and all legal action should be taken against LESLIE LELAND so called owner of HAIR EX in Atlanta, GA please contact me.
