Lauton Funding and lauran Bonaparte in New York works closely with Barrett Capital of Ontario Canada, and Prospexx which really are the same but are both run by Tom McKenzie who uses his daughter, Michalea Barrett posing as the head of Barrett Capital Exchange. All supposed deals that go to Barrett and Michalea Barrett are then filtered to Tom McKenzie.

If you go on google and put in Lauton Funding, you will see all the free sites that they can register their names on to flood the page and make them look impressive when in reality, they are thieves!!!!

Here is how the scam works - Lauton takes your project and gives it to Barrett who in turn makes you think it is an incredible project. They set up a conference call with Tom McKenzie who makes you think he can get your project funded within their group which never happens.

Lauton gets a Letter of Interest from Barrett Capital and Tom McKenzie. They camoflouge the name and before you can get the LOI from Barrett thinking this is your dream being fulfilled, you have to pay fee's to Lauton. Once those fees are paid, then there are fee's that have to be paid to Barrett Capital.
See where I am going now????

These individuals take fee's from innocent people they give false hopes to that their project will be funded which NEVER happens. Lauton Funding tries to protect itself to looking good by posting 3 liners that their impressive legal team rebutts all the bad that is said about them meanwhile, the person that is at loss is the individual that paid all these fees and never gets funded. Lauton has no money and is a paperpusher to brokers that deliver meaningless LOI's that they get paid a fee for doing.

Lauran Bonaparte is a scam artist as well as Tom McKenzie and Barrett Capital and Prospexx.

STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE - THEY WILL LITERALLY TAKE YOUR MONEY AND DELIVER ZERO !!!!

THEY FUND!!!!

AUTHOR: SAM - (United States of America)

POSTED: Saturday, September 22, 2012

Erie Business Force Tom Mckenzie They actually fund deals. Internet, Internet

In the world of wanting to get your project funded everyone wants a sure thing. Well the main reason deals do not get funded is because they are not good deals. There are many things that cause this, a poor plan, inexperience of the creator, a poor team, not asking for enough or too little money and most of all the back ground of the person creating the plan.

All investors check you out, do a back ground, run a D+B and most of all verify that your plan works or in fact is your plan. This is called diligence and it costs money and the average cost is in the $500.00 range, but if it is done in house the cost is lower.

The next time an investor approaches you on funding your project you do your diligence and do a back ground check, a D+B, a credit report and back ground on the investor. Do this instead of posting the investor on a website to see if anyone has dealings with them. Posting some on a website is scounterproductive and is not doing your diligence.

Because sooner or later the real scammers will start posting positive responses to your postings and then they really will scam you. In the world of business intelligence this is what is called counter intelligence. You counter the threat by being proactive instead of listening to rumors. Do your real due diligence and not creating a rumor mill.

Tom does fund deals.

AUTHOR: SAM - (United States of America)

POSTED: Friday, September 21, 2012

Before Tom or as he is know by his friends as "Mack" posted on his web site www.tmebf.com all of the companies he provided funding for or was a part of the funding project. He is now retired, but still does take a few projects that are worthy.

The people that posted this blog were some of the few that did not get funded. The reason for this was that upon investigation of the project it was found not to hold water or information found when the back ground check was done did not match what the company owner had represented to be of their fact.

This information was then presented to the company owner or broker who presented the project and a letter was generated stating that their project was not a valid undertaking and the Mack would not nor will he be part of the project presented.

The owner of the project took it upon themselves and chose to post a blog disparaging any and all parties. This is their right, since it is protected under the "Freedom of speech act". Is it morally right, no. It is their opinion., but they should stand up and say who they are so Mack and his people can defend themselves against who is posting the blog.

Their animosity is what they used to hide and speak from the shadows instead of coming into the light so we can dispute their claims and let it be heard for all to hear. Instead of hiding behind a curtain.

Mack does fund deals

AUTHOR: Tom Steck - (United States of America)

POSTED: Monday, September 17, 2012

To both of these posters. Mack does fund deals, the last posting looks as if it from a broker, whom set up and took the funds for the dilagence from the person applying for the investment or loan. I would have to say the fault lies with him or her since they post but do not state whom they are. In addition, Mack stated that he did not even deal with a John Harris, so there it is the broker is trying to put blame on Mack. The fault lies with the broker.

The Original Post is True!

AUTHOR: gsswho81@gmail.com - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, October 22, 2009

I have dealt with Tom and Michalea earlier this year only to have client pay due diligence fees and not get funded. I have also worked with Lauton Funding only to find out that they will not work on any deals without first collecting a b.s. non refundable retainer fee. Anyone can make up references! The LOI that is issued from Barrett Capital has working similar to that of a broker. They do not fund...PERIOD! My clients have lost funds even after being told that they would fund in 2 weeks and the final terms and contracts will be available within 48hours. Listen to John, he is 100% accurate. Stay away from these companies/people!!!!!

False Allegations

AUTHOR: Lauton Funding - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, August 10, 2009

We do not know who John Harris is nor have we done business with him in conjunction with Barrett Capital. We believe this to be part of a malicious smear campaign spearheaded by frustrated competitors.

If, however, this is in fact a bona fide complaint, please present your facts and we'll be more than happy to provide you with a satisfactory resolution.

We invite RippofReports own Corporate Advocacy & Customer Satisfaction Program to investigate these false allegations.
