Has The Investment Group - Larry Higgins Scammed You Too?  Please contact me for a class action suit.

This guy will say whatever it takes to get the upfront fee and then will dance around, get confused (I thought their was real estate with the business) and then send you down the road. 

He stages little hiccups along the way that he says resulted in 6 out 6 denials and there you go, he's fulfilled his contract.  

Larry is a Predator and should be stopped. He strong armed me to get the money by telling me his company would bill for services to date.  After he gets the money, he keeps emphaiszing how hard his company is working.

Do not believe the words that come out of his mouth.  He has  been doing this for 15 years and is a pro. He gets paid whether you get the financing or not.  And I really believe he didn't make any atempt.

Again I asked for proof 3 times and he says I have no merit.  He little bobo on real estate is the deal breaker and his out.  He told another guy who Gave him $30,000 up front to find properties 70% LTV, which he couldn't do and was out $30,000.

 News Flash - Putting a deal in front of investers in not hard work, maybe two hours max. This guy is a class act not.  I really believe he had no intention for this deal to go through and has benefitted $8500 from just me because he knows he can say anything to get the money and then hide behind his contract that says he only has to attempt to get funding.  My problem is, I don't think he even attempted to get the funding.

TIG Ripoff Rebutta

AUTHOR: David - (United States)

POSTED: Thursday, February 20, 2020

Let’s start by saying that the cease and desist ordered by Larry is all part intimidation by the most powerful man in the nation.  President/CEO of a group of investors that buy and sell commercial real estate, Supreme Lending and ha partners.  If this was real, then all would be liable for his above fraudulent actions and nobody is saying a word.

The extent Larry is willing to go to cover his actions speaks for itself.  He posted fraudulent personal and business credit file in an effort to justify the results.  The facts he states above are more lies in an to save his validity.  Larry has learned he can lie and intimidate and has become very good at it, but you can only fool some of the people some of the time. 

I have been scammed many times and know what to look for.  Here are some signs.

  • Tells the client how who you are and how hard you are working every time you talk.
  • Tells the client that if he doesn’t sign the agreement, you will be billed for all the hours he has worked on your project.
  • Must wait 10 days after the wire transfer is in his business account before you start or get a contract.
  • He verbally tells you something and then says he never said that.
  • 3 week after we start underwriting, he says he thought the deal include the real estate.
  • 6 week delay for up to date Financials from the sellers, he had to sign a ND, so there was no way to show me.
  • 1 Lender Almost Funded the deal, then 5 denials, then the first lender will look at it again and no will not finance it.
  • When asked for proof will say the proof is in the emails I sent you, then no I call them, then strike those emails and finally I have the proof in my office, but will not show you.
  • Attempts to bill you for time spent proving that he is not a scammer.
  • Then tell the world that you are the victim and that you were scammed.
  • Fraudulently say that the client and his business had bad credit.

Larry has learned that you can say anything and then deny it and most of the time get away with it.  The above rebuttal by Larry is proof and the only way he can get out of it is the slander the client.  He has broken the golden rule of confidentiality and it is in black and white above. 

He not only breached confidentiality, but breached fraudulent information which means his investment group, his lending company and partners are liable for not only civil damages but also possible criminal charges for defrauding an elderly depending on the extent of fraud. 

Larry was willing to settle out of court for less than 50% of the money I gave him.  Less than 50% of the money he would have not got if he had told me the truth.  You see scammers words do not hold up in court and scammers won’t show in court. 

Bottom line is, I am taking him to court on Fraudulent Breach of Confidentiality for his personal gain, Breach of contract,  Breach of Fiduciary Duty and Defrauding an elderly.

So you decide, who is the scammer and what they have to lose.
