    Thomas Campbell is the worst con artist out there.  He will surf sites of business owners seeking investment funds (Startup Nation, others) and seek out young business owners/developers and ask for funds to start the investment search.  He signs contracts, talks to bankers, attornies (that you provide), and anyone else connected to you and will deceive you all.


    After a year, he will ask you for more money...$100 here, $300 there, $500  here until you are dry.  Luckily I didn't get caught for that much, but the damage done to my professional reputation is done.


    He includes in his contracts clearly written language for refunds but violates the same contracts that he writes.


    He is the worst person to do business with and is currently scamming on Facebook (surfing for women, though he is married) and business victims on Yahoo. 


    I invested $10,000 on a project because Thomas stated that we were ready and nothing happened.  Contracts signed, passports forged with fake passport numbers, written contracts that aren't real at all and even fake accounts to show deposits with Morgan Stanley that Morgan Stanley has verified are all fake.


    It has happened to at least 8 people that we know of, and there are 2 more on Yahoo I am trying to contact and warn.

Get your mind right

AUTHOR: Kevin - (United States of America)

Thomas,


Make no mistake, I am no punk and won't stand for your juvenile antics anymore.  Not impressed with whatever you have to say. 


You POSE as someone who can find money.  If you aren't careful I will detail EVERYTHING here and bring enough law enforcement to make a real statement.


You are a sham.  You have no direct contacts in any venue you have alleged.  You haven't talked to Steve Harvey, nor Gladys Knight as you lied.  You are NOT the owner of the Taboo Bistro II in Atlanta as you lied.  According to Lee County officials your street section 2015 is dirt poor, not able to be supported by a millionaire.  You claim you have a substantial front lawn 80' remember?  How you sitting on the porch talking to your neighbors in a quiet voice and I can hear cars in the back ground as they drive by?!  And you got the nerve to talk s**t to me!


Get your mind right Thomas, get out of this game now and stop scamming people.  We are all saying the exact same thing.  The law provides relief we will get if you won't do right.


You cant take personal information like SSN's, account numbers, monies when you know you aren't who you claim to be and the likelihood of your success is severely in question.  You can't write an LOI when you don't have direct access to these funds.


At best, your shopping loans after you made promises you couldn't keep, with cold calling tactics is an action of betrayal and not in "good faith".  Your floating material from banks whom you haven't contacted at all beyond the first tier contact is fraudulent.  I can prove anything I have alleged against you and take d**n good notes.


Yes, my claim involves the personal.  Your behavior on the personal does spill over into the business


You are a user, you are self absorbed, and arrogant enough to argue your position even when the gig is up instead of just shutting up, making things right and correcting your behavior.  If you can lie with no guilt as to consequence to your clients, I cannot.  You had no right to get me to contract employees you knew no real money to satisfy the contracts existed, thats conspiracy to commit fraud.


You knew I was rewiring a building to rent and you allowed me to invest my own monies in doing so.  You lied and said that the $13 million was there, even gave me a schedule of deposit for funds that "guess what" never showed!  Now I have people after me and you just lie on top of lie, on top of lie.  That is the problem.


You just dont stop.  Even when you are busted and your back is against the wall..teh Fedex didn't come by, the tracking number is one off, they don't know where it is and then you come back (I never signed anything so I don't have to).  The sheer number of complaints against you demonstrate a willfulness to lie and deceive. 


Executive Chefs HIRED/CONTRACTED their housing Contracted...for what?  A d**n lie.


And YOU have the nerve to act wounded?  Get your mind right son.


No one is attacking you without cause


We all trusted you.  The anger is that "we all trusted you" and you having supported a friendship entered into the friendship and partnership under very much so fraudulent pretenses.


You are very charismatic and obviously know the lingo, we are all in agreement.  But we don't need another friend.  We didn't pay you to be that.  We didn't pay for that, make calls on a daily basis for a d**n friend.  We needed funding and YOU sought US out in promise to get that done in 10 days or less...guaranteed.  Now 23 months later and four different platforms and banking visits, attornies appointments, failed wires (that for you fail after weeks of trying, but for everyone else is 10 minutes).


Remember Eric Schwaigart from Charter One Bank?  Remember Morgan Stanley?  Hey how about the mayors of Calumet City, Lansing, the State Representative Lisa Dugan and his honor the mayor of Manteno Bernie Thompson?  Why Thomas.  You lied.

Obviously this person has personal issue against me! When does facebook ,myspace, or any other website has anything to do with business or financing? Destroying someone creditability with web surfing does not have anything to do with business in hand. This person of my knowing that can be posted also has way too many personal issues! That I do know does not need to be express public! First of all, I am not lender and I am person that is for hired to find you money! I am contracted to do so!! It states it in my LOI contract, before I receive any funds for you! It states I and my company Third Due Diligence Party who introduced the second party (you) to the Investor!!! Yes we do change fees, but that is no different or no higher than what being charge by any major bank, financial institution, and etc.  They do not introduce you or your project to any investors or any funding partners of theirs for free!! You have to have SKIN IN THE GAME! You own money to the table! In which comes to the next question, Why hire me and any broker consultants that package your deal?? Why hire me or any broker consultants for anything you can do yourself?? You hired me because my professional wisdom and financial consultancy! That what I get paid for me!! There number clients who want me for partnerships, private placements, or employment placement with their company because what I can bring to the table or knowledge!! I have enough contracts by clients signed and documented to prove so! Your project have been submitted, this client has proof that I did so! There are even clients that the actually investor themselves!! But not close a project that has nothing to the table!! I am not GOD or the bank!!! I wish I could close every project to the table and give funding out of my own pocket! I have or had received of the most of finest projects, but I and my company cant fund every single one! Especially if client paid fess!! I am and my company should not or should not have an obligation by pressure to fund projects!! Every single one!!!!!!! Because of fees, personal matters, or timing!! Put it this way, If the banks do not why should we?? We are not a lender!! Our signed contracts (by you) do not say so, neither do we! We are THIRD PARTY OF DUE DILLIEGENCE PARTY who introduces the Investor to your project! That is what we paid for, is our resources!!! Just like the President of a None Mention mortgage bank states We do not hold a gun up to your head to signed a contract and pay a fee!!! You paid for our knowledge and resources  if those concepts do not work we put our heads together try to make something work to gain success of your project funding!

 

Second can we take a step back?? For one minute?? Both prospects are talking about personal, not professional!! What does that tell you???  Yes I and my company do charge fees, but they are no higher than the finest institutions or any bank that is out here charging higher than our fees themselves! Follow this advise, there no companies out will get money for fee! It takes money, to get money! If you are first started company you might as well start from the bottom and working your way through! There no such of Free Money, unless it is from the government! I stand strong in what I believe in as well as my associates and my company! Thank you ROFF Family!!!!

Oh yeah! The dictionary terms by: A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to separate investors from their own money or money paid by subsequent investors, rather than from any actual profit earned. The Ponzi scheme usually entices new investors by offering returns other investments cannot guarantee, in the form of short-term returns that are either abnormally high or unusually consistent. The perpetuation of the returns that a Ponzi scheme advertises and pays requires an ever-increasing flow of money from investors to keep the scheme going.

The system is destined to collapse because the earnings, if any, are less than the payments to investors. Usually, the scheme is interrupted by legal authorities before it collapses because a Ponzi scheme is suspected or because the promoter is selling unregistered securities. As more investors become involved, the likelihood of the scheme coming to the attention of authorities increases. While the system eventually will collapse under its own weight, the example of Bernard Madoff illustrates the ability of a Ponzi scheme to delude both individual and institutional investors as well as securities authorities for long periods: Madoff's variant of the Ponzi Scheme stands as the largest financial investor fraud in history committed by a single person. Prosecutors estimate losses at Madoff's hand totalling $64.8 billion.

The scheme is named after Charles Ponzi,[1] who became notorious for using the technique in early 1920. He had emigrated from Italy to the United States in 1903. Ponzi did not invent the scheme (Charles Dickens' 1857 novel Little Dorrit described such a scheme decades before Ponzi was born, for example), but his operation took in so much money that it was the first to become known throughout the United States. His original scheme was in theory based on arbitraging international reply coupons for postage stamps, but soon diverted investors' money to support payments to earlier investors and Ponzi's personal wealth.

Knowingly entering a Ponzi scheme, even at the last round of the scheme, can be rational economically if government bails out those participating in the Ponzi scheme.[2] If governments use newly created currency to bail out the scheme victims, the newly printed currency will devalue the rest of the currency in circulation, meaning all holders of that currency will suffer inflation to the currency. However, Ponzi schemes cannot last forever. [3]
