Quit playing it off as disgruntled employees

You, in my opinion are a complete fraud. As an operator, I cannot understand why you wouldnt properly complete the wells you drilled? Would you like me to use the Texas RRC documents with your signature as evidence? You are garbage and should be thrown in prison. Anyone who has been swindled by this man, feel free to have your attorneys contact me through this site and I will have my Engineers and Geologists review everything for free for you.

Postings Here are FAKE!!!

SUBMITTED: Friday, December 12, 2014
This "report" is completely FAKE and was created by a disgruntled former employee, now a direct competitor, named Marshall Craig. The company and it's owner are currently in the process of pursuing legal action against Mr. Craig for theft, breach of contract, Libel, and defamation of character. Do NOT believe anything you read in his false report. There is not one single accurate statement made in his "report", it is completely false and full of outrageous LIES about the company and it's owner. North American Drilling Corporation drills oil and gas wells and operates wells that are currently producing oil and sending revenue to participants.
However, whether or not a well is drilled and hits commercial oil, a dry hole, or is a marginal producer, that is the risk involved when investing in oil and gas well drilling ventures. If you cannot afford to take that risk then you should never invest in drilling ventures since the money is spent drilling the wells and a return can only come from monthly revenue checks with a commercial well. If the well was drilled and completed then the company did what it was supposed to do, regardless of the outcome of the well. Commercial well or dry hole, you either accept the risk for the potential reward and accept whatever the outcome may be, or you don't invest in oil and gas drilling deals at all.

SUBMITTED: Thursday, December 11, 2014
After doing research and finding out questionable practices I had wished to cut all ties with North American Drilling Corporation and president Larry Koonce. He had agreed to rescind and pay back $13,500 in the contract which was $580.00 short from what I originally paid which was 14,080 in a joint venture, waiving that I had signed the contract anyhow believing it was a stall tactic by him to take more time to write another. Just wanting to cut ties as quick as possible. The Rescind contract was made and signed by him on 1/30/14 and signed, sent back to him on 2/3/14. He had made a payment of $5000.00 on 3.4.14 with the promise of paying the rest by end of week, which never came and after several Emails back and fourth on fallowing weeks of promise to pay rest, with each promise and deadline broken, come and gone until now I am forced to write you, the first leg of me trying to get the balance of $9000.00 back that we both signed the contract. I need the money back and do not wish to take civil actions for the cost it would cost me. I am hoping you can talk some sense in him sense I have been trying for months, being very patient with him. We have a legal binding contract and I have many E-mails and voice recordings saying he will pay. I have had spinal surgery and very bad spine condition and am not able to fight him. I just want what is mine and to be done with him. Please send him a letter and maybe it will wake him up. He doesn't have a leg to stand on and it will cost him much more if he doesn't just pay me.

Larry Koonce North American Drilling Scam
AUTHOR: JamesOReiley - ()
SUBMITTED: Thursday, December 11, 2014
I am trying to figure out what is FAKE. Is the Better Busines Bureau open Complaints about you scaming investors Fake?Are your own pictures putting up used equipment instead of new that the investors paid for and were charged for FAKE? Are the Court Documents showing you have been convicted of Fraud with investors money Fake? Is the fact you have pulled this same scam under four different companies name Fake? Is the Fact you wont return my phone calls about any of my four wells and 200k fake? Is the fact your sending out small revenue checks to couple of investors but not all of them keeping the money for yourself Fake? Is the Fact all you do is show oil on your updates on all of the 25 wells you have drilled and never paid back there investors there investment Fake? NADC is doors are closing and Larry Koonce and Gayle Wimberly are going to jail. That is not Fake.

Now NADC and Larry Koonce stealing revenue
AUTHOR: JStewert20 - ()
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, December 03, 2014
North American Drilling is sending out Revenue checks on the Boothe 2A to a handful of investors and not sending out all the investors there revenue. He is keeping it or running another scam. One investors gets a check for over a $1,000 dollars on 166 barrells sold of oil and nobody else gets one on the well he is again mis appropriating funds into his pocket another Felony. Call the authorities to help stop this criminal. Make him answer to something he has screwed people for rather than say its a employee when anyone with two eyes can see the court documents and the used equipement he is installing after the investors paid for brand new equipment. He is a thief.

SUBMITTED: Tuesday, November 25, 2014
The "Report" itself and the consumer "Comments" posted here are completely FALSE! They were all created by the same person, Marshall Craig, who happens to be a disgruntled former employee of the company. -THAT IS THE TRUTH!!! DO NOT believe the negative postings that you read here. ***North American Drilling Corporation drills oil wells, it has producing oil wells, sends revenue to participants monthly, is not related to any other companies, has never had fraud charges filed against it, has never been in bankruptcy, etc., -ALL of the accusations you see in the "report" and "comments" are completely FALSE and can be easily proved to be false in a court of law, where certain individuals are soon going to find themselves for the Libel, defamation, and LIES that they have been posting against this company and it's employees.

Still defrauding investors with equipment fraud.
AUTHOR: JamesOReiley - ()
SUBMITTED: Friday, November 21, 2014
Here is another observation of the scam Larry Koonce has pulled on his investors. We have paid 20k per point of Interest,7k completion we were promised and paid for top of the line equipment. As I am going to show he buys used junk and puts the extra money in his pocket as well when the used equipment doesnt work he calls for a bogus assessment charge from investors. We have already paid two assessments on this well taken three years do to anything. First Well head is blue and never worked so he went home wited another three weeks and replaceed with a used black one. We dont want the problems of used equipment we want the equipment we paid for brand new we dont want the junk that breaks down you thief.

Scamming us on equipment now thief Larry Koonce
AUTHOR: Steve Prine - ()
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, November 19, 2014
We have waited three years and paid 60k for our interest in the well then 16k for completion that Larry Koonce said he needed imediately then did not do anything for two years. We have been assesed 3 times for $3,250 dollars. So today he starts to finish up one of the 1 of four wells were involved in and he is putting in used equipment that does not look like it will make it day. Why are we getting used old equipment after all the money we spent what has he done with our money. When will this man stop scamming us no oil , no revenue checks, nothing but excuses and lies he is doing the same thing he did at his prior 4 companies that he was shut down at pocketing the money for his lifestyle and screwing investors ever he can do not put any money with this company. I am posting a picture of what this man put out there today as what should been a new Tank on our well look at this old used tank that is about to fall over. Sad he got us again thief.

Four wells 200k scammed over three years.
AUTHOR: John Wiese - ()
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, November 18, 2014
I invested 200,000 dollars on the Boothe 2A, Brown 1A, Brazelton 2A, Brown 1 now after three years not one revenue check or drop of oil. I got my attorney's involved after he would not give me back my 50k on the Brown 1 they are making great progress. North American Drillling is under investigation by the Attoney General, State Comptroller, Texas railroad commission. He has mismanaged funds for his own private use just like the did at his other company NorthStar Drilling. This time the court is taking him to jail. I am writing off my 200k as it being stolen from me by a thief and liar biggest one I ever heard of. But I will not stop until he is brought to justice. He pays every bill he has with investors money then gives out lies when the work is supposed to be done. I have heard he put a 5k dollar fish tank in his office out investors money while the investors had been waiting two years for him to finish the worlk. He is a criminal. Dont invest he is going to jail and the company will be closed down,

Court Cases for Fraud underneath NorthStar energy were they were shut down for Securities fraud and milked million off investor on 12 well not a drop of oil on any of them. No revenue checks, no repayment to investors just Larry Koonce same scam over 25 well not one investors paid back just there initial investment.
LARRY KOONCE AND NORTH AMERICAN DRILLING ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR FRUAD BY THE STATE OF TEXAS AND INDIVIDUAL ATTORNEY WHO HAVE SERVED LARRY KOONCE TO GET THERE MONEY BACK.RIGHT NOW THEY WONT STAY OPEN LONG BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY COMMIT FRAUD ON ALL TRANSACTIONS.
Order number CDO/FIN 1533 State Securities Board www.ssb.state.tx.us/Enforcement/Files/1533
Look it up Larry convicted of fraud in the Steate of Texas
CD-2010-0008 Alabama Securities Commission convicts Larry Koonce of fraud
www.asc.Alabama.gov/orders/2010/CD-2010-0008.pdf
Right there for you to look defrauded investors convicted
State of Utah Convictes Larry Koonce of Securities Fraud
www.securities.utah.gov/dockets/0500437.PDF
Larry Koonce is out of business he is gong to be closed down because the state is gong to close his doors for fraud. Any money going in there is lost just like all his well projects, Instead of blaming it on employees he should be telling you about Wells that are producing but he cant there is none. Like I said he is days from being shut down spending money with him is just burning it on his legal fund.

Larry Koonce has made a career scamming investors, He has a long line of bankrupted companies and a long list of security violations. Just look up his name under Google Larry Koonce he cant deny facts. Now he is doing the same scamming investors with bankrupt leases, fraudulent supposed geologist reports and ridicoulous assessment charges. Larry koonce or any of his bankrupted companies have never returened the investor back just theer original invetment on over 25 oil well projects.
The only person that has ever made money is Larry Koonce himself. Go to the Texas Rail Road Commission website get the names of the wells and call them RRC and ask about production on his wells under the name North American Drilling , Northstar Energy, Texas Security Brokers, Plano oil and gas, Get smart and dont be a victim like my wife and I and trust Larry Koonce he is a thief. Stop Enabling him to pay himself and Gayle Wimberly and none of the investors back there money. Go to the Authorities.
