Bill Stern, William Stern, Billy D Stern, Strategic Strategy Partners LLC Fraud, Investor Scam, Finance Fraud, Private Equity Fraud New York New York

This criminal is back. This is the same Bill Stern that you will find on this web site under jeans rip offs and other internet scams.

Now he operates under company names such as Strategic Strategy Partners LLC. Bill Stern contacts companies looking for funding on crowd funding sites. He lies and says that he has an investor or private equity firm interested in making an investment in your company. He provides legal paperwork, basically templates that he modifies himself, and charges 30K up front for the "legal" paperwork that his fictitious investor is requesting. From that point on he basically drags things on as long as he can in an effort to buy time and empty out his bank account. He has dealt with Santander bank. 

Bill Stern will go to great lengths. He will appear very friendly, meet you in person or even send one of his friends to meet you and talk "business". He provides fake references that he suppsoedly funded but never did. He also has a fake LinkedIn profile.

There is no investor. There are no private equity firms. This is all a scam to get you to wire funds to his account. He is a drug addict and convicted scammer.
