I purchased a "healthy products" website from Electric Properties that was advertised online under business to buy under franchise and small business....  Casey or whatever his real name is stated there were four catergories for and online to succed under and circumstances - health products, outdoors, pets and smokers.  I did research on his name and company and found nothing to think this was a scam so I choose the smokerstlc website. He did a good job selling/convincing and then dropped off communictaing once I was vested w/ registering the company as LLC etc  Cost was $7800.

I did a wire transfer from my bank. Everything was fine and he even communicated with me after the purchase wtih speaking on the phone and via email - not until this week (3/12/2018) that communication has stopped completely - no answered phone calls or email. I started to do more research and foound a scam posting today.  He reported himself a "christian, family man" and even sent a picture of himself and someones family. Christmas program.  Do not do business with any of these people or these companies!!!  I am not in Michagen but will do what i can to report them and hopefully those who where scam can see some justice.

I reported this guy to the FBI!

AUTHOR: Derek - (United States)

POSTED: Friday, October 05, 2018

 Hey guys he almost got me too beware of this scam he is on bizbuysell.com and he is also on other businesses/Websites for sale websites. I found him on BusinessBroker.net. He is a complete scam do not wire money. Here is a tip guys anytime you are looking to buy a business always ask for 5 years Tax Returns, 5 Years Profit & Loss Statements, and Bank Statements over the last 12 months. Any legitimate business opportunity will be able to prove what they are earning or how much their websites earn. Sellers expect buyers to do their due diligence and a good business that's not failing or not a scam will have complete and well organized financials to prove their earnings. Lets take down this dirtbag I suggest you go to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint link below and file a report.

I already did even though I lost no money. Also report any of the ads to the business for sale websites. I am afraid I saw another scam too on the business for sale websites too guys but I have not reported it yet this scammer is selling mortgage leads claiming you can make $200k a year gross income. He says he has only business since February 2018 and he will give you access to his Mortgage Leads websites and provide support on how you can buy Mortgage leads online and sell the leads essentially doubling your profits. He says there are no customers, no calls need to be made. everything is online. I asked him for proof that his business model was making $15k+ per month with Bank Statements, Tax Returns, P&L statements etc. and he disappeared. So its pretty obvious this guy could not prove his business model works which is a sign of scam he wants you to pay $10k upfront and says he will help finance the business without any real financials he can prove. He is asking $40k for the business and charges 5% royalties every on your profits. I saw his ads all over bizbuysell.com and other business for sales wesites. He is advertising his scam in multiple states. Beware of this mortgage leads scam business.

I almost fell for it too!

AUTHOR: Jennifer - (United States)

POSTED: Wednesday, June 27, 2018

I almost fell for the exact same thing except for the outdoor website that he has--- he offered the healthy prodcuts website too. His name was "Jay Peters' and he gave the same story, Christian, $7800 for a website, 20K in a month, blahblahblah. I was in the process of getting a cashiers check at the bank when my gut told me to rethink this-- so glad I did. I called him out for the scam artist he is and now he is tryingto blow up my phone and email with legal action threats. His English and spelling is so bad that I knew no self respecting lawyer would ever send out electronic communication like that. I have blocked all of this numbers now and his email goes straight to junk folder.  i hope others are successful in their legal pursuit of him....it really is a huge scheme that he is running...

I have been in communication with the same company today, but his name is Jay. Thank you for the heads up. I hope you can get your money back in North Carolina. I plan to report them to bizbuysell where I found them.
