I.V.C. Group (aka International Venture Capital Group) ripoff financial scheme New York New York

I wired my entire life savings ( $510,000 ) to International Venture Capital Group ( I.V.C. Group) on good faith that they would honor the terms of the online contract and privide me with a steady monthly income (since I am currently unemployed and have no other source of income) as well as build cash equity for the future.
In good faith I incurred a tremendous 2003 tax liablility (>$250,000) that was to be covered by the cash dividend paid on my money by I.V.C. Group.

Everything seemed to be going along OK until I wired the last amount of my money. I heard from Richard Blackwell, my representative at I.V.C. Group, for the last time on July 9th. Jim Hull called me twice after that and said he was responsible for customer service. Jim also said he submitted the request to correct the account and that I would probably be getting the money owed me in one lump wire at the beginning of the following week. That money has never shown up. The required direct deposit transfers to my account have stopped and I have never received the contract that I was suppose to receive.

At this point there is no way to get ahold of anyone at I.V.C. Group. They have not been responding to emails or returning phone calls since mid-July. The answering service has told me that the majoriy of IVC's calls are about not getting money and IVC not returning phone calls. Several of the people at the answering service have told me not to wait but go out and get an attorney.

IVC has every dollar I had to my name. I have no way to survive since I am unemployed.
