Advance-Fee Loan Scams: Easy' Cash Offers Teach Hard Lessons, the catch comes when you apply for the loan and find out you have to pay a fee in advance. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, that could be a tip-off to a rip-off. If you're asked to pay a fee for the promise of a loan, you can count on the fact that you're dealing with a scam artist.
That on or about January 13, 2009 Barons Investment & Trust, 300 Park Ave., Suite 1700, New York, NY 10022, (212) 572-6352 and through it's employee Susan Montgomery, and Pacific West Equity & Financial and Investment Group (PWEF) 600 Anton Blvd., Suite 1100, Costa Mesa, CA 92626, 562-972-0762 and it's owners Robin R Thompson, Don Hayes and Lamon Holloway seduced me to pay $35,000.00 in order to be able to obtain a Commitment Letter.
On January 14, 2009 I delivered to said individuals and their companies a signed Letter of Interest. Nevertheless, to seduce me into paying the $35,000.00 at once, the individuals mentioned above committed Corporate and Mortgage Fraud by (1) Falsification of financial information, including false accounting entries, issuing bogus letter of Proof Of Funds from BARONS INVESTMENT & TRUST, which shows a balance of $1.8 billion in ("PWEF")'s account.
This Letter designed to inflate profit, and false transactions designed to evade regulatory oversight, (2) Self-dealing by corporate insiders, including: (a) Insider Trading, (b) Kickbacks, and (c) Misuse of corporate property for personal gain. On March 2nd they told me there was no money for funding. During the course of approximately three (3) months, they fraudulently induced me to pay in excess of $35,000.00 by falsely stating and representing that prior to issuing a Commitment Letter, I must pay this amount and that these monies would be listed as a credit on the closing statement.
These individuals and their companies knew that the statements were false because they never intended to give credit and or issue the Commitment Letter, as represented to me. These individuals and their companies knew that the statements were false because they never issued a Commitment Letter and or funded the loan. THAT THEY KNEW FULL WELL THAT I WAS RELYING ON THEIR REPRESENTATIONS AND THE PROOF OF FUNDS LETTER FROM BARONS INVESTMENT & TRUST AND THAT THE LOAN WOULD BE FUNDED FROM THOSE FUNDS. Mr. Thompson do the right thing. Refund my $35,000 and stop ripping the America people off

Thompson's response is once again false. He knew his statements to me were false. He never intended to issue a Commitment Letter.
Feb 19, 2009 his representative reported, after a site visit, "Dairy Farm inspections show that all aspects of the business are exceptionally prepared for acceptance and accommodation of cattle. Owner is experienced and successful in previous and current Dairy operations, acceptable and basic requirements to the proper functioning and productivity of the Dairy. Employees prepared and experienced in production handling and processing of cattle and product. Delivery of product has been considered and viable options are in place at present. I was seduced into paying the $35K by Thompson issuing BOGUS Proof Of Funds, showing $1.8 billion in his acct. He intended for me to rely on his false statements and representations, which were intentionally fraudulent and deceitful in order to manipulate and steal my money for his own personal use. All of the allegations contained in my complaint are hereby set forth for the purpose of alleging forfeiture pursuant to the provisions of Title 18, US Code, Thompson must refund the full upfront fee forthwith.
The Better Business Bureau report;
"On March 30th, 2009, we requested information from the company concerning their relationship with Barons Investment & Trust, in which they claim to have some $1.3 billion dollars in brokerage accounts. Our concern was heightened because the administrative contact for Barons Investment & Trust listed Robin Thompson, the principal of Pacific West Equity & Financial on its website, www.baronsinvestments.com, Also, we could find no record of a corporation or any brokerage firm under the name Barons Investment & Trust. The company responded to our request stating that they will contact Barons to find out why Robin Thompson's name is listed as the administrative contact on their website. The company also said that it does not know what type of information Barons Investment has or does not have, and they don't know if they are required to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The administrative contact's name on the website of Barons Investment & Trust has changed, but we are still very concerned that the funds claimed to be held by Barons Investment may not exist".
As a result of said reliance, I signed doc's and were damaged thereby in that as a result of the representations on the part of PWEF were willful, wanton and malicious and were intended to and did in fact cause me harm.
Mr. Thompson do the right thing. Refund my $35,000 and stop ripping the peoples off.

SUBMITTED: Monday, March 23, 2009
All of the complaints raised by this one individual are totally false. Even though we were lied too repeatedly, we attempted to help this individual. It was only when we aqctually required proof, something this individual still has not came up with, that there actually was funds in escrow and that he was the actual owner of the farms he claimed to own, that he became belligerent and started his rants. He will not provide any proof of what he is saying and only gets enjoyment from trying to hurt everyone around him. He has demanded money in exchange for his silence and has made many false statements about many good people. He has nothing of any value and lies to those who attempt to help him and it is always someone elses fault for what his lies cost him. Since he has nothing he feels that he can say whatever he wants and those who actually care about there reputation will either pay him or give him the attention and legitamacy he craves. We are pleased to provide proof of everything we say and have only this individuals rantsas proof to the contrary. Request proof from this individual and you too will feel his rant.
