This individual is going to be right smack in the middle of a 15+ person lawsuit for RIPPING ME OFF FOR $4K.

Many people have been RIPPED off by this guy and he constantly does what he can to sweep everything under the rug before the word gets out!

Either he will create ghost accounts posing as current clientele which refutes any TRUE, negative information about his company.

Now the following: I understand that people CAN re-habilitate themselves SOMETIMES, and who am I to say that they cant, but lets be honest with ourselves folks.... Do felons ever change? Would you ever work with one?

I found arrest records for this invidual (public records) from when he went to PRISON for a FELONY DRUG CONVICTION.

While some of you might think this is unfair to mention. REMEMBER, it goes to one's character....

How many successful business man (that STAY in business no less) are convicted felons.

I don't know any...

I reported this person to the FCC for illegal voice broadcasting campaings because I have to obey the rules like everyone else, so why should Stephen be exempt from the rules?

I don't agree with this nor should anyone else...

Each of these hundreds of violations Stephen has committed would encapsulate an 11k fine!!!

Yet, he continues to do it and continues to defend his thievery by ranting that any complaints will just make his business grow and to go ahead.

Well it is clear that he "thinks" he walks on water and that the rest of us are "stupid" and will never get our voices heard.

Well, there are those of us in this world that do things the right away and take it upon ourselves to ensure that others do not fall into the grips of con artists like Stephen Aames.

The $4K I lost serves as a daily reminder to ALWAYS do my homework in the future!

I really blame myself at the end of the day for working with an individual that does not even have a brick and mortar business. (He works out of his home in Kentucky)

I kick myself for being so stupid to believe all his lies, I should have seen the signs, What legitate lead vendor, works from home?

The answer... 0, and so I continue to torture myself for my mistakes trusting another human being.

I am not phased though, lesson learned, it is clear that there are alot of unscrupulous inviduals out there and its unfortunate.

It really is...

I am a firm believer in karma and know that Stephen will have to answer to a higher being for the people he has wronged in the past. This I am sure of.

But, if I save someone in the meantime from making such a catastrophic mistake, then I have done my part to rid our community of these con artists like Stephen Ames.

Stephen Ames

AUTHOR: Mhenry - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, October 07, 2009

I'm sorry that I didn't read Rip Off Report before dealing with Stephen Ames in February of 2009, he ripped me and my customer's off with his rent reporting scam! He then created a fictitious customers and lodged complaints about my company and the fool used the wrong company to complain about! That's how I knew it was him. I would like to get a class action law suit against Stephen Ames if you are interested suprememind1  at yahoo dot com! He will see that his fictitious accusations will not stand up against people who really did business with him. I suggest you contact the state's parole board and find out who his parole officer is!

THIS PERSON BOUGHT FROM FSA/BRETT SASO, NOT STEPHEN AMES, ASK FOR RECEIPT/CONTRACT!

AUTHOR: Stephen - (U.S.A.)

I think I know what this person is talking about, he bought leads from FSA/Brett Saso, NOT STEPHEN AMES OR ADJUSTABLE RATE MARKETING, ask him for a receipt and a contract, neither will say my name or Adjustable Rate Marekting, they will both say BRETT SASO AND FINANCIALLY SECURE AMERICA.

This is a total false claim that can never be proven, "I" however can prove my side, just email me, I'll send you copies of his receipt and contract!...

CASE CLOSED, NEXT!

So many lies, so little proof, I"m always here if anyone has any questions!

AUTHOR: Stephen - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, July 27, 2008

This is the first time in over 2 years of selling leads anyone has put me here, I however have put many companies on here for ripping us off...

I have literally 1000s of testimonials and people you can call anytime you'd like for 'real' references!...

This is a lame attempt to discredit me, but that's part of business, call or email if you have any concerns, out of 1000s of customers, 99% are still happy and I'm not positive who this is since they didn't use a real name, but then it's easy to do that here I guess...

I always used my real name on this site as I do good business, I appreciate the advertising, people that do due diligence will attempt to verify these lies, I wish them good luck! :-)

My reputation is untarnished and nothing someone can post here can change that, just talk to current and past clients, not just some person posting something with no ability to contact or verify anything, just mention seeing this and get 100 free leads with your order! :-)
