The language and grammar on the website is incorrect. The business sectors they have invested in do not have any underlying links to show what companies they have invested in.

You need to do some more homework.

Finding any information on these people is like digging for gold in a bag of Starbucks coffee beans. See my earlier post. Be aware too, that the scams are increasing as the economy tightens up.

We have received the promised Letter of Intent from the "group" of investors, which Mona Patton said had contacted her to perform "due diligence" on their behalf re: our company and our request for funding. However, this LOI has only her name on it. We have requested to see the actual company/group's LOI to her before proceeding. Is this similar to the way she operated on your investment request? Inquiring minds want to know!

I have also checked with the BBB in Fort Worth. They have her business name and her name filed as "owner"... and zero complaints filed against her in the last 3 years. If the July 3rd poster who filed a report with the BBB has not seen evidence of this being filed, have you called the BBB? This posting further states that he/she contacted the state's attorney general. Does the Atty General any information on others who have been scammed? Where are they with your complaint?

BTW, it seems like she's doing an awful lot of work... driving or flying around, etc.... to simply net a couple of thousand dollars. In our case, it will be far less than that.

On the other hand... Is there anyone out there who has actually received funding Ms. Patton's brokering?

Thanks!

They required it as good faith money. I checked them out on the Better Business Bureau and there were no complaints filed and the company came up giving them legitimacy. If there had been a complaint filed I wouldn't have given any money up front and will never again.

I have worked with AVA Business Solutions and so far have lost $2500. I have demanded it back at one point and never got it.

EXECUSE ME, LIBEL!

A type of defamation. Slander is an untruthful oral (spoken) statement about a person that harms the person's reputation or standing in the community. Because slander is a tort (a civil wrong), the injured person can bring a lawsuit against the person who made the false statement. If the statement is made via broadcast media -- for example, over the radio, internet or on TV -- it is considered libel, rather than slander, because the statement has the potential to reach a very wide audience.

Thank you for pointing that out.

Can't list them when none exist. Anyone here that has been taken I have been notified by the authorities in Texas you must file a suit in small claims court to try to get your money back.
