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.

I haven't heard one peep from you in weeks and you have the nerve to tell me it's done. What is done? I gave you the money December 2007 and here it is almost a year later and not one dime. You have taken money and have not provided the services you were paid for send this on to your supposed investors. I am not starting anything. The so called funding you are trying to pass off can be done by anyone known as merchant funding and as I explained to you we don't get purchase orders from some of our clients. I don't lie to people others do that. I have sent you contracts and such proving who we have and I challenge you or your supposed investors to check them out. I have nothing to hide and don't misrepresent myself. You knew the challenges before you got your money and shouldn't have taken it if you couldn't back it up. I challenge you to also prove these people wrong who you took money from as well and how many of them have you got funded? I gave you til the end of the month to get this done and that is all you will have. The authorities in Tarrant County have already started paperwork on you and I am sure with all these other people there will be more of it. I would welcome funding but so far all you are is talk as a movie once said SHOW ME THE MONEY! Then I will shut up.

You file small claims in your own state. I got this information from the district attorney of Tarrant County Texas.

If there is anyone here who was taken by AVA Business Solutions contact me with date and amount taken so I may give it to the District Attorney and possibly file a class action suit. Email me at gmworker94@yahoo.com.
