This is very strange, since we were scammed by a man of the same name. We did a 103,500 investment with him, promised to get a return but never did....went to the FBI, they investigated him only to find that he was smart enough to cover his tracks with a paper trail. I wonder where the "John" from the mystery shopper resides? It would be interesting to find out....I will keep everyone posted on the horrible crime we had happen to us!

Thank you for posting this link.

Would you have a contact at the Equalizer Group that I could get in touch with? I think that maybe our groups could do some good by teaming up.
