SCAM SCAM SCAM...DO NOT LISTEN TO ANY THING THAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE TO OFFER, IT IS A SCAM. THEY WILL CONTACT YOU AND TELL YOU THAT THEY WILL GET YOU A GRANT IF YOU QUALIFY, TRUST ME YOU WILL QUALIFY OVER THE PHONE. YOU WILL THEN SEND THEM $2500.00 CHECK BY PHONE AND FEDEX WILL BE AT YOUR PLACE OF BUSINESS THE NEXT DAY TO PICK UP THE CHECK. ALL OF THEM NEED TO GO TO JAIL STARTING WITH MR. VAZQUEZ, ELIAS, TIFFANY, DANNY JAMES, ALEX, BRENT MAGNUS, BRIAN HEWITT AND LARRY KIRKLAND WHO IS THE PRISIDENT. THEY ALL TALK A SMOOTH GAME BUT WHAT THEY REALLY DO IS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS THAT ARE TRYING TO BETTER THEIR OWN BUSINESS. THIS IS ALL MY FAULT FOR NOT RESEARCHING THEM OUT MORE THEN WHAT I DID. I CALLED THE BBB AND THERE WAS NOTHING BAD ABOUT TURNAROUND. SINCE THEN I FOUND THAT THIS COMPANY HAS CHANGED THEIR NAME SEVERAL TIMES AND FOR WHAT REASON I DONT KNOW. I'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 21 YEARS AND NEVER CHANGED MY NAME.IF THE TRUTH WAS TO BE KNOWN THEY DO NOT EVEN USE THEIR REAL NAME WHEN THEY TALK TO YOU. WELL I GOT APPROVED FOR THE GRANT BUT THEY NEEDED ANOTHER $7500.00 AND WHEN I ASKED FOR A LIST OF THE FOUNDATIONS BRIAN HEWITT GOT NASTY WITH ME, TO THE POINT THAT IF I COULD HAVE REACHED THROUGH THE PHONE LINE I WOULD HAVE RIPPED OUT HIS THROAT. WELL I COULD GO ON BUT SAVE YOUR SELF A LOT OF TROUBLE AND CALL THESE NUMBERS AND THIS WILL SAVE YOU YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY. HENDERSON POLICE DEPARTMENT ( FRAUD DEPARTMENT ) ASK FOR DECTIVE JEFF [protected] EXT. 4504 OR CALL FBI AT [protected] AND ASK FOR THE COMPLAINT DESK. ALMOST FORGOT DAVID SHRAGA IN THE RESEARCH DEPARTMENT YOU NEED TO GO TO JAIL AS WELL. WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND, THEY WILL PAY ONE DAY FOR THE THINGS THAT THEY ARE DOING TO HARD WORKING PEOPLE.

On April 14, 2010 Mr. Sandy, owner of the Healthy Garden Health Center, located at 288 Ronkonkoma Ave. Ronkonkoma, NY 11779 made a service agreement with the above business. They offer business consulting services, that include Grant and Foundation Research, Grant and Letter writing, Website Development & Internet Marketing. Mr. Bernard Burns from Business Funding Services called on 12/9/2010 and said that the Grant has been approved for $446, 000.00 by the IRS and the final payment of $9, 250.00 is due in order to receive the Grant. He said it will be distributed on 12/27/2010. Mrs. Sandy wired $9, 250.00 to Business Funding Services, per Mr. Burns request on 12/9/2010. The Beneficiary Account info was BFS Enterprises Inc-4550 W Oakey Blvd. Las Vegas, NV 89102. Bank info was Bank of the West-3396 Castro Valley Blvd. Castro Valley CA 94546. Account number [protected] -Bank ABA/Swift Code [protected]. The totoal amount wired to Business Funding was $16, 415.00. The Healthy Garden Health Center has not as yet received any Grant Funds and Mr. & Mrs. Sandy is very concern ! Mrs. Sandy has called all the contact numbers that we had and sent e-mails and only one person has responded. Alexis Calloway from Business Funding at [protected] Ext. 319 called on 3/23/2011 she mention that Corporated Capital Team did go out of business and the files went to them. I told her that I wired funds to Business Funding Services per Mr Bernard Burns instructions. She said that Mr. Burns is the Executive Director and she asked how much did he tell you to wire. I told her $9, 250.00 on 12/9/2010. Alexis said that someone would get back to me either Friday or Monday. Its been over a month and I still have not heard from anyone.

We were scammed as well and have found no help after a year of trying to get justice. We have lost our home. It amazes me that there are people that can get away with this. Were a small business in Michigan and service the local Farmers. They got us hook line and sinker. Called them to see what was going on with the grant we were to get and got a recording that they were under investigation and that's the end nothing more. Have talked to the FBI and Attorney General in both Michigan and Nevada and nothing. Better Business Bureau advised an Attorney but they have all our money. Hope if your reading this that you hang up and don't fall victim to these crooks!

We also fell victim to the scam and fraud.

We are a victim service provider. This incident led a $10, 000 dollar debt over the company's nonprofit campaigns and community education on victims in public. Given to Turnaround Business Development Group Inc. Grant Fraud "How to aid a person screaming for help." However, it costed Mr. Trayvon Martin his life and many others against innocent crimes committed against them. I am Sorry, about the theft, lies and deceit this may caused toward any victim in the community. Our condolences to all who have lost a loved by innocent killing. Please, accept our deepest apologies.

Apparently, this business closed now and we are also out approx. $6, 0000.00 in which our small business could not afford to begin with! Capital business is involoved in this as well. No call was made to let us know that Turn Around was going to close and that we would not be receiving our money back considering the fact that we have yet to receive a grant of any kind as promised. Currently, I can not find where there are lawsuits being filed on behalf of the businesses who have lost money by trusting this company. If anyone finds information, please let us know! Thanks.

We were promised alot from Turnaround Business Development. Thing is we did call the BBB and they told us there was only one complaint and that it was resolved. They made it look like they were ligitimate. We lost $14000 and can not get them to respond to call, emails or faxes. Their phone lines are always busy or they block you number. If everyone would turn them into the BBB and make complaints maybe they can be put out of business. Instead of taking this fight back and let everyone know what they are like

I'm sorry to say that my company fell victim to this organization (if that's what you call it) as well. We did the same as this person, checked BBB, ETC. When we realized they had changed their name, we did internet searches on the old names, and actually called a lady whom had lost everything due to this organization. What a nice lady, and she was instrumental in saving us from anything further.

At the end of the day, remember..."if it sounds too good to be true...it normally is too good to be true". People -- don't fall victim like we did.

Sorry it happened to me.
