By the way, I was just browsing the internet to find out about these Spartan Capital Securities people and found www.seclaw.com/currnews.php . Apparently the SEC is investigating these clowns (among others): "Washington, D.C., Nov. 17, 2011 — The Securities and Exchange Commission today filed an emergency enforcement action to stop a fraudulent scheme targeting investors seeking coveted stock in Internet and technology companies like Facebook and Groupon in advance of a public offering." "They raised at least $12 million from investors across the country during the past 15 months. Almazon controls Long Island-based unregistered broker-dealer Spartan Capital Partners, which raised a significant portion of the money in the Praetorian entities. The SEC’s complaint alleges that Spartan Capital solicited investments by phone, word of mouth, and advertisements on professional networking website LinkedIn.com." "The complaint further charges Mattera, Van Siclen, the Praetorian G entities, Almazon, Spartan Capital Partners, and Howard with violating Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act by engaging in the unregistered offering of securities, and Almazon and Spartan Capital with violations of Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act by acting as unregistered brokers.
The SEC seeks a temporary restraining order as well as preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and financial penalties against the defendants, as well as disgorgement by defendants and relief defendants of their ill-gotten gains plus prejudgment interest."
So.... Anyone feel like doing business with them? lol
This person who I do not know keeps calling me almost daily about investments. I do not invest with people I do not know who make cold calls. I have tried to tell him I am not interested but he keeps talking and will not listen. He is violating the Texas and National DO NOT CALL Lists and probably violating SEC regulations.
Spartan Capitol jerk calls every day now as he says, "Somebody told me to call your business owner." He will never have the opportunity to get past me!
I now am armed with an incredibly loud whistle which I plan to use when he calls again. I wonder how many times I will have to blow the whistle in his ear until he gets the hint.
Same rap: Spartan Capital cold-calling me into oblivion. The guy on the phone really thinks I'm going to give him money on a cold call and he won't stop calling me.
