Oh I would love a call from you, you promised something you didn't follow through with & now I guess my only option is FBI. Could have solved this the easy way, but nope.
If anyone is looking to reach John Golman or Jeffrey Buono their new office number is 1-469-519-2788 but you'll just get this lady that says NOBODY is available. What a scam. If you have been scammed by this company please reply, I'm working with another company that has also been scammed & we are going to get our money back by working together.
Sooner or later, Jeff Buono will run out of options. If you are looking for him, don't bother to go to the address listed on the Goldman Pearce website; it is a virtual office, the latest term for an answering service. If you really want to see him, try visiting [residential address removed]. Curiously, the post above that purports to be from "John Goldman" is very very similar to posts that Jeff Buono made in similar forums when he was working for Haller Harlan & Taylor. As for JB Mikel & Associates, that is a play on Jeff Buono's name; his middle name is Mikel.
If he has collected money for you but failed to give you your share, I would recommend contacting the FBI. Law enforcement is starting to crack down on unscrupulous agencies that pop up like this solely to rip off their clients. Witness the case of Maxwell, Turner & Associates and Stanley, Morgan & Associates Inc., and their principles Paul Anthony Vasquez and Stefan Lemar Miller.
If you are a business owner and have commercial receivables on which you need collection assistance, steer clear of this operation. A good rule of thumb is to only use a collection agency that is certified by the Commercial Law League of America.
i think he will be able to continue the same scam under new names forever. no one cares hes only steeling money companys dont want or wrote off so hes doing a service for folks.
It looks like the chickens are coming home to roost. Although Jeff Buono filed a personal bankruptcy (Case # 12-40436, Eastern District of TX), listing nearly 500 unsecured creditors and nearly $2,500,000.00 owed to clients of his multiple collection agencies, he has now had his first adversary proceeding filed against him in the bankruptcy case (and I would expect it will not be the last). The complaint makes very liberal usage of terms and phrases such as "embezzlement", "violation of fiduciary relationship", "stealing their money" and "fraudulent actions".
Once all of the other creditors (read former clients who were ripped off) get on the bandwagon and file similar actions, the preponderance of the information will likely be acted on by law enforcement. Since a large number of the transactions which took place crossed state lines, I would think it likely that the FBI will be involved.
