These goons call about 2x per month wanting to speak to the 'owner' and it's always about some oil / gas drilling venture. (Venture is translated as 'how fast will your money disappear? Just watch!')
They always promote the Tax Advantages of investing in oil and gas - reading that says you'll get to deduct the loss on your taxes. By "the loss" I mean - of YOUR money. That's always the part that they gloss over really fast.
Bad investment guys. Let the oil companies play with their money. After all, we're already bent over their desk taking a screwing as it is....why should we pay extra for dry holes? Or dry humping?
I just got my 3rd or 4th call in the last year or so from Gulf Coast Western, none of which I've answered. It was on my home #, and I simply don't answer calls from numbers that I don't recognize. If they have something that I want to hear, they can leave a message. When they call a business looking for someone, one of the earliest posters on this site gave a really good suggestion: tell them "just a moment, please" and then put them on hold until they hang up. Let them waste their time for a change.
I am certainly getting to the point where I agree with many other posters that the Do Not Call Registry is a farce. This number has been reported for many years, but they just keep on going. They have an office in Dallas and an "A" rating from the local BBB!!! There is a notation on the BBB's website that Pennsylvania has recently held hearings on a cease and desist order against GCW based on its attempt to sell unregistered securities to a resident with whom the company had no relationship and who was not a "qualified investor" (to fall within an exemption to registration under state and federal securities law). GCW has fought it claiming that it is selling general partnership interests, which are not securities. I doubt if they will win. So maybe this is where we should be filing our complaints, the SEC and your local state equivalent.
I keep hoping he'll hit oil, get some on his boots and then attempt to climb some stairs and have an awful slip and fall accident in which he breaks his dialing finger which will slow him down for a bit so that I might get a little rest from his dialing for dollars activities.
Matthew Fleeger is the CEO of this so called oil and gas company claiming huge profits on tax deductions. After doing research on them I am glad I did not invest. Fleeger has cocaine charges, rape charges, and a dead beat gambler. He ran up markers in Las Vegas. Do your own research on him. They will not stop calling as I am a Doctor and they must think I will invest with them. THEY HAVE IT WRONG!!!! With Fleegers past he should be in jail not handle investors $$$$$$$
