Possible Scam Artist or Identity Theft person Rafael O. Velez III: from Summit-advisors.com Rafael proposed and weaved a very interesting story about business partnerships and website buying. Finally when money was about to be exchanged, and personal information was given, Rafael disappears. After calls to his "Office" and about 20 emails, I receive a response that he decided he was not interested. This was right after I sent him all my person information to form the new business. I looked at my credit information today, and there was new requests being made to it. Obviously there is something shady going on here even though he claims he is a legit business. I have still tried to contact him many times, but have not received a response. Any website seller or someone who is interested in doing business with this person be very careful.
I have a habit of not giving my personal information to anyone I do business with. On the net, there isn't much reason for it. Thanks for the heads up though.
Yea I made the dumbaass mistake of doing it. But he did a lot to gain my trust including presenting many legal documents. I will NEVER make that mistake again.
From looking at their site and reading some of their info I can totally see how anyone could fall into their trap. This guy seems to be smart.
I am Rafael Velez...and the chain of events "crafted" by this prospective seller of a website is ridiculous. I have purchased many websites (and contracted for internet services) through digital point and site point over the years without issues. In our due diligence process to verify the claims made by this seller, we uncovered many inconsistencies in his posting, verbal claims and website statistics...even uncertainty whether he even owned the site he was attempting to sell. Of course, we wanted to confirm who he was...and we did present legal document ("Letter of Intent" and a "Purchase Agreement"). We broke off communication when we decided not to invest in or purchase his business. We had very little information from this seller but what we did have was destroyed. His claims are merely sour grapes and an attempt to smear our name. We are bonded, have a spotless compliance record at the SEC, have been written up as among the top firms in the country by industry publications, one of the "most dependable" wealth management firms in Northern California in Forbes magazine and on-and-on...you can't believe everything you read on the internet -- and the premise of this thread is a perfect example!
