October 2006 I was approached by Mr Montgomery to pay a $185'000. 'pre advice fee' on a 'bank guarantee instrument' for a contract between Mantara Holding and another asian company. I was given a contract which I trused since he was an attorney. Per his instruction, I wired $185'000. to Credit Suisse bank account to a person named Walter Tomassi. I was told by Mr Montgomery if anything went wrong my money was safe and any problems occurred he would return my funds within 10 days.

Immediately after I wired the money the problems and excuses began. I demanded my money back and to date have been told he would pay me back, but he has not made any attempt. He has sent other contracts for other supposed Bank Instrument investments stating he would pay me on those and conveniently none of those ever work out. I have heard every excuse from european bank holidays to sick parents why deals never worked out and I havent gotten my money returned.

I told him to make montly payments to me as this money came from a HELOC and he has refused any attempt to return my money. I have asked the SEC and every other government agency for help and have gotten none.
I was defrauded of $185K costing me my home, life and all round sanity.

This man and the world wide group that seem to be involved are organized thieves! Someone needs to get some sort of action against them as I am sure Im not the only victim!
