Securities Fraud:
Dawn Estep, executive recruiter, sold shares of Pre-IPO stock in VMWare (Ticker: VMW) to plaintiff under the false guise of a larger investment in Plaintiff's company by well-known technology firms. Dawn Estep asked for multiple "small" interstate wire transfers (http://wp.me/PH9g6-tq) to be sent to her Texas bank to pay for said stock certificates. Estep claimed to be the "IPO consultant" for VMWare.
VMWare (Ticker: VMW) stock certificates were never produced by Dawn Estep. (http://dawnestepsued.com)
