I lost my life savings to these people, DON’T GIVE THEM A DIME! It all started four days ago, when a strange looking man came to my door. He was stout and piggish in appearance but well-dressed. He proceeded to inform me that my small business was eligible for a hundred and four million dollars in venture capital. I was a little skeptical.
Who are these venture capitalists I asked? How do I know this isn’t a scam? He said relax, that real venture capitalists used consulting companies like his to find good investments. It seemed to make sense…..
He said he had been sent there on their behalf. He told me that they had seen my unique product and wanted to vastly expand it into a franchize, hence the large amount of money. Still, a hundred and four million(!) seemed like quite a bit. That sort of money just doesn’t fall out of the sky. He said many season consulting did this thing all the time by linking top venture capital firms with small businesses with great ideas like mine. He then proceeded to warn me of scams. He said I could be the victim of a scam if I tried any other method, such as getting a grant or loan. He gave this long speech that sounded surprisingly similar to the speech the network exec gave in the movie the network. I can’t remember it exactly, but this is roughly about how it went:
Esteban, THESE are the forces of nature! You cannot argue with the prime forces of nature. Many season consulting is just a cog in the natural machinery of business. We are experts in our field who specialize in negotiating large capital transfers. I am here on behalf of a major venture capital firm because they are under the impression that you are an adult with an incredible idea. They believe your patented products have the potential to go global. Of course, this all rests on the assumption that you are an adult, motivated by success and tempered by perserverence. If you are not, then you are wasting four elements venture capital’s time, many season consulting’s time and most importantly, your own time. If you aren’t willing to step up to opportunities, you are admitting and
embracing failure, and making a scam victim out of every one of your loyal customers. Think of your family. Do they
not deserve everything you can give them? I thanked him for his time and had a long talk with my wife that evening.
She seemed excited. I was skeptical.
I looked on the internet and it seemed like I kept finding the word scam everywhere I looked. Who knew that financial consulting had so many scams? I didn’t want to fall for a scam. He was right I owed my family the best I could give and that also amounted to not falling for a scam. Many season consulting didn’t seem to have a web
address. Neither did four elements venture capital. I thought this was strange at the time. Now I know it should’ve proven to me at the time that they were a big scam. Four elements and many season even sound like fake names. I can be so dumb sometimes. I feel so stupid for falling for this scam.
I was not sure about his offer, but he came back the next day. I was prepared with questions. He was prepared with answers. He told me that four elements and many season consulting both did things the old fashioned way, and felt
that the internet was a cesspool of misinformation. He then told me that he had talked to four elements capital and
that they were ready to wire the money immediately. It sounded so good. I signed the contract. He told that all they needed was my bank account routing number and account number. I gave it to him and when I checked my account the
next day, all of my funds had been drained. Four elements venture capital, if the company even exists, and many
season consulting had taken me for everything. I wasn’t even going to have enough operating capital to stay in
business. After four years in business, I was going to going to have to shut down. My sixteen employees, four of
them with small children, were about to lose their jobs and it was my fault for falling for this scam. I let my
family down. My sons seventeen, fourteen, eleven and my four year old daughter had all been let down. And my wife too. I am a failure for not seeing this obvious scam by many season consulting and four elements.
Let this be a lesson in avoiding a scam. Do not trust people who sell consulting services that come to yor door! Some scams can be done legally believe it or not. I talked to my lawyer and he said the contract literally said that I was to give four elements/many season consulting a “holding fee” of their choosing while I was to wait for them to
send money at their discretion. “At their discretion” could be never. I should’ve read the contract. I’m such a fool falling for this obvious scam! I don’t deserve my wife, my four kids or anything. I have failed them.
Do not make my mistakes. If four elements/many season consulting guy comes to your door, tell him to go away and warn others. He is a scam artist. He is a walking talking scam of a human being. He will scam you for everything you got and scam more from you than you thought possible. I wish we lived in a world with no scam. I come to this
country wanting the american dream and I thought I found it. Then it is taken from me with a single scam.
I want to write to my senator about the scam, but I don’t know what to say. Maybe I will just use this article I’ve
made. I do not want anyone else to fall for this scam. After seeing what the four elements/many season consulting
scam has done to me and my life, I feel like I should do everything I can to prevent it from happening to other people. I am so thankful to sites like this for informing the innocent so they don’t become scam victims. Maybe we need a movement so other fake companies like four elements/many season consulting do not scam us anymore. A large number of citizens united in a stand against the scam. Like the big movements in politics only about scams…..
In conclusion, I just want to say stay away from anyone claiming to represent four elements venture capital or many
season consulting! It is a scam! Four elements venture capital or many season consulting are scam companies; if they
even exist! Do not be a scam victim!
Always check with BBB! Do not be a scam victim!
Have lawyer read contract! Do not be a scam victim!
Meet with them at offices and make sure company exists! Do not be a scam victim!
Ask them about methodology, make sure it is real! Do not be a scam victim!
Always check online sites like this! Do not be a scam victim!
If it’s too good to be true, it probably is! Do not be a scam victim!
Good luck to all that read and DO NOT BE A SCAM VICTIM! I hope you find the American Dream!
