Pictures from the Past---2002----Charlie Lester and LPI

 

 

LPI Office: 3535 Roswell Road Suite 53   Marietta, Georgia

 

“LPI Financial Services, Inc. has been serving the financing needs of medical professionals since 1986. We changed our name from Lease Pro, Inc. to LPI Financial Services in 1999 so that our name would better describe changes that include our exclusive working capital loan program.”

 

LPI Staff (left to right: Barbara Willingham, Kurt Hess, Don Dennigmann, Audrey Jinks, Ali Porterfield, Krisen Meers, Kay Smith, Jon Hall, Charlie Lester

 

“Over $40,000,000 funded thus far.

In 2003 we are expanding this program to include not only medical professionals but licensed CPA’s, Attorneys and Architects.

 

“We do start-up medical practices.

 

“We do in-home businesses.

 

“We will consider applicants that have been bankrupt (discharged over 5 years ago).

 

 

“*One of our recent Tier I approvals was for $600,000 as a combo working capital loan and equipment lease for 3 orthopedic surgeons opening a second location. How about a $150,000 debt consolidation loan for a dentist with 11 high interest credit cards?

 

“Tier II Update:

 

“Doing deals that can’t be done anywhere else.

 

“Working capital, debt consolidation, practice acquisition loans and leases for medical professionals only.

 

“Higher rates than Tier I but more flexibility for the “storied” deal.

Beacon score of 600 or better required with tax returns and PFS.

84 month terms only.

 

“Structured transactions will allow you to close more deals without having to originate more deals!

 

“*Tier II fundings include a loan for a doctor to pay off 4 credit cards totaling $93,979 plus the cash to update his practice. Another recent funding included $264,000 in loans and leases for two start-up M.D.’s moving to another state.”

Business Leasing News is not included in the Alexa report list as it does not have its own individual site and Alexa finds Patton Boggs, LLP Attorneys at Law.  The rating is not valid as it includes all those who visit and communicate with the law firm.  When Business Leasing News has its own individual web site, it will be included in the Alexa survey.

 

It should also be noted that several of the web sites have their "list serve" posted via their site, meaning their e-mails are counted as a visit to the site, whereas they are "list serve" communication.  These are technically visits to the web site, but primarily to use "list serve."

 

These comparisons are compiled by Leasing News using Alexa and should be viewed as a "sampling," rather than an actual count from the website itself.  Other than as noted above, we believe the ratings are reflective as most have stayed in the same position, basically, for over a year.

### Press Release #########################

 

 

Nigerian Scam—We Get Several New Ones Daily

 

Leasing News has been collecting what is now considered the "Nigerian Scam" for over 16 years. They first started by mail from Africa, then

they discovered the internet.  Several of our readers have told

us confidentially they fell for it; one  well-known equipment leasing individual, who also runs a school for training brokers, lost $25,000.

If you think that is preposterous, a Berkeley, California  law firm lost $2.1 million.

 

http://www.leasingnews.org/Conscious-Top%20Stories/Nigeria_lawFirm.htm

 

Leasing News has been collecting these letters and e-mails, sharing them with readers, including the "spin-offs."  Today we still get five to ten daily direct, plus readers send some of the newer "take-offs."

Somehow we have become the place that collects these e-mails.

 

This is how it works.  It generally is some "inside" problem, a husband has died or someone has money from a corrupt government. Often

they are “very Christian” and “honest,” others appeal to your sympathy to their plight or problem: death in family, money

about to be claimed by the government as there are no

relatives.  They need your help.  They can wire the money, but they need a bank, most often a certain bank.

 

The most common thread is offering a "finder's fee."  Often it is a percentage, sometimes it is a specific dollar amount.

 

 Now here is the how the scam works. Since you are opening this account, they tell you need to start with a specific dollar amount, often it is $10,000, and depends on what they think you can afford, as they explain the account needs to look legitimate.  They will tell you why you should not put in a few hundred dollars, saying when they transfer this amount of money, it will raise attention.  You need to let it

sit in the bank for a specific time so it registers as a balance.

The bank account has both your signatures, for them to deposit

and you to receive, but guess what, they can also withdraw.

 

Those who have fallen victim to the fraud are encouraged to contact the Specialist Crime OCU Fraud Squad by e-mail at 419@spring39.demon.co.uk.

 

Readers have been sending in the new variations, which began to

occur from other African countries, not just Nigeria, then to Saudi

Arabi, Iraq, and even the Philippines.  We have over several thousand different letters in our collection:

 

Dear Sir,

 

I am the confidant of the ex-president of the Philippines (Mr. Estrada) who was removed from power as you may know. He has secretly informed me to contact you and to liase with you to invest the sum of $21M (Twenty one million dollars) which he deposited in a bank during his tenure.

 

Now the procedures are that you will be given the contact of the bank so that you will contact them to open an account online account where the money will be transferred into from his account since he can not come out in the open to use this money. After you open this account, I will order the bank in a written form to transfer the money into your own Bank account after which you can then transfer

 

it to some other account in your place for sharing.

 

Upon request by you I can send to you the certificate of deposit of this

amount for your assurance. We are willing to concede up to 25% of the total sum to you for all the anticipated help from you hoping that it will cover all your expenditures before and after the transaction.

 

However, we will desire that you will help us invest our share till we will be free to meet you up in your country for further talks, Please if this proposal is Ok by you, please write me back via this address so that I can give you all informations.

 

Best Regards.

USD$25 million dollars.

After notification of the death of the deceased has issued me a notice to

all this while tll now, that’s why I seek your consent to purport you as

at USD$25 million dollars can be paid to you. If you agree we can discuss
the percentage you will have as compensation on your involvement. I have
all necessary legal papers that can be used to back up the facts and claim
of the Fund .

All I require from your is totally honest, co-operation and Sincerity to
enable us see this deal to the successfully end. I guarantee that this will
be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law.

>From Mrs Elizabeth tolbert
Abidjan, Ivory-Coast
West-Africa.

My dear Partner,

I am Mrs Elizabeth Tolbert, the wife of Late Dr. Kone Tolbert, a former
Director General in the Ministry Of Health in Liberia (West-frica).  Without
taking much of your time, I would wish to inform you that my Late  husband
was a top government official within the ranks of President Charles Taylor?s
government in Liberia.He was brutally murdered by President Charles  Taylor?s
killer squad team on a frame-up charge that he joined hand in
attempting to overthrow the government of President Taylor when the President
was attending a peace talk mission in.Accra Ghana).

While in detention in the military camp in the capital city(Monrovia), before
he was ubsequently killed, he disclosed to me that he has deposited the
sum of $13,700. 000 USD(Thirteen million seven hundred United States Dollars)
in a disclosed security and finance deposit firm in Abidjan, Ivory-Coast,
a neighubouring country to Liberia. That in the wake of his death, I should
proceed to the finance deposit  firm to identify myself as the beneficiary
of the money, with certificate of proof as the beneficiary of the money. With
the assistance of our family Attorney,

I have been able to trace the security firm, and the officials confirmed
that my late husband(Dr. Kone Tolbert) deposited a consignment in the security
firm which he disclosed to them that the contents are mere FAMILY  TREASURES.
I am by virtue of this sudden development seeking your assistance to help
me in moving this money to your country for our future investment. I hold
you on the highest esteem that I will not be disappointed when this  money
eventually gets to your custody. I have the confidence of investing the
whole money into any lucrative business in your country based on her economic
and political stability. Without mincing words, you stand to play the role of
a  principal partner in any investment to be carried out with the money,
together with some amount of percentage to be agreed upon as soon as I receive a positive reply from you. The percentage will be your reward for all your
moral  and financial assistance during the period of moving the money to
your  country. You are therefore requested to furnish me through my e-mail
address declaring your willingness to assist me in this venture. Waiting
for a very quick response from you. Have a nice time and God bless you.

Best Regards,

Mrs Elizabeth Tolbert.

Dear Friend,
I got your contact in searching for a reliable and trust worthy person to
handle risk free transaction.
I am Mr. David Larson account Manager of United Bank International (UBI)Switzerland.
I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On December
29th 2002, an American contractor with the Government of Switzerland,
Mr. Michael Creek made a numbered time (Fixed) deposited for twelve calendar months, valued at Thirty-five Million dollars ($35million) in my branch.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but
got no reply.
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract
employers, that Mr. Michael Creek died from an automobile accident. On further
investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts
to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation
and discovered that Mr. Michael Creek did not declare any next of kin in
all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork.
This sum of 35million is still sitting in United Bank International and
the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each
year. No one will come forward to claim it.
According to the laws of the country, at the expiration of 5 (five) years,the
money will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies to
claim the funds. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you to assist
me fully as foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr.Michael creek
so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not get into
the hands of some corrupt officials. This is simple, I will like you to
provide me immediately with your full names and address so that the attorney
will prepare the necessary documents
and affidavits, which will put you in place as the next of kin.
We shall employ the services of two attorneys for drafting and
notarization of the WILL and obtain the necessary documents and letter of
probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in
any part of the world, which you will provide, will then facilitate the
transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money
will be paid into
your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 30% for you
while 10% will be set aside for miscellaneous expenses.
There is no risk involved in this transaction, as every necessary paperwork
for this fund, will be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch
Manager guarantees the successful
execution of this transaction.
Hope this mail will meet your perfect understanding.
Best Regards
Mr. David Larson (GP)

Good day to you,
 
I am Deide B., a citizen of the United State of
America and a staff of the United Nations (UN), I know
that this mail will be of great surprise to you. I got
your e-mail address from the Internet as I was
soliciting for a partner who will work with us.
Please, do not see this mail as one of those stories
from some Africans of which I have received such too.
 
In recent times, there have been conflicts all over
the world especially in the Middle East, which has
been of top concern to the UN. I happen to be one of
the officials assigned to Iraq. I also played a great
part in seeing that Afghanistan is been rebuilt and
that casualties, especially children are well taken
care of. During this period, my partners and I were
able to secure some amount of money amounting to
Thirty Million Five Hundred Thousand United State
Dollars ($30.5M), which was moved to Europe. Moving
this fund was easy because of the connections my
partners had. Now that things have settled, we want to
move the money out of the deposit company where it is
deposited.
 
We are contacting you to work with us because we are
civil servants and cannot do it alone. The presence
and participation of a neutral person is needed to
achieve this transaction hence my contacting you. Note
that all the relevant documents will be in place for
this transaction to be hitch free. For your
participation, you will be getting 20% of the total
sum.
 
This transaction will take not more than fourteen (14)
banking/working days to be finalized from the day of
commencement. Treat with to secrecy, as we will not
want a blackmail or media scandal. You are the only
person I contacted for this transaction and will hope
to get your reply ASAP for further correspondence via
my Private email ID:  deide@swissinfo.org
 
Yours faithfully,
 
Deide B. (MRS).

Dear, Friend.

My proposal to you will be very surprising, as we have not had any Personal contact before. However, I sincerely seek your confidence in this transaction,which I propose to you as a person of transparency, honesty and high caliber.

Let me first start by introducing myself properly to you. My name is Ron Sinclear, I was the Personal Assistance to the    (Haitian) President . I apologize if I have infringed on your privacy. It may interest you to know that the former president of (Haiti) has been fighting serious  war for United  Democracy  for quite some years now, which has been backed (all along) by some foreign powerful countries.

Not quite long ago, the American government ordered  (President, Jean Bertrand Aristed) to leave  (Haiti) or be forced out of power by a Rabel force. Knowing fully well the capabilities of America and other powerful members of the United Nations, (President Aristed) decided,a nd left the seat of power  into exile in South Africa country to seek asylum. now a new government is in place .
 
In the light of all these sad happenings, there was this deposit he made with a Security Company in Europe in year May 2001 ,this took place while he was still in power as the president of Haiti, through my aid, his Personal Assistant, (Ron Sinclear) and some loyalist, he succeeded to secretly move the sum of ($9.5M USD) (NINE MILLION,FIVE HUNDERED THOUSAND, UNITED STATES DOLLARS] to a private security company vault in Europe. Now, we need your services as  a highly reliable foreigner to receive the funds into your bank account for the future survival of my family because he (Aristed)  cannot presently operate any foreign bank account in his name. These funds (US$9.5m USD.) arose from various money i received from the sales of diamonds deals, i had with ( President Charles Taylor) of Liberia, which are abound in great quantity around the coastal areas of  liberia. 

I have decided that if you are able assist us,you shall be compensated with 25% commission of the funds, 5% of this money shall be set aside to take care of any local or foreign expenses that might be incurred along the line. My family will have the remaining 75% of the funds.

Dear Sir,

With a very desperate need for assistance, I have summed up courage to
contact you.

I am an army Sgt. from Fort Hood Tx. now serving with the third infantry
contingent mission stationed in Iraq,  I actually found your contact
particulars in a business journal.

I am seeking your experience and assistance to evacuate the sum of £13.5
million pounds sterlings  to the USA or any safe country.
This is no stolen funds, and there are no risks involved.
SOURCE:
------
During the second  month of the raid here in Iraq, Myself and a few other
soldiers while conducting a routine search in a location near one of
Saddam,s old palaces, uncovered large sums of money buried in barrels with piles
of weapons and ammunitions, we  agreed not to turn over the cash,  and so
shared it amongst ourselves, although this was kind of illegal, but there
is no kind of compensation that can make up for the risks we have taken
with our lives in this hell hole.

I was given the sum of £13.5 million pounds sterlings as my own share, and
had nowhere to conceal such bulk monies here, so  had to employ the services
of a broker, a British national, introduced to me by a German contact,
the said  broker facilitated the movement of the funds to a safer location
entirely out of Iraq, and would assist you to get the funds to safety.

What he knows is that the funds belongs to an Asian American who died in
the war, and trusted me to turn in the money to his family, thats all.

One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter with
any third party, should you have reasons to reject this offer, please
destroy this mail, as any spillage of this information will be too bad for us.
I do not know for how long we will remain here, and I have survived 2
suicide bomb attacks by the whiskers, hence my resolve to contact somebody to help
out.

It maybe difficult for us to communicate frequently for security reasons,
hence as soon as I am sure you are willing to help, I will link you up with
the broker, who will work with you to get the money into your care.
We will also discuss your price when it is convenient to do so.

In the meantime, please contact me  through  my  email  so we can discuss.

Respectfully,

Alan
