Daniel Levy - Symtek Solutions, Unsecured Business Lines of Credit Palm Beach Gardens Florida
I too was ripped off by Daniel Levy of Symtek Solutions. Luckily I didn't send him any money, but he wasted a bunch of my time listening to him on conference calls and trying to get him to return my phone calls. It's no surprise to me that no one has been funded with his miracle no-credit unlimited money program.
On its face it seems quite ridiculous, but this snake-oil salesman and his supporting cast of so-called business credit "gurus" are promising a dream to desperate people and the fish are biting. Let's just take a look at some of the red flags of Daniel and his fly-by-night symtek solutions scam:
1: Started an advertising blitz on Craigslist in May and then his business was doing so well that his wildly successful campaign completely disappeared. He's got no website, incorporated in 12/07 and uses a virtual office address. Doesn't seem very confident in his ability to get all these people 500K - of which he should be getting a nice commission. Again - business 101 - establish credibility by using a permanant office location with employees who are trained and can return phone calls with updated client information.
2: Offers no proof of happy former clients or ability to get funding - when asked, says that past clients don't want to be harassed - all these scumbags say the same thing don't they?! That's because they don't exist!!
3: Promises unlimited funding since all a prospective client has to do is come up with $3500 per corp and corps are unlimited. (Anyone else smell the BS here yet? So why not get 1000's of corps and just use each corp to pay the monthly payments on the other until you die?? - what a joke) Not to mention the fact that we are currently in a lending CRISIS with multiple bank failures and NO ONE is lending Unsecured Money with or without financials - especially these large sums which are then being filtered to those with poor credit who have demonstrated an inability to handle money responsably - hence their poor credit. Do you really think lenders with this kind of money would be that stupid?
4: Is running a business that supposedly deals with millions and millions of dollars, yet lacks the professionalism of returning paying-client phone calls and emails? Looks like his scam is going better than he thought it would and his clients are wanting updates on the progress of their promised loans - the nerve of some people!
It's quite possible that Daniel had drunk his own coolaid and believes he might actually get people funding, but I highly doubt it. I can see Joe Carr is a believer, as he's the one who is giving this clown a platform to rip people off. Sorry Joe, but your reputation is going down with this one - and rightfully so too. Might I recommend proving a program's legitimacy first before sending the herd of naive dreamers into the slaughter. I guess that would mean wasted "potential" commissions though since reputation carries no weight anymore.
With all highlighted above, the rational person who understands how lenders with big money act should never fall for a scam like this. Unfortunately, those with poor credit are desperate these days and will sacrifice better judgement for the possibility of getting more money to feed their poor spending habits/bad investments/etc. I guess what it comes down to is this: The best scam artists play on the victim's greed and who doesn't want 500K of free money - especially when you can just buy another corp and use that money to pay off the first and so on and so on.
I'm just glad I smelled this scam a mile away. Unfortunately, I wasted my time listening to his garbage. I'm just glad Joe has some people on his program who actually have decent information. That's probably part of the problem though as he gains the trust of individuals with legitimate info then convinces them to open their wallets for the scams.
I hope others can see this for what it is and walk away from this guy - although it sounds like it may be too late for a lot of people - he is promising a refund so let's hope he can actually deliver on that, because there's no unlimited 500K's at the end of this rainbow.

I met Dan as Michael Remdey with Investar Holdings a few months ago! His real name is Daniel Austin Levy, but he changes his name, company, address and phone number often to continue scamming people.
He stole $1800 from me, and $2500 from my friend.
He is a sociopath and does nothing but lie and scam. He sounds sweet and charming and "seems" to really know his stuff. He is smooth talking and you will believe every word he tells you.
Dan told me his "investment" was as safe as putting your money in a bank account. He sent and signed contracts with me and told me that my initial investment was "guaranteed." He is a con artist who claims he has a sports arbitrage program and he make returns of 50% weekely. Really he does not do arbitrage at all. He is addicted to gambling and just bets straight up (and loses) everyone's money.
I invested $1800 and he would send me weekly "numbers" and reports telling me how much money I was making. When my account grew to over $5000, I asked for a withdrawl of just over half. It never came, he stalled and gave me a million excuses...and finally he told me Bookmakers processors had be seized and shut down and I couldn't get my money out. All of which was BS.
He claims he works for Bookmaker and they pay his phone bill, computer, office space, etc...but this is all a lie. He claims he is a big shot in the gambling world and has all these connections.
We actually became "friends" and I was able to get alot of information about him and his life. We talked every day and I saved every email, chat session, photo, etc. I will be taking full legal action against Mr. Levy and I can provide his full details to anyone who was also scammed and would like to go to the authorities. It is hard to press charges when he used fake names, addresses, corporations...but I have ALL his real info.
He brags of millions of dollars in offshore accounts in Malta, but really he lives in a tiny apartment in Santa Clara, CA and drives a Honda Civic.
When all of his lies finally caught up to him, he broke down and told me everything. I have his "confessions" saved on chat. No one has ever made money. He just takes everyone's money and gambles it away (no arbitrage.) He uses fake names/corporations to hide behind. That way he isn't responsible for his "fake" contracts he signs with you. He wasn't my "friend" and stole my money and lied to me about it for months.
He also claims to invest in Forex, stocks, etc. and sells shelf corporations and tradelines. All of this is all a scam too. He will just steal your money and you will never see a thing from him. Search for him on Ripoff Report and you will see all the trouble/scams he has been involved in.
He has used the names Daniel Austin Levy, Daniel Levy, David Likten/Lichten, Michael Remdey and I am sure countless others. He has had the companies Symtek Solutions, Investar Holdings, Incorpo Enterprises, New Business Network Solutions. (These are ones that I KNOW of...but may be many others.)
Known emails he uses/has used are: investarholdings@gmail.com, mds_investments@msn.com, freedomapprovals@gmail.com,info@thenbns.com.
His current phone number is: 408-550-3220, but I am sure he will change as soon as I post this.
He lives (and "works") out of the Bay Area....Santa Clara/San Jose area. But will claim he is from Palo Alto. He may or may not work with a girl name Kristina (in the photo.) He claims this is his girlfriend of 5 years, but there is NO way she can actually live with him and not know what is going on, so I believe she may be an accomplice.
The photo of his ID posted on here IS him, but the birthdate has been doctored. His real birthdate is: 02/13/87. That's right, a 24 year old has stolen and scammed half a million dollars (or more) from people!!
He is originally from Palm Beach Gardens, FL and has scammed people there as well. His family is still in that area. His Dad is an attorney there, maybe that is why he thinks he can get away with his crimes. I have his parents info, family/friends, contacts, his SSN, addresses, IDs, etc. which I will be giving to the authorities in both FL and CA.
Let's get this guy and get our money back, and make sure he NEVER scams someone again. He deserves to be in jail.
PEOPLE BEWARE!!!
Daniel Austin Levy is a con artist, scammer, sociopath/psychopath, liar, gambling addict, and terrible person who has no conscience. He needs to be stopped!!!

They are scammers and do not give refunds
#7Consumer Suggestion

1. As much as I would love to call them SCAMMERS, I don't think any of us can prove that. However, that does not matter. The point is, they have not gotten one single person a dollars' worth of credit, and more importantly, have NOT given anyone any refunds(so in this sense, they are scamming people).
2. Joe, I do like and respect you, but you absolutely have failed with regards to referring people to them, and I hate to say this is not the first group you have referred people to who have ended up taking people's money without doing anything. I know you are a good guy, and have no ill-intentions, but if you are going to refer someone to other people, you need to do some due-dilligence first.
And secondly, with all do respect, if someone has all of the "requirements" that you claim one needs in order to get them credit, if they had all that, why in God's name would they need you for anything??

Daniel Levy and Symtek has Not Funded Anyone

Daniel Levy and Symtek are NOT able to fund anyone so my suggestion is to ask for a refund. He could not fund my business partner at all and all of his sources for funding have dried up due to the banking crisis. He says that client funds are in a separate account so send him a text at 561-339-9929 to ask for your money back as he is not responding to emails or voicemails. His 800 number has been disconnected so ask for your money back now.

They are crooks that have never funded a loan and will take and keep your money... They claim they are doing business with fred beasly of the 49ers and they have basically slandered his name...I will be sending his agent a letter. I have contated a attorney regarding this matter and they have heard of everyone on the vendor list of these conference calls. They are willing to take the case for free.. I will actually find joy in watching these crooks like symtek and daniel levy give the jury the same excuses that they have given me and all of the clients on these bogus conference calls.....Please feel free to contact me regarding your situation and to get involved with this case....They think people are to poor to sue them but it is already in motion...

Daniel Levy from Symtek Solutions has processed refunds for unhappy clients.

Hello Craig:
First of all, I want to thank you for attending my weekly conference calls and it is my intent to offer products to help those consumers who do not have perfect Fico scores to get funding using corporate credit. A lot of the other vendors that you will see on Craigslist and on the internet are offering aged corporations with personal guarantors but they charge a lot more than $3,500 since I know of borrowers who paid $10K - $40K upfront for these so-called "super-corps."
Second, clients who have not received return phone calls or emails from Daniel Levy have gotten so fed up with Daniel Levy that they have requested for refunds and I know of 2 clients who did in fact receive their refunds within 7 days of requesting it. Daniel's partner, Kevin Rubel, has taken on the responsibility of calling back clients and as of Monday, 07-28-08, 2 of my clients called me to say that Kevin Rubel did in fact call them to explain their current status.
Third, if you want to enroll in my no-upfront fee corporate credit program that does NOT have any upfront fees, only a 10% back-end fee, then you must have 700 Fico scores (no CPN's), no inquiries, 30% revolving debt ratio, 5 established tradelines (one being a mortgage or auto loan), no old derogatory items, a 2-3 year old corporation that has a fully built D&B Paydex score, and 2 month's bank statements or filed tax returns. If you do not have all of these requirements, there are really no other alternatives as all the banks that I know here in So. California will NOT lend to businesses that do not have their D&B Paydex scores, or filed tax returns and bank statements. I make this fact VERY clear in my conference calls. There are no short-cuts to getting corporate credit in 2008 due to the banking and mortgage crisis. However, if you know a good personal guarantor with these requirements and who lives in your city, then I can help you get corporate credit. Unlike many of these other vendors, I can still get people funded but you have to meet all the requirements.
Fourth, if you are in Symtek Solutions' program and you are absolutely at your wits end and are losing sleep over $3,500, I suggest asking for a refund and not even getting involved with corporate credit. If you cannot or will not wait the 90 days or even longer, then I suggest not to even try to get any corporate credit. The wait times involved with the corporate transfer and dealing with D&B to add the tradelines will drive most people insane. It will cost you about $2,300 - $4,000 to buy an aged corporation depending on the vendor (like Companiesinc.com or wyomingcorporations.us, incorp.com, etc). If you choose to build the corporate credit yourself, then obviously, there are no guarantees that the money you spent on the aged corporation will get funded. Companies that provide aged corporations will not refund you anything if you don't get funding using their aged corporation since they are in the business of selling shelf corporations (not funding them) that were filed in 2005 or 2006 in states like Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, or Texas. The aged corporation is just one small piece of the whole corporate credit puzzle. So, basically, if you attempt to obtain corporate credit on your own, then your risk is the cost of the aged corporation. Again, if you are unable to risk this much money, then DO NOT pursue corporate credit at all. Remember that there is risk in anything related to investing or trying to get corporate credit. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. The point is that corporate credit is NOT easy and my own clients who have gotten funded have taken 90-120 days in my own program here in Los Angeles. My last client who went through my program only got $155K so it's a lot less than the $500K that others are promising. This amount is obviously better than nothing, right?
Fifth, there are other firms out there like Windsor Capital that will provide you a personal guarantor with your corporation but the upfront fee is $23K. Obviously, this is a lot more money to risk to try to get corporate credit. I actually know someone who got a refund from Daniel Levy and then entered the Windsor Capital program. If you call me, I will share with you the information.
Sixth, if you do not want to pay any fees for getting corporate credit, I suggest doing one of 2 things: 1) You can get the corporate credit on your own by having the 700 Fico's, deleting any inquiries, and building the corporation's Paydex scores. 2) Or, you can try applying for my zero upfront fee personal loan program where the only risk to you is that you don't get funded and you get an inquiry on your credit report. There is absolutely no upfront fee, but you need to provide a credit report showing 700 Fico's, and verifiable income. There is no need to form a corporation or even buy an aged corporation since this program is a personal loan.
Seventh, if you are interested in talking with me directly to discuss your options, then please call me at 310-838-0358, or email me at joecarr@highperformanceinvesting.com. The banking crisis is bad and the real estate market is crashing but it is not the end of the world, yet... If war breaks out with Iran, then all bets are off...
