EJ Sterling is a boutique financial services firm that offers their clients short term stock and various other wealth management solutions. Their target markets are individuals with high net worth. The firm feels that they are set apart because they feel they have an above average customer service approach and a personal touch with customers. They give clients the opportunity to speak to a broker consistently in order to build good customer relationships.
The firm receives leads for their services by subscribing to Dun & Bradstreet. They specifically look for businesses generating 20 to 50 million in gross revenues. They evaluate if their prospects have interest in working with them and if they are suitable or an accredited investor. If so, the firm begins discussions with the investor about stocks.
E.J. Sterling president, Mr. Robert Costomiris, has informed us that his personal philosophy is that his clients are a precious resource. As a successful businessman, Mr. Costomiris feels it is critical to listen to his clients and respond properly. By always putting his customers first, Mr. Costomiris hopes to maintain E.J.

Another top executive of the company told us that Mr. Costomris' personal business philosophy is based on the premise that "strives to add value in its services as they understand that a successful business model is based on value-added services, and client care. E.J. Sterling's mission statement says it all: "Our goal is to provide our clients the best quality, value and professional excellence in the industry." Some of the other things Ripoff Report learned in the course of its investigation: typical customer feedback reads: E.J. Sterling (and Mr. Costomiris) truly communicate all aspects of the job in a timely and effective manner. We are very pleased with the responsiveness that he and his employees show us. They are serious about meeting commitments, and deliver on all their promises."

At EJ Sterling, they state that they have not had any customer disputes in their 26 years of operation.

EJ Sterling Inc. Broker EJ Sterling EJ Sterling manhattan, New York
EJ Sterling is a scam. These guys employ high pressure sales tactics to steal you from your money. This operation by EJ sterling is a scam, and they sell stocks that are worthless. These guys managed to convince me into investing with them. The shares becamse worthless and were simply inflated.
After doing some more research I learned how big of a scam they truly were. There's another firm in New York, called Stratton Oakmont, which is what their old "shop" was called. This is simply the same crew but under a new name. These guys are total scams, and so was Stratton Oakmont
To give you some info about Stratton, this was a long Island - pump and dump boiler room broker. Do your research before doing business with scams like EJ Sterling which is Stratton Oakmont
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratton_Oakmont
there's a wikipedia link about Stratton Oakmont
AVOID THESE GUYS AT ALL COSTS. THESE GUYS STOLE MY MONEY. THEY'LL DO IT TO YOU AS WELL.

To the FRAUD trying to smear the name of a good Company. EJ Sterling has had NO customer disputes in 26 years of operation. No one here ever worked at Stratton Oakmont. My advice to you is to take your false reports off this site immediately. We already have an idea of who you are. We have hired a private investigator to trace your IP Address.
