Green Funding Partners LLC Carey Gray, Valerie Westbrook Gray or Valerie Westbrook Snelson, Global Commercial, Natt Grayson Corp and Westbrook Holdings LLC Complete Fake/Fraud Company, Stole $2,500.00 Internet
Our south Florida based start-up company contacted Green Funding Partners LLC for possible joint venture funding. Green Funding Partners LLC came highly recommended by gobignetwork.com
We did our due diligence on Green Funding Partners LLC, mostly internet based research and the company seemed legitimate. They had no complaints against them, they had a decent website and the married couple Carey and Valerie Gray operated the business out of their Ellenton FL home.
However, we found over 70 complaints against gobignetwork.com, including but not limited to, scams/fraud, misleading customers and billing for services never rendered. Carey Gray insisted that they had nothing to do with gobignetwork.com and that their company info must have ended up in that database in error.
Several email and phone call exchanges later, we were granted a conference call with Green Funding Partners private investor. Thier investor "Vito" showed inteest in funding our business.
We were instructed to wire $2,500.00 to cover his "due diligence" and then he would proceed to fund our venture.
Oddly enough, against our companies better judgement the funds were wire to Green Funding Partners LLC. They had a Wells Fargo representative that contacted us and we were assured that his was a safe transaction and thier way of doing business.
2 months went by and after getting the run around from Carey and his wife, we requested our $2,500.00 retainer refunded.
This is when the phone calls stopped and emails went un responded to!
A complaint was filed with the Federal Trade Commision and the SEC of Florida.

1) we are not affiliated with Go Big Network and never have been. Our name may have been mentioned on their site, but there is no affiliation between us and Go Big Network.
2) we do not ever personally request any fees upfront, however, as stated on our website, if an investor personally requests funds, we send those directly to the investors account as requested & agreed upon by client & investor.
3) We have not had any person claiming to be a Wells Fargo or any Institution Banking Representative ever contact anyone on our behalf. After Manahan contacted us in April, their Due Diligence Deposit was not received until the end of June, 2012, and was placed directly into investors account as agreed.
4) Said investor has been in and out of the hospital fighting cancer through this process and all parties were notified of this in the very beginning prior to any deposits.
5) the complainants request to receive the refund was submitted to us on August 6th, we have notified investor of said request since we do not hold those funds in our possession.
6) Manahan has called numerous times almost every day several times a day even after talking to us.... he will block his number so it shows as restricted and call us over and over again repeatedly within one hour. even after talking to him on any given day Manahan will continue to call. Manahan has been harassing us with multiple phone calls daily even after told we have to wait for investor to be well enough to talk on phone or to move forward with any project.
7) As far as not responding to his calls, this is a false statement. Our call logs can show daily contact and numerous calls throughout the day.
8) This report claims that Manahan was doing business with several other businesses that I may or may not be involved in now or in the past. Manahan was only doing business with Green Funding Partners, LLC and it's investors as stated in the signed agreement.
9) Investor clearly stated to Manahan in phone conversations and Manahan signed agreement which clearly stated that "in the event investor finds any false statements or misrepresentations all monies are non refundable and retained by investor". Manahan signed and agreed to such statement prior to the deposit. Manahan is now making false statements not only about our company but other companies that he is not even doing business with.
