Steve Weiss - Eric, David And Sons, Inc. (EDS) Steve Weiss commited fraud, falsified documents, and took all our money and ran. Plainsboro New Jersey
Steven J. Weiss of Eric, David & Sons, stopped returning our calls and emails shortly after we paid him with some stock and cash for some work. Not long afterwards, he began selling our company's stock and completely destroyed our company and the investors. He uses the alias StormyMonday aka "Joe" on the message boards like investorshub.com to mask his identity, and to pump his stock plays. You can clearly see by the stocks that he posts on, that it is him. We did a little research and discovered that Steve Weiss, aka. StormyMonday, d/b/a Eric, David and Sons, Inc. is in fact a tangled web of conflicts of interest and non-disclosure to investors, companies he works with, and the SEC.
On September 19, 2000, Steven J. Weiss, the President, and CEO of Office Managers Inc., a Nevada Corporation, filed an SB-2 with the SEC registering 4 million shares (representing 24% of the offering) to Eric, David & Sons, Inc and another 4 million shares to Mr. Steven Weiss. Once the SB-2 was filed, Office Managers Inc. effectively became Omega Ventures Group (OFFG then OMGV). Omega Ventures Group,Inc. (OMGV.PK) stock information can be found here:

The shares were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and from similar applicable states' securities laws, rules and regulations exempting the offer and sale of these securities by available state exemptions. No general solicitation was made in connection with the offer or sale of these securities.

One of the directors of Office Managers Inc. (OMGV.PK) was Mr. John Hickey of Ambra Resources Group Inc. (ABRG).
At some point, Mr. Steve Weiss handed the reigns of Omega Ventures Inc over to Mr. John Hickey who became the CEO of the company (OFFG/OMGV.PK), formerly Office Managers, Inc. See more info on Omega Ventures Inc. here: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=8214
John Hickey was also the CEO of a company called Ambra Resources Group which later became Apex Resources Group (APXR.PK). Ambra resources as well as Mr. Hickey were both issued stock by Steve Weiss when Weiss was president and CEO of Office Managers Inc (Omega Ventures Group). See here:
http://sec.edgar-online.com/omega-ventures-group-inc/sb-2-securities-registration-small-business/2000/12/04/Section11.aspx
Mr. Hickey and Mr. Weiss both served as Officers and Directors of Office Managers Inc. which became Omega Ventures Group.(OMGV.PK) They also served as Officers and Directors of Ambra Resources (ABRG) which later became Apex Resources (APXR.PK)
In March of 2000, Ambra Resources Group (OTCBB: ABRG) appointed Steven J. Weiss as its director of Business Development and Corporate Communications. ABRG had acquired a 60% interest in First Domain Company and was forming a new IT department to be directed by Weiss. See the release here:
http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Ambra+Resources+Group+Inc.+Opens+New+Information+Technology+Division...-a060577572
In October of 2001, ABRG's 60% ownership in First Domain Company was acquired by Eric, David & Sons, Inc. Steven J. Weiss, President & CEO of Eric, David & Sons, Inc. (www.ericdavid.com), it stated that Weiss had been the President of the First Domain Name Company, Inc. since its inception in February 2000 and was a 40% minority owner in the company before acquiring 100% of it.
However, no mention of Ambra Resources Group ownership of First Domain Company seems to have been disclosed in this release other than Weiss stating that a Public Oil Company that had invested and owned 60 % of the company decided to seek other business activities and therefore offered Eric, David & Sons, Inc. full ownership. There were no details regarding the consideration Weiss gave to the Public Oil Company we know to be ABRG to acquire the remaining 60% interest in First Domain Company: http://www.allbusiness.com/company-activities-management/company-structures-ownership/6134008-1.html
Also, the release from ABRG in March of 2000 stated that Steve Weiss was hired as a director of IT for First Domain Company only after ABRG has acquired it. Here is another release by Ambra stating that Weiss was only a director of business development and corp. communications: http://www.allbusiness.com/banking-finance/financial-markets-investing/6906728-1.html
So the release by Weiss in October of 2001 stating that he had been the President of the First Domain Name Company, Inc. since its inception in February 2000 was patently false and misleading.
In January of 2003, Ambra Resources Group (OTCBB: ABRG) changed names to Apex Resources Group, Inc., which is currently publicly trading as APXR.PK, a Vancouver company incorporated in Utah here is the press release: http://www.allbusiness.com/company-activities-management/company-structures-ownership/5674197-1.html

Apex, formerly Ambra Resources Group (ABRG) has SEC filings going back to late 1998. http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=ambra+resources&match=&CIK=&filenum=&State=&SIC=&owner=include&action=getcompany
On November 29, 2006, Omega Ventures Group, Inc. issued 5,892,314 shares of restricted common stock to Apex Resources Group, Inc. ("Apex"), a related party through common management, to retire loans in the aggregate amount of $58,923.14 made to the Company by Apex.

Nowhere on the disclaimer does it state that Weiss served as a Director of Ambra Resources Group (ABRG), which later became Apex Resources Group (APXR). Nor does Weiss's disclaimer state that he was an Officer or Director with the CEO of Apex Resources, Mr. John Hickey when they were both Officers and Directors of Office Managers, Inc which became Omega Ventures Group, Inc. (OMVG)
On October 16, 2007 Mr. John Hickey tendered his resignation as a member of the board of directors of the APXR.
On March 13, 2008, the Senior Assistant Chief Accountant of the SEC sent a letter to Apex Resources Group questioning their accounting of their shares of Omega Ventures Group, Inc. (OMVG). See here:
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/742248/000109690608000419/filename1.htm
Shortly thereafter APXR stopped filing reports with the SEC and dropped onto the pink sheets.
On a message board post dated February 2, 2007, a poster noticed that John Hickey of OMGV was also the CEO of APXR. The poster noted that the investor relations for APXR was Eric, David & Sons, Inc. run by Steve Weiss. The poster stated that he had called Weiss in regards to OMGV and was expecting a return call. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=16745659
The rest of the posts on the board reveal no return call from Weiss or Mr. Hickey, whom the poster tried to contact as well. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=16836422
Eric, David & Sons (EDS) has been touting the shares of APXR, which owns shares of (OMVG), for years in newsletters to its subscribers from http://www.ericdavid.com and is also the IR contact listed on APXR press releases.
In a pump email to his subscribers at ericdavid.com, Weiss sent this April 29, 2008 message to his readers:
APXR added to "Power to shock" as an Aggressive Buy on an Undervalued Basis.
Wednesday, April 30, 2008 4:10 AM From: "EDS Financial Newsletter"
Dear Readers,
I am delighted to report that after my analytical review of proven, probable and possible Oil & Gas reserves in the 3.745% interest of the Apex Resources Group (OTCBB:APXR) and have put the Company in our Power To Shock section as a strong candidate to be a future Wall Street Darling with the potential to be a 10 - 20 bagger. EDS will be following the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline hearings which are scheduled to begin in June.
At the time of Weiss' announcement the stock was just below .05 per share.it only went down from there and is currently well below a penny for a whopping 90% loss!
Mr. Weiss does not state anywhere on his executive profile at http://www.ericdavid.com/profile.html that he was the President and CEO of a publicly trading company (OMGV), or that he was a Director at Ambra Resources (APXR), with ties to various other companies all of which are penny stocks involved in various pump and dump schemes with conflicts of interest everywhere between officers and directors.
Why would Mr. Steve Weiss be so un-inclined to disclose his ties to these publicly trading companies in his personal, executive profile on his website or on his disclaimers? Why is Steven J. Weiss so afraid to disclose that he was the CEO of a publicly traded company? And the director of another?
Eric, David & Sons Inc. appears to have been created as a front to pump and dump the shares of various companies in which the CEO, Mr. Steve Weiss, has various connections to.
Practically every single stock Steve Weiss profiles seems to get majorly pumped then dumped on investors. A few have even been completely shut down!
Check out Steve Weiss' May 08 Company of the Month Jericho Energy
The email is dated May 5, 2008 and begins with: EDS Rating STRONG BUY / ACCUMULATE: Long Term
Dear Readers,
It is with great pleasure to introduce Jericho Energy, Inc as our May Company of the Month.
The current ticker CNRN will change to reflect the Jericho Energy Inc Name as the result of a reverse merger. This ticker and name change will change within 30 to 60 days after all NASD & PINKSHEETS administration paperwork has been filed and completed.
..Remember readers, this is a long term stock to buy and hold. The Company will begin its audit shortly for fully reporting status and may choose to list on the OTCQX
The stock was priced around .30 at the time of the email touting it. The symbol changed to JECI a few weeks after and on a few months later had its registration REVOKED by the SEC. See here: http://sec.gov/litigation/admin/2008/34-58493.pdf
So much for a long term stock to buy and hold. Anyone trying to avoid short term capital gains by holding for a year lost EVERYTHING on Weiss's recommendation.
Then there is Powder River Petroleum. Steve Weiss was also the Investor Relations behind this company and in a press release announcing his hiring as the official IR guy, also mentioned that he had been working with the company to secure capital financing for some time. See June '06 PR here: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_pwwi/is_200606/ai_n16474034
Shortly thereafter, the CEO of PWDR, Brian Fox, who hired and worked with Steve Weiss was charged with acting in a grossly negligent and fraudulent manner in his dealings with investors. He was also charged with mishandling company funds, and effectively running the company into the ground. See here: http://www.powderrivergascorp.com/legal/receiversreport082808.pdf
The company has since gone into receivership and investors have basically lost everything.
PWDR and JECI are only a few of the many companies that have ended up worthless after Steve Weiss' recommendations, touts, and pumps. Steve Weiss has cost investors hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars in losses. He is a fraud and a phony. His non-disclosure of relationships and compensation is criminal and should be investigated by the SEC and law enforcement agencies across the country. Steve Weiss and Eric, David & Sons is the poster child for stock market scams. He is the junior Bernie Madoff in my opinion.
