Tom McKenzie Barret Capital Exchange advance fee scammer Tom McKenzie port colborne, Ontario
Tom McKenzie and Michalea Barret of Barret Capital Exchange and Peregrine Funding Partners and Trideca Business Advisors etc etc are nothing but scammers.
They took our money which we paid in the belief that we were getting funded for our project. The stole our money and delivered nothing because they cant deliver anything as they are simple thiefs on the internet.
These people must be brought to justice immediately and cannot be allowed to continue in their criminal path.
Who ever reads this: DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY TO THESE PEOPLE OR ANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO ASK FOR PREPAID FEES IT IS 100% CERTAIN THAT IT IS A SCAM.
Shame on Tom McKenzie and his partners who also includes Eric Barnes of Barnes Capital ( might just as well be the same person as Tom McKenzie, as scammers rarely use their legal name ). Barret Capital Exchange has an account at . Arrest them and bring them to justice. Behind bars for years thats where they belong.

Sometimes it is just time to speak up. Tom Mckenzie does and has funded numerous deals. He also goes by Mack. If you Google him you will see the Internet Rip Off Reports, but what you do not see is who is posting them. A customer of his that supposedly was ripped off.
Well, in my opinion if someone wants to make a statement they have that right, but they should not hide behind a curtain of the internet and spout rumors as they are fact and especially when it can economically harm someone. In addition, when Mack was asked he said he did not have a clue on who these people were, because they never left their names, their real names. All they ever did was leave a project name that they were supposedly ripped off on. With this there are all ways two sidesto a story.
Mack has funded numerous deals and at his website www.tmebf.com he posted a complete list. Then someone harassed all of those clients demanding to verify that Mack had funded them. This created a hailstorm of backlash and Mack has now chosen to retire, but he is still funding deals and will continue but at his choice and on his terms. We are currently sourcing the individual and we will refer this action to our legal department for review of action.
In the world of wanting to get your project funded everyone wants a sure thing. Well the main reason deals do not get funded is because they are not good deals. There are many things that cause this, a poor plan, inexperience of the creator, a poor team, not asking for enough or too littlemoney and most of all the back ground of the person creating the plan.
All investors check you out, do a back ground, run a D+B and most of all verify that your plan works or in fact is your plan. This is calleddiligence and it costs money and the average cost is in the $500.00 range, but if it is done in house the cost is lower.
The next time an investor approaches you on funding your project you do your diligence and do a back ground check, a D+B, a credit report and back ground on the investor. Do this instead of posting the investor on a website to see if anyone has dealings with them. Posting some on a website is counterproductive and is not doing your diligence. Because sooner or later the real scammers will start posting positive responses to your postings and then they really will scam you. In the world of business intelligence this is what is called counter intelligence. You counter the threat by being proactive instead of listening to rumors. Do your real due diligence and not creating a rumor mill.

Everyone complains when they do not get their way. You state that Tom "riped you off" but state in no way what you did or provided as a business proposal. There are always two sides to a story. In addition you do not even state whom you really are.
Your deal was probably one of many that could not hold water and you are blaming everyone else instead of looking in the mirro.
