Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
James Walton and Ameri-First Enterprises is an absolute scam.  James Walton (no affiliation with Walmart) presents to be a high rolling international financial investment guru with access to billions of doallars of funding in off shore accounts to invest through trades and trading instruments.  He presents that he has significant wealth and access to additional monies through non USA banks.  He also states he is buying a bank. 

James Walton has worked with Jerry Crook (CEO), as well as a woman named Robyn and a goffer named Jose (whos role is unknown).  The company is supposed to be located in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl.  James Walton presents that he will set up several organizations under the umbrella of Ameri-First Enterprises.  He lies like people breathe air.  He says he is a Godly man and references scriptures etc...  He tries to make you believe he is an amazing humanitarian with a generous heart.  He is the opposite and is cold as ice, like the DEVIL.

 He has deceived many people, including talented professionals that he recruited to run his so called businesses.  The intention of the staff was to run a well organized business only to find out that James Walton is a con artist.  He has never made good on the contracts of past employees.  He owes staff milions of dollars in back pay and reinbursements. 

The truth is, James Walton lives in a cheap hotel.  Usually, a cheap entended stay motel setting in the Ft. Lauderdale area.  He cannot even afford to pay his basic bills,  for his hotel stay and has borrowed or stole thousands of doallrs in personal funds from his staff (who thought they had viable employment), that was never repaid.  He talks a big line of absolute and constant B.S.  His impovrished reality is he has nothing, he may have shady contacts in the financial int'l banking world but hes a nobody with a bad record who has been black balled because of his pattern of deceitful practices, unpaid bills and LIES.

James Walton does infact know Walter Taulelei well and defrauded Mr. Taulelei through this process.  Medici is one of James Walton's shell companies.  He made significant promises to Walter Taulelei and hung him (W.T.) out to dry in a very bad deal.  James Walton is a liar, he steals, he is not honest at all and tows the biggest line of crap that is sometimes very convincing.  He tells people the money is just around the corner, about to be wired etc.... in order to use other peoples resources.  In reality, like I stated.. he has nothing.  His side kicks (Jerry Crook and Robyn) are very much part of this shady and dark operation. 

James Walton is being investigated and we hope that he (along with his conspirators) will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

 I met him on a sugar daddy website. He claimed to be a millionaire. I am an attorney for Illinois and not easily fooled. My oldest son Alex hated him and said there was something off about him he has extremely good intuition and is a soldier since the age of 17 and now he is 32 and will retire in 5 years from the US army. His special needs theory comes from my daughter who had down the syndrome. Someone referred to him as the devil. I think that's a gross understatement.

This man should win an academy award for his acting in his lies. I have heard about Walter as well being his accountant and in some of his other conquest they referred to someone named Wilson who is my son, and the special needs foundation which I do have for my daughter. My daughter died at 4 shortly after I called him out on being a fake. He knew I knew he was a fake just as I knew the last time I saw him was going to be the last time I saw him. I just cut him off ended it after he disappeared which the dates correlate and he would probably have been in Florida at that time which was the end of a facade of I can't even call it a relationship it was a joke.

My daughter died in a horrific accident which I have held myself personally responsible for the past 10 years. I as a lawyer have questioned it myself a thousand different ways till Tuesday and something in my gut tells me that man is somehow responsible for my daughter's death I will plead the fifth amendment here as to my intentions if I ever found out that he was in fact responsible in any way shape or form for my daughter's death. He belongs in jail for fraud he's got on the way with it for this long is incredible to me.

Why the authorities haven't arrested him in his cohort wife Libby AKA Elizabeth is beyond me. Besides hell there is one place for this man and that is in jail. In every sense of the word he is a fraud who is defrauded people out of money, their dignity, their pride things you can't put a value on, and hurt people on so many levels and he's still not in jail why,. If you know he's committed these offenses why isn't he charged? Like I said Jim Walton I plead the fifth if I ever find out you were in any way responsible for my beloved daughter's death. Every fiber of my being is telling me now that I have some lucidity in my life after being out of my mind for so many years after the accident which did not add up.

I have told everybody including the please department in my area that if I was an investigator investigating my daughter's accident I would have questioned it 100 ways till Tuesday. I detest this human being rephrase I detest this animal who goes around screwing people and getting away with it

Due diligence on Mr. Walton

#3General Comment

Sun, April 17, 2011

I have been contacted by Mr. Walton and am considering into a business deal with him.  He has been represented as having substantial net worth by people who are well known to me.  From all appearances so far, I have no reason to believe I am being set up for a scam, other than this one report, which, of course, gives me concern.  I would like to make contact with the author of this report as I do my due diligence before entering into a contract with Mr. Walton.  If this web site does not allow us to contact each other, then what good is it other than to produce fear and doubt without allowing us to substantiate the details? 

I am not interested in anonymity, I am interested in the truth.  Even though I am not allowed to include my name or contact information, my company is Creative Engineering, Inc. located in Orlando, Florida, and at this time, I expect to be doing business with Mr. Walton and ask for anyone who may have advice to the contrary to contact me.

Amerifirst.com is not the correct web address for Ameri-First Enterprises Inc.  There is no affiliation.  My intention is not to dafame anyone, rather state the experience of myself and others I have known to work with Ameri-First Enterprises and James Walton based on factual information. My experiences with James Walton caused significant hardship to myself professional, financially and put serious emotional duress on me, others that worked with him as well as our families.  I do not what others to suffer personal and professional losses as my family and I have.

James Walton "borrowed" personal funds from staff who he had contracted with.  He never repaid them as promised.  He used staff personal credit card information to pay for

basic living expenses such as his stay in an  economy-extended stay type motel, where he lived (primary residence).  This was reported to the credit card company and procecced as a fraud claim.  I am referring to thousands of dollars.  I never understood why he would need to borrow personal funds when he stated to have billions of dollars.

Staff and so called partners were never paid or compensated for their time, expenses and other reinbursements as promised.  James Walton has lied to me on numerous occations.  He has done this to others I know.   He promised that monies were to be wired to me, sent etc.... and given me a timeline, only to discover that there were no funds being sent.  His practices have caused serious financial/emotional strain and persoanl sacrifice to individuals and their families that I have mentioned further.  There were other lies stated many times also relative to the day to day operations of the organization. 

When I was in contact with him, he would insist that the people working with him didnt communicate with eacher other.  This was almost stated with a level of paranoia,which didnt make sense considering the operation that was supposed to me happening.  The work he did and what he was doing was alwasy shrouded in secrecy.  His promises were very convincing and to this day, I am upset that I was conned.  The others that were in the same situation as me are also known as experts in their respective professions, bright individuals.  He "hired" great people which made the operation look that much more credible.  These so called staff were hung out to dry in the end as I have mentioned.

James Walton never delivered what was promised to those working closest with him.  If he is who he states he is then why couldn't he pay for his own basic living expenses?  Why would he need to borrow personal funds from people he was working with in the first place.  This happened at least four times. 

There was always a story..."money is about to be wired, we had a delay, its going to be in your account tomorrow"  were some of the things I have been told.  I have also known this to be stated to others. 

James Walton defaulted on multiple contracts without any attempt to make them right or follow through on their obligations. 

There are multiple grievances against James Walton and Ameri-First Enterprises. Several federal and state agencies are involved, that is all I will mention at this point.

I'm the communications person at AmeriFirst Home Mortgage, the holder of the amerifirst.com website. We are no affiliation to James Walton, nor this Ameri-first Enterprises. The website listed on this report is incorrect. As a mortgage banker of more than 25 years, our company does nothing with investments nor off-shore accounts. We would be greatly appreciative if this website listed was changed please.
