DO NOT use the services of David Schiavo of Raleigh, North Carolina. As a financial advisor, he will put you in products that you don’t even want, and get more commission for manipulating your account. As a financial representative he was given access to my money. I thought he would put me in the best available mutual funds for an incredible growth stock opportunity.
(((REDACTED)))
He talked me into purchasing an annuity, even when this is NOT what I wanted to do, and then he put it through anyway. He had me sell my stock portfolio to pay for the annuity that I didn’t even want.
I now have no cash flow from his bad financial advice. His financial advice had significant monetary implications.
(((REDACTED)))
He’s despicable as a financial advisor (((REDACTED)))
