Ephoe - Lacy Barry tries to get people to invest in false company Ripoff Calgary Alberta
Lacy Barry is a 'fashion designer' living in London. She and her family are scam artists, using Lacy as a front. Her company, Ephoe, according to the Better Business Beureau of Alberta, is not even registered in Calgary.
Lacy presents herself as a young fashion designer looking for investors. What she is really doing is looking for wealthy men to fund her life style. Her family puts the investment money in an offshore account.
She has had 4 separate business partners who have invested in her company, Ephoe, and all of them have ended up with no results.
If Lacy Barry has approached you for investment please contact:

I am a family member of Lacy Barry implicated in this false report.
Although I have never met the person who filed this report I have had numerous emails from him that are unbelievably ludicrous.
I have never received any money from anyone for Lacy.
As far as having an offshore account, I wouldn't know how to get one nor do I have any funds to deposit.
I am a fibre artist and work parttime.
Lacy works for herself in her own space.
I have and continue to support her with encouragement and love.
I have always ended up with positive results from doing so.
There is no interest from any authorities concerning Lacy's business activities as all she has done has been and continues to do,to be legitimate.
All claims in this report are entirely false with no basis in fact.
The fact is that the person filing this false report also ended up with personal items belonging to Lacy, Christmas gifts sent to her from her family which included a painting done for her by her father, as well as many other items etc. etc. which he refused to return unless he was paid a large sum of money. I believe there is a word describing this type of action.
To date I have no idea where he resides or any knowlegge about his actual identity.

I, Lacy Barry am counter acting on the comment written about me and my company:As we all know the internet can be a useful tool to express freedom of speech amongst it's users. On the most part it has so many positive attributes when gathering information about history, places, people etc. But because it does allow anyone to post what they like, the truth can be a large part taken out of the equation. In this case I've been the victim of slander. If you look at the message written about me and my company, it hardly makes sense; First, of all the address does not exist. There is no such '3 Anston Road' located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, you will see even if you google map it. . . wait, I did it for you: http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&tab=wlSecond, the writer shares that the company phoe Inc. is 'not registered in Calgary'. Well if he did his homework, he would know that Calgarian businesses are never registered to the city, but the Province. The Better Business Bureau covers Southern Alberta ( again the province): says on the header of the main page. http://calgary.bbb.org/but why would I be registered as I am one single freelancer, offering services directly to other freelancers, individuals and small/ large businesses. I deal mainly one-on-one in a tangible business, if my clients don't get my product, then I don't get paid.Third, even if (I) was interested in taking money from wealthy men, an offshore account in an awfully stupid choice when there are banks in Canada, if not safes under floorboards who could hold the money quite well and still give the access to it when needed. Forth, why would some guy in New York be interested in doing a write-up about one something that happens in Calgary, Canada? and why would the FBI even care about it either. Last time I checked the FBI only worried about things that happened in the USA.Fifth, his info is (((Redacted))) and he doesn't even use his real name, actually a title quite the contrary: Honesty. hmm you be the judge, does this report have no substance or make any logical sense??Clearing things up, Honesty is a scam artist by the name of Kristopher Irizarry, A struggling writer advertising himself as a PR agent in New York City. I met him at NYC fashion week in 2006 and he did this little write-up on my work in Coolhunting; http://www.coolhunting.com/archives/2006/04/olive_oil.phpImpressed I was eager to work with him on promoting my upcoming clothing line. He provided a portfolio of work that seemed legit, but later I found was stolen from other writers folio's. I had paid him well above whatever I got and in return, which hapen to be this single write-up he got me before we started our working relationship together. ( money that came out of my own pocket). Yes I did have investors to exhibit my work in New York in the Winter of 2007, but these were funds invested from my boyfriend at the time who happened to have extra income and wanted to contribute. Should I have just denied his goodwill?The conclusion and TRUTH of the matter is, I got involved with a scam artist who had a chip on his shoulder. Not only did he take me for a few hundred, trying to get more by sending threats to myself and my family, but around the end of our business relationship he was in the process of changing his name from his adoptive father's to his real mother's; Hoeksema. Hmm what does that tell you?? But what I can assure you is if you meet a guy, standing just over 6 feet, half puerto rican, half white, has noticeable slur when he speaks, and tells you he will do PR for your company from a mid-town desk, run far far away in the other direction.or you could just reject his friendship on facebook:http://www.facebook.com/neonandwaltzesNOW THAT'S HONESTY!!
