The name is NOT Lawrence Graiber. It is Lawrence Graber (no I in the last name). These are two totally different people and not any way, shape or form related. Please correct your spelling. Graber lives in California while Graiber lives in Illinois. Very far distance from each other. I know, I am a relative of Graiber.
Thank you.

Okay,
so we signed this letter and returned it within the time specified. On March 30, 2010 my key advisor spoke with Larry
Graeber who said that he works for Ted Crazer, an Angel investor currently
managing $63 million in investment capital.
There is a woman who also works for ted that reviews 120 business plans
per month and that out of those, she and Larry select the top three to pursue
and mine was one of the ones chosen. The
deal was simpleTed was going to put up most of the needed capital for 30% of
the company plus two (2) board seats out of a total of seven (7) and they
wanted out in 3 to 5 years. Sounds goodright?
During
our call on Tuesday, we scheduled the face-to-face meeting for a week from the
next Friday at 12PM his time but it was not until my flight was booked and two
days before my scheduled departure that he provided a firm address to
meet. Alsosomething elsehe exclaimed
that Teddy often throws out a marker.
He likes to make sure that we investment seekers are ready to make a
serious commitment to the investment group.
He said that Taddy must have been in a good mood because he usually asks
for $10,000 to $20,000 but only wanted me to bring a cashiers check for $8,600
and assured me that if Teddy does not want to commit to funding the project, I
would go home with the check. He further
wanted me to call him Thursday night to get the address of the location we were
to meet and so that he could confirm that I had everything in orderlike make
it to the bank.
So I
call this guy Thursday night and I tell him that I have everything in
order. He sounds surprised and gives me
the address we are to meet...6320 Canoga Ave. Suite 1500, Woodland Hills, CA
91367. He explained that Ted Crazer occupies
half of the entire floor. I ask him for
an alternative phone number where I can either reach him or Mr. Crazer in case
my flight is delayed or for some other reason I cannot make the appointment on time
and he assured me that he has his phone (818) 887-7888 with him at all times
and if there is any delay, just call.
About
5 minutes passed and out walks this man.
About 5ft 9in tall, 210 lbs. with a slimy cool hand shake. He offers no business card and in spite of
the fact that I have been traveling for nearly 9 hrs, he does not even offer me
a glass of water. Also, he looked like
he had just rolled out of bed. His solid
blue shirt was scared with permanent wrinkles and a half turned up collar and
he smells of moth balls. He escorts me
to an office he clearly rents by the hour.
The office had a L shaped desk, three chairs, a filing cabinet, and a
phone. No papers, no computer or laptop,
no pictures on the wall, no flowers or pictures of the wife and kidsnothing. He then starts to ask me about my
business. Now mind you, I sent this
knuckle head a 36 page business plan yet he knows nothing. I then ask for a glass of water. We get back to the office and I walk him
though it once more and says yes now I know why Teddy is very interested in
your business. He then opens a black
three ring binder comprised of 4 pieces of paper, two copies of an agreement on
legal size paper and two letter size sheets in a plastic cover. The letters in plastic looked as if he had
spilled coffee on the floor and used these letters to clean up the mess. The agreement was a 15 item agreement between
me and SAE stating that SAE is not obligated to do anything whatsoever at any
time (basically) and as Larry was reading the items, I sat with my arms crossed
and watched this guy read as if I had any interest at all in the agreement
clearly written by his 9 year old daughter as an elementary school assignment.
So
half way thought the agreement, he stops reading and looks up at me and asked
if I had any questions. I had to chuckle
and said, You are kidding me right? Where is Teddy? I want to see him right now!
There
is more to the story but it will co$t you to hear the rest. Suffice it to saybased on my personal
experience, Larry is not a very reputable business man and anyone that does
business with him does so at his/her own risk.

Hello Stanley, in response to your post, I also just received a letter from " SAE Group"
I just spoke yesterday to a man who identified himself as "Larry Greyber" and funny he spelled it out for me without me asking him to do so. He claimed to represent, (or at the least strongly implied) that he brought opportunties infront of a Mr. "Theo Cayzer" or Theodore as he followed up with. When I asked about the company he said "Theo" headed a 63 million dollar fund. And he suggested that we meet in Ca. ASAP to go before "Theo" to represent my product. I thought that is pretty strange wanting me to fly from florida with no signed agreement just a brief letter from him claiming to want to finance my request. I could go on with more but no reason, same man different company name, same address and suite # used, no mention of any fees but sure there is hook some where. I agree STAY AWAY!!!!
Thanks again for your post it was helpful to me.
