She honors the word CRIMINAL. Big con-artist scum. Works with her husband Juan Torres. Have many aliases like Merce Garcia, Earl Garcia, Belle Garcia, Marco Garcia, Juan Guzto, Juan Garcia.
The company they are supposed to be affiliated with is Be Free International but it is a FAKE page or company managed by Tess. The real page for this company is on a different web address on Facebook so don't be tricked.
She stole our money. How? by advertising investment services that she could not perform and NOT REFUNDING US when we begged her. for our money back She keeps blowing us off telling us the market took a hit and eventually we will recover our money.
The Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities has NO REGISTRATION of an investment broker named Tess Torrer or Marites Garcia or Bee Free International Investments. When confronted she told us she was actually registered in Florida. We checked with the Office of Financial Regulation of the State of Florida and they have also NEVER HEARD OF HER however they have more than several cases open against her and her husband Juan Torres. The the story changed and she was a registered investment broker in Philippines. Lies!!!!
A lawyer I was in contact with who is building a case for another victim told me Tess became a U.S. citizen 2 years ago because the criminal charges were not filed at the time and she had not been convicted but when she is her citizenship will be revoked as per new laws and she will be most likely deported after a long sentence.
For the new victims they are casing this is how they operate: She and her husband will make you believe Tess is an investment broker professional affiliated with many companies. After you sign a FAKE contract they will give you a gift of some sort as welcome in my case it was a makeup set delivered to my house. Then time will pass and you won’t see any money nor will you be able to talk to Tess because she is too busy. They will tell you the market suddenly took a dive and it’s normal you will eventually get your money back but that is all lies. When you become suspicious they will try to coerce you into paying them more or you will lose all your money. They would even threaten legal action to keep you paying. Tess doesn’t do the dirty work but Juan does. He will contact your friends and your family even your employer pretending to be someone from a credit bureau. All this so you can back off. He threatened me he knew my address and he would come home to have a 'talk' with me and my sister.
They are totally unethical and the "likes” and “testimonies” they get on their multiple pages will be from themselves. They use REAL NAMES of REAL PEOPLE but those people are COMPLETELY UNAWARE they are being involved.
Be very careful with these people and stay away.
Stick up for criminal activities all you want Tess and Juan because soon you will be in a cold dark cell!.

I was conned & lost $750. She uses the aliases "Victoria Torres" and "Colette Torres". Her real name is Marites Garcia and her husband's name is Juan Torres Guzman. They are both swindlers. I've retained an attorney and we are putting a multi victim case together. Please contact me ASAP. Thank you

I've been informed that in order to avoid prosecution in PA Tess Torres and her husband Juan Torres have once again moved, this time to Florida.
As acknowledged by others the disgraceful story behind all this is the cruel and unstable life Tess and Juan are providing for their infant daughter constantly moving from one place to another to escape justice.
I have reported them to child services in PA & FL and I will be filing a police report with FL State Police.

I’m upset at myself for letting this woman conning me before I googled her. I signed up for her multilevel marketing program without knowing that she has left a trail of unfulfilled promises everywhere. She is a snake oil saleswoman that will say anything to convince you even use her baby daughter as a prop. My $1800 are now gone and because she made me sent it overseas to the country of Philippines there is no way Western Union and Moneygram can help me recover it. After her partner in Philippines got my transfer Tess made me believe her mother was very sick and needed surgery and told me to wait for one month until she was back on track. It’s been 4 months now and guess what? today I saw Facebook pictures of her mother here in the U.S. on vacation totally healthy.
Who is paying for all that?. I am and the other victims.
Tess Torres is a pathological liar and I don’t believe she has a MLM program. I don’t even know if Be Free International LLC is real or not. She brags online about her wealth and how good she does and how she wants to share her wealth with you meanwhile she doesn’t care about pocketing other people’s money.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. She used to work for us. I can offer some guidance because I'm getting inquiries every week about Ms. Torres.
This is a good place to start: https://www.saveandinvest.org/protect-your-money-report-fraud/reporting-investment-fraud
Report her to as may sites as possible and always be accurate with the information you provide.
Another good place where you can lodge a complaint: h t t p s : / / w w w . i c 3 . g o v
Best of luck and let us know how it goes.
