Mark Lane Properties LLC out of Pheonix AZ is a sham company. They have no intent to ever do honest business because it's sole owner, Ray Otis Purselley is a complete scam artist who has been operating for several years.
Ray Purselley (47, bald, white male, 180 lbs, 6 2", wears glasses, soft voice) is a con man. His company, Mark Lane Properties LLC is listed as "Nonresidential Building Operator". The company is a false front for you to pay him or do a deal with him so he can leave with your money or offer you later payment and/or services without any intent of fulfulling his obligations. We were conned out of nearly $85,000 by his scheme. We trusted him with our life savings and he is definitely gone with ZERO ability and no intention to repay us. He is a SOCIOPATH. AND DANGEROUS. AVOID HIM AT ANY COST! He commonly acts wealthy and lives a supposed "luxury" lifestyle but in actuallity he is either living off of recent check fraud or running up his credit cards to make himself look rich. He is a heavy drinker and sometiems travels with a "girlfriend" and son.
Ray Purselley also is a known Check Kiter who commonly bounces mulitiple checks without any intent of repayment. His classic scam is that he will offer to either buy your distressed property and/or live in it for a premium rental rate, then at some point when his financing never arrives from "a development deal" or wherever else he claims. He is very cunning, and will often make multiple claims about knowing important people and/or celebrities. AVOID HIS GAME!
He is wanted by several similar victims for repayment of funds he has either stolen or fraudulently claimed to exist. BE CAREFUL AND FIND SOMEBODY ELSE TO WORK WITH NO MATTER HOW "LUCRATIVE" HIS DEAL.
Another common con his company does is to act as a holding company. They also promise services with a hefty deposit required with no intent upon completing those services (misc constuction contracting, etc).
AVOID THIS CON MAN AND HIS CON COMPANIES - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. GOOGLE HIS NAME PLUS "Scam" and you will find all of this information very helpful. I just don't want him stealing from anybody if I can help it.
The authorities are on his trail. An attorney is preparing a lawsuit against him. AVOID HIM!
