TMG, The Momentum Group, Mark Manuel, Sherman Mohr Stole My Money Brentwood Tennessee
TMG was handling the documentation for a Charter Group investment in another company, Dot Com Wireless.
On 6/30/07, I sent a certified check for $3125 via Federal Express to Mr. Sherman Mohr at TMG.
It was received and they were holding the funds for the other company, Dot Com Wireless. The funds were never turned over to Dot Com Wireless.
On August 15, the owners of Dot Com Wireless, who are friends of mine, advised me that they were no longer doing business with TMG. This was because an
Attorney warned them that the charter program TMG had established was illegal.
Mr. Mohr wanted me to email him with the instructions for returning the funds.
I did that and made several follow-up inquiries. I was assured several times by Mr. Mohr that the funds would be returned, but they were not, and many of my
inquiries were left unanswered.
Finally, after threatening to contact the Attorney General's office, they sent a release form and promised that the funds would be returned shortly.
Their release form wanted me to waive all rights to file any complaints or claims. I was willing to do that, if they did their part and returned the money
promptly.
Since they had given me nothing but a run-around for 2 months, I put a date by which the funds must be returned (Nov. 2), or I would not waive the right to
file a claim.
The release form specified the full amount of the refund.
Per their instructions, this form was faxed, but I also sent it via Fed-Ex on 10/24/07.
Again, they failed to return the money and that date (11/2) has passed, so I filed complaints with the TN Attorney General File Number 07-04626, and the
BBB, CASE#: 37043170.
Only after pressure from the AG and BBB, they finally sent me 75% or what they had kept for months, but claimed that they were entitled to a 25%
administrative fee.
Despite the fact that I had their original release form that referenced the full amount, they have yet to refund the remaining 25%, $781.25, and the AG and
BBB have stopped pursuing this.
Another friend of mine went through the identical frustrating process but TMG stole $3125 from him.
I was duped by the talk about God and the business jet.
These guys are far from honest and I recommend no one ever doing anything with TMG except running from them and sounding the alarm so others won't be conned
by them.

Sherman Mohr worked hard to return the dollars in question.

The facts detailed by Paul are indeed correct with the exception of his perception that Sherman Mohr stole money. I was a champion for the return of the dollars as was doing solely what I was instructed to do. TMG did have a contract with DotCom Wireless and funds were delivered to their offices in Nevada. Paul did everything he could have done to obtain a total refund and it was the choice of Mark Manuel to retain 25% of the dollars. I disagreed with this choice at the time given the short term nature of TMG's Agreement with DotComWireless. Fortunately, this company is no longer in business. I spent nearly a year and a half contributing relationship capital to the organization and with the exception of this misunderstanding with Mr. Paul Myer, all customers that I had any contact with during my tiime there would be willing to make strong recommendations. They may be found on my linkedin.com profile page or other search results. I made a formal resignation from all associations with Mark Manuel in the fall of 2007 and worked in the Private Equity business through March of 2008. I am pleased to say, I remain a strong corporate citizen of 19 years in Middle TN. I am a previous Board Member of the Brentwood Chamber of Commerce. I served 18 years in the highly regulated mortgage industry and was honored to be President of the mortgage industry's trade association in TN. I worked diligently on behalf of Paul and others to encourage what was right and proper. I certainly held a company line while employed there but can assure all, had it not been for my championing the return of funds, I doubt anything would have been returned. Sherman Mohr
