Erie Business Force Tom Mckenzie They actually fund deals.
In the world of wanting to get your project funded everyone wants a sure thing. Well the main reason deals do not get funded is because they are not good deals. There are many things that cause this, a poor plan, inexperience of the creator, a poor team, not asking for enough or too little money and most of all the back ground of the person creating the plan.
All investors check you out, do a back ground, run a D+B and most of all verify that your plan works or in fact is your plan. This is called diligence and it costs money and the average cost is in the $500.00 range, but if it is done in house the cost is lower.
The next time an investor approaches you on funding your project you do your diligence and do a back ground check, a D+B, a credit report and back ground on the investor. Do this instead of posting the investor on a website to see if anyone has dealings with them. Posting some on a website is scounterproductive and is not doing your diligence.
Because sooner or later the real scammers will start posting positive responses to your postings and then they really will scam you. In the world of business intelligence this is what is called counter intelligence. You counter the threat by being proactive instead of listening to rumors. Do your real due diligence and not creating a rumor mill.

Before Tom or as he is know by his friends as "Mack" posted on his web site www.tmebf.com all of the companies he provided funding for or was a part of the funding project. He is now retired, but still does take a few projects that are worthy. The people that posted this blog were some of the few that did not get funded. The reason for this was that upon investigation of the project it was found not to hold water
or information found when the back ground check was done did not match what the company owner had represented to be of their fact. This information was then presented to the company owner or broker who presented the project and a letter was generated stating that their project was not a valid undertaking and the Mack would not nor will he be part of the project presented.
The owner of the project took it upon themselves and chose to post a blog disparaging any and all parties. This is their right, since it is protected under the "Freedom of speech act". Is it morally right, no. It is their opinion., but they should stand up and say who they are so Mack and his people can defend themselves against who is posting the blog. Their animosity is what they used to hide and speak from the shadows instead of coming into the light so we can dispute their claims and let it be heard for all to hear. Instead of hiding behind a curtain.

For anyone to represent themselces as a representive of a Swiss bank instead of stating whom they is delusional. Mack does fund deals and has for a long time. Yes he owned a group of Power centers and has been involved in the auto and power center market providing funding for a very long time. Yes he does make loans and investments.
But what he does not do is make promises he does not keep. If Mack is able to fund a project he will, if not he will tell you what you need to get your project.
I know from first hand experiance. Mack funded our project after 2 years.
