First Commodities Corp - James C Tindell
First Commodities Corp - And James C Tindell Be extremely careful dealing with James Tindell, liar and debto

I thought long and hard about writing anything on this site, but I do feel it's appropriate given the circumstances. Had I know about James Tindell and his background prior to becoming financially involved with him, I would not have done so.

James Tindell is a director of First Commodities Corp. From the website, one would believe that it's a large private bank successfully managing the funds of wealthy clients. It may be a really successful corporation and there may be well credentialed fellow directors who are experts in managing other people's money.

However, I personally know few people who have come into contact with James Tindell who have not regretted it financially. While there may be a client somewhere who is happy with First Commodities Corporation (I cannot vouch for the testimonials on the First Commodities Corp website), I personally know several people who have suffered financially as a result of James actions.

James Tindell was my former tenant. Regrettably, my leasing agent did not do a background check. Had this been done, I would never have leased my property to him. He disappeared from my property without trace leaving me several thousand dollars out of pocket. There were also several months of unpaid utility bills. I feel I got off lightly.

James Tindell offered a job to the lady working on my condo security desk. She left a reliable job to work for him and several months (and several bounced checks later), she had to relocate back to the Carolinas, her, and her husband's lives in financial ruin.

James said that he was dating a Russian doctor and in fact bought her a ring costing over $20,000 from the jeweler in the commercial part of my building. The jeweler didn't get paid for the ring but fortunately got his ring back.

James Tindell is not the kind of person I would want to have managing my financial affairs EVER.

Incidentally, if James Tindell happens to read this and wants to make amends by paying the monies he owes me, I'll very happily write a rebuttal, outlining how he has paid me in full and so on. But until that time.
