Dr. Greg Stewart claims he is a "broker of sorts" who can obtain venture capital for businesses and at the same time is seeking investors to invest with him. He used phony addresses on his website until he was caught. Claims he has been in business on his website since 1991, but the Secretary of State shows he did a name change from Heistad Drilling Inc., in June He has you travel to hotels to meet him with no legitimate place of business. He asks that you give him upfront money in our case $12,500 for what he calls due diligence. He states he will give you wiring instructions to send him the money. He wants it upfront without providing any guarantees of being able to perform.
When you ask him for verification of his credentials (i.E. Where he received his doctorate degree or explanations of how your money will be used) he quickly tells you he is no longer interested in doing the deal.
He removed his website registered privately with GODADDY.com for a few days and then reemerged with a new email address. Hotel has reported him to the police and he is now under investigation.
