This complaint involves Luis and Heather Garcia d/b/a Honeyfrog.com, LLC (LLC ID# S150949); PC Phone Link Inc, and GPS Nanny International.
On 7/28 and 8/24, after communications with Mr and Mrs Garcia, I purchased an ownership interest in PC Phone Link, a VOIP company they were starting. The amount totaled $2060.36 and was sent to Mrs Garcia.
On 10/22 and 11/22, after additional communications with Mr and Mrs Garcia, I purchased an ownership interest in GPS Nanny, a second company they were starting. This amount also totaled $2060.36 and was sent to the same email via PayPal.
On 9/7, Mr Garcia indicated his willingness to buy back my company's ownership interest in PC Phone Link. This was confirmed by email on 9/12. Requests for payment were sent on 9/12,10/5,11/5, and 12/1—with no result.
On 12/10, by email, Mr Garcia indicated his willingness to buy back my company's ownership shares in the second company, GPS Nanny. Requests for payment were sent on 12/10 and 1/31—with no result.
On 3/7, Mrs Garcia cancelled all pending payment requests. On 3/8, a new request was sent to her, with no response received.
I would like to receive my company's $4120.72 refund as promised. These companies are substantively run out of the Garcias' home in Floyd County VA but are incorporated in various locales. Honeyfrog.com, LLC was incorporated in Virginia around 4/12.
According to the Garcias, PC Phone Link Inc is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. The BVI Registrar of Corporate Affairs advised me on 5/18 that no such company is registered there. GPS Nanny International was incorporated in Nevada on 10/5.
At no time was I, supposedly a part-owner, informed of the completed incorporations—or provided with financial statements.
There is a complaint on file against these companies with the BBB of Western Virginia.in addition, the Virginia State Corporation Commission imposed a temporary injunction on Mr Garcia from 10/28/05 to 4/5/06 for alleged securities law violations. The case number is SEC-00052.
All of the above information is documented and verifiable. I will update as more info is obtained.
Read the above account and decide for yourself whether Luis and Heather Garcia are ethical, honest businesspeople.
