I was approached to become an investor in a video game company by creative director gary luecker for a company called diversion studios, inc. They were developing a video game called "gold medal street luge". Supposedly their home office was out of arizona but they were registered as a delaware corporation and their holding office was in toledo, ohio. They showed me a demo and held a launch party. I ended up giving them $12,000 for which they gave me a fake stock certificate. I was later to discover that they were doing a typical ponzi scheme in which they promised me large returns and a job if i gave them the money. I was told my 12,000 investment would be worth 120,000 and i would get a job at 19,200 per year. The actual stock certificate was worth $120. It was supposed to be series a preferred stock and they issued common stock. The value was supposed to be $1 per stock and the issue amount was 1 cent. Of course all the parties involved have left the state and are nowhere to be found. I have tried reporting this to sec, ftc and the police with not much luck. If you hear about a deal that is too good to be true from gary luecker, randall zuccarell, laura heidtman or kara szirotnyak beware! They will just take your money and run.
